IndieWire

In the hands of directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, it’s a endearing, beautifully animated crowdpleaser, with a dorkily sincere love for the pop culture phenomena it embeds itself in.

Rated: B

Bloody Disgusting

It’s easy to see why KPop Demon Hunters is fast becoming a global sensation; it’s catchy as hell. It’s nearly impossible not to get swept up in its infectious rhythm.

Me gusta el cine

An immensely entertaining animated film that makes excellent use of complex characters, catchy K-pop songs, and stylised, colourful, and well-paced animation to deliver a somewhat predictable yet moving story. [Full review in Spanish].

Rated: 4/5

I definitely Recommend this film to people who like K pop and a interesting story but still I would recommend it to normal people as well the film fits for kids and adults the thing I like the most about the film is the plot the plot of kpop idols and demons is a awesome mix in my opinion but still anyone can easily enjoy this film the funny jokes even to the sad parts and the characters are so cool like for example Zoey she's the goofy but tuff character she is rapper and a kpop star she is my favorite character in the movie I like also jinu rimi and Mira but I would definitely recommended it.

Genuinely the worst excuse of a movie for so much high praise I was excited to watch it only to keep either a straight face or a frown I look on social media and many others have similar opinions and statements, "unfunny, lackluster, waste of time, corny and cringe." This movie was a waste of time please, DO NOT watch it
