The film revolves around Park Hee-bong, a man in his late 60s. He runs a small snack bar on the banks of the Han River and lives with his two sons, one daughter, and one granddaughter. The Parks seem to lead a quite ordinary and peaceful life, but maybe they are a bit poorer than the average Seoulite. Hee-bong's elder son Gang-du is an immature and incompetent man in his 40s, whose wife left home long ago. Nam-il is the youngest son, an unemployed grumbler, and daughter Nam-joo is an archery medalist and member of the national team. One day, an unidentified monster suddenly appears from the depths of the Han River and spreads panic and death, and Gang-du's daughter Hyun-seo is carried off by the monster and disappears. All of the family members are in a great agony because they lost someone very dear to them. But when they find out she is still alive, they resolve to save her. Written by

Quotes
Park Nam-Joo:
[wiping away tears]
She's so pretty in that photo.
Park Hie-bong:
She looks just like... her mom in that photo.
Park Nam-Joo:
Do you think her mom even knows that she died?

Not a chance. It's been thirteen years since she popped out the baby and ran off.
Park Nam-il:
[glares over at Gang-du, who is sprawled out on the gym floor, fast asleep and snoring gently]
I'd run away, too, damn it.

Crazy Credits
Just before the credits ends, you can hear a loud roar of the monster. See more »
Terrible CGI. Terrible acting. Terrible script. Terrible storytelling. Others have already written details on why it was so bad, but count me as another one who felt duped into giving up my cash and 2 hours of my life to watch this un-suspenseful, non-campy piece of crap.
The box contains a "review" that compares it to Jaws, but there is no comparison except that sometimes water is involved and the monster may be part fish. Part fish and part gymnast, judging by it's preferred method of locomotion. All of the characters continually do stupid things and then do them poorly. In the end, one guy actually mis-throws his last Molotov cocktail during the "climactic" end fight, dropping it behind himself. The hero of the fight is a nameless bum who is only on screen for about 40 seconds of the entire movie. Stupid stupid stupid movie. Don't waste your time or your money. Don't waste the bandwidth to stream it from Netflix. Move along; nothing (worth seeing) to see here.
