This live-action adaptation of the Japanese video game series "MonHun," which has been a worldwide sensation, has attracted much attention as to how Hollywood will bring the world view of the series to the big screen.
The film shows the beginning of the battle against the Diablos subspecies, one of the most powerful and ferocious of the giant monsters in the series and a representative monster of the series.

The main character Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and the mysterious hunter (Tony Jaa) meet in a dangerous desert area inhabited by many giant monsters and team up for a desperate battle. Taking advantage of the "black-horned dragon" Diablo's habit of hunting down its prey by sensing sounds, they fly a barrel trap over the desert as a diversion, but when the Diablo senses their movement, it roars ferociously and closes the distance at a frightening speed. It closes the distance. ......

Is there any way for Artemis and her team to defeat this ferocious and powerful enemy? Will they be able to return alive from this "MonHun" world full of danger and adventure?
The film perfectly recreates the atmosphere of the game, with the familiar scene of the Diablos subspecies attacking from underground, which is a real thrill for fans of MonHun, where you are facing monsters in a vast field.

Director Anderson, who has been involved in the film project and has been an avid MonHun player for over 10 years, said, "The monsters were as much of a draw for this film as the story and the actors. I'm one of those people who wants to see my favorite monsters in live action. I'm a fan of the monsters before I'm the writer and director of this film.

The Diablos subspecies, in particular, "is a very difficult monster to defeat and plays an important role in the film," he said, adding that it is one of the symbolic monsters that will greatly influence the world of MonHun.

What is the "strategy" of the Diablos subspecies, which has been rampaging wildly enough to satisfy fans of the original work? The film's extreme visual world, completely recreated by Hollywood, is one that one cannot take one's eyes off of.
