    Film review ·

    KPop Demon Hunters is another delightful, hugely original addition to their impressive catalogue. When the songs uplift and the animation excels, these minor flaws can be forgiven, for a film that deserves every bit of its global domination.

  3. Indian Express

    Film review

    KPop Demon Hunters blends visuals, bangers, and demons into a wild ride you didn't know you needed. It doesn't try to be cool, it simply is. With clean execution, sharp humor, and a Tomatometer score holding strong at 94%, it delivers.
