The premise

Ethan learns he carries the spirit of a warrior who battled dragons in 16th-century Korea -- and one day he'll find a tattooed girl carrying the spirit of that warrior's beloved. Years later, he meets Sarah and dragons soon descend on Los Angeles seeking out the two souls of the ancient lovers.

Horror Vault's take

A man discovers he is the reincarnated guardian of an ancient Korean legend — one that binds him to a woman marked by fate and hunted by colossal serpentine monsters. When the prophecy catches up to the present day, the skies and streets of Los Angeles become the battleground for a centuries-old war. Rooted in Korean mythology, the film delivers large-scale creature carnage on a Hollywood backdrop. Fans of kaiju-scale spectacle will find plenty of destruction to sink their teeth into.
