Monster hunter movies (unrelated to Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise) have carved out a unique niche, captivating fans of thrilling and bloody adventures told from a personal perspective. Regardless of their setting, source material (many are adapted from comic books or novels), genre, or central theme, these films have a timeless appeal. They often center on brave, sometimes tragic characters who, willingly or not, take up the fight against evil in all its forms — be it monsters, witches, ghosts, vampires, or other supernatural threats.
