D-War

Director: Shim Hyung Rae

Language: English and Korean

Written and directed by Korean filmmaker Shim Hyung Rae, this English language film set in Los Angeles boasts stilted dialogue, wooden acting and an incoherent plot. A giant serpent awakes from 500 years of sleep and chases after a TV reporter (Jason Behr) and a girl (Amanda Brooks) who possesses magical powers that the monster wants. The serpent smashes up the city while the couple, who happen to be reincarnated Koreans, run. This is the most expensive Korean film ever. What a waste of money!
