Hideo Kojima Praises KPop Demon Hunters, Admits It Made Him Tear Up

Hideo Kojima is back with his Twitter movie reviews, and he’s raving about Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters.”

“I started watching ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ on a whim, got totally hooked, and ended up bawling my eyes out by the end,” Kojima shared. “It was just so good.”

The film, crafted by directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, along with Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan, centers on a girl group called Huntr/x, who use their vocal talents to battle demonic forces. They find themselves in a showdown with the Saja boys, a rival boy band that turns out to be demons in disguise. The voice cast features Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Ahn Hyo-seop, Ken Jeong, and Lee Byung-hun.

“KPop Demon Hunters” has become Netflix’s most-watched original movie ever, amassing an incredible 365 million views and counting. In response to the film’s overwhelming success, a sequel, “KPop Demon Hunters 2,” is in the works, but fans will have to wait until 2029 for its release.

Kojima may be a titan in the gaming world, but he also has a knack for movie critiques. It’s clear when he’s not impressed with a film, as he often just mentions he’s watching it without further comment. However, he penned around 200 words on “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” expressing that it “gave me renewed pride and courage as we look toward the future.”

“KPop Demon Hunters” is currently streaming on Netflix.
