The only known movie poster.

Status: Lost


Bulgasari is a 1962 South Korean monster film.[1] The existence of the film is often debated, as the poster may be a hoax and as with most South Korean monster films, there were few international releases, so there is no concrete way to tell if this is a real film. Though it is unlikely the film is fake as The Korean Film Archive recognizes this film and they are professional film historians. Plus Many Korean films are real and lost as it is a tragic side effect of war. [2]

There is a North Korean film a similar name (Pulgasari), which is likely a remake and could give hints to what the original movie was like.

The only known piece of media dealing with the film is the poster, as it seems to have gone missing shortly after it was released.
