Lori Anne Porter, 11, watches “KPop Demon Hunters” almost every day. She estimates she’s seen it upwards of 50 times. She also evangelizes.
“My sister had a sleepover, and she got to pick a movie to watch and she chose ‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ and she made all her friends at the party who haven’t watched it watch it,” Porter said. “It was so fun because they were like, ‘This is gonna be so bad,’ and then they watched and they were like, ‘Yeah, it’s pretty good.’”
“KPop Demon Hunters” is the animated Netflix superhit that’s on track to become the streamer’s most-watched film.
If you’ve spent any significant amount of time with a child between 5 and 15 recently, you have likely been subjected to repeated viewings and singalongs — and now you’ll likely be subjected to it in theaters, as Netflix releases the film for singalong events in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
I personally have not seen “KPop Demon Hunters.” Rather than carve out an hour and 40 minutes of my time to watch the movie myself, I instead spent two days asking kids to explain it themselves.
