Netflix released K-Pop Demon Hunters on June 20. In the three months since its release, the movie has become increasingly popular.
Blending music, fantasy and action, the animated film has captured both critical and audience attention.
The film holds a 95% Tomatometer based on 85 reviews and a 99% Popcornmeter from more than 250 verified ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. IMDb lists the movie with an average rating of 7.6 out of 10.
The animation for this movie is very colorful and lively. Designers gave the Honmoon effect, a key visual element tied to the supernatural side of the story, vibrant detail that really stood out on screen.
The soundtrack has also contributed to the film’s popularity. Hits like “Soda Pop,” “Takedown,” “How It’s Done” and “Golden” have not only enhanced the viewing experience but also developed their own following outside the film.
The story is also very compelling. It follows a pop band called HUNTR/X, a group of three girls who are also undercover demon hunters.
Rumi, the leader who is half demon, struggles with her identity throughout the movie. The group goes up against the Saja Boys, a demon boy band determined to steal the souls of their fans.
The film’s popularity has grown so much that Netflix expanded its reach with a special sing-along edition in theaters. Netflix showed the limited release for one weekend only, Aug. 23 to Aug. 24, inviting fans to celebrate the film’s musical side through the theater.
K-Pop Demon Hunters has proven to be more than just another Netflix release. It’s a vibrant mix of music, action, and heart that keeps fans coming back.
With its rising popularity and glowing reviews, it’s clear this film has cemented itself as a standout hit of the summer.
