Synopsis:
Korean director Shim Hyung-Rae's effects-saturated, long-in-the-tooth
monster movie D-War begins with a lengthy prologue, in which an antique
dealer named Jack (Robert Forster) watches a young patron, Ethan Kendrick
(Cody Erens) get zapped with a force emanating from a chest in his shop.
Realizing the significance of this event, Jack bequeaths a medal to the boy,
and speaks candidly to him of mystical events that transpired a
half-millennium earlier. In a bygone era, it seems, giant creatures called
Buraki roamed the land, morphing from serpents into dragons and back again,
and equipped with a massive army of formidable creatures. An ancient
warrior-apprentice saved the life of his beloved from these monstrosities;
the warrior's spirit was eventually contained in the aforementioned chest,
and it has now filled Ethan. Jack gives Ethan an enchanted red pendant and
advises him to see out the contemporary incarnation of the ancient warrior's
intended, who can be recognized via a red dragon tattoo on her shoulder.
When the woman reaches her 20th birthday, it seems, she and Ethan - joining
forces - will be able to reincarnate Imoogi as dragons. That woman is in
fact Sarah (Amanda Brooks); she and Ethan do encounter one another, but it
isn't long before the Buraki serpent and all of his enormous minions
resurface and decide to lay waste to the City of Angels, worming their way
through the town as they look for the chosen pair.
