Bulgasari (불가사리,   Bulgasali) is a 1962 South Korean giant monster film produced by Kwang-seong Films. Released to South Korean theaters on December 1, 1962, Bulgasari is believed to be the first Korean giant monster film, predating Yongary, Monster from the Deep and Space Monster Wangmagwi by five years, and was inspired by the same legendary monster as the 1985 North Korean film Pulgasari.[2] It is now considered lost.

Plot[edit | edit source]

Murdered by traitors during the late Goryeo period, a skilled martial artist resurrects as the iron-eating monster Bulgasari to seek vengeance.
