Why families can't stop watching this hit Netflix movie

If you haven’t heard of K-Pop Demon Hunters yet, where have you been hiding?

Netflix’s animated musical fantasy has officially taken over living rooms, car rides, and family group chats across the globe. And guess what? It’s not just the kids who are obsessed. Parents (yes, even the ones who swore they’d never get into K-pop) are totally hooked too.

What’s the hype about?

This animated musical fantasy follows HUNTR/X - a fierce K-pop girl group who battle demons by night and rock stadiums by day. K-Pop Demon Hunters blends Charlie’s Angels energy with Buffy the Vampire Slayer-style action and animation from Sony Pictures Animation (known for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and Hotel Transylvania), all wrapped in glitter and girl power.

Since its June release, it’s smashed records with over 158 million views, making it Netflix’s fourth most popular English-language movie ever.

The soundtrack that’s got everyone singing

Let’s be honest - the soundtrack is a huge part of why K-Pop Demon Hunters is so addictive. With hits like the emotional Golden, fiery Takedown, and sweet-but-sinister Soda Pop, the songs are pure pop perfection. Crafted by producers behind BTS and Dua Lipa, they’re catchy enough to have both kids and parents singing along - even when the movie’s not playing.

Why parents are loving it too

Here’s the twist - K-Pop Demon Hunters isn’t just for kids. Parents are loving it too, with social media full of parents joking about watching it “10 times and dancing on the coffee table with a sword.” 

What started as casual viewing has turned into full-blown fandom - the movie has become a fun way for families to bond, laugh, and sing along together. 

It's not just those with kids who have gotten on board either, one fan wrote, "My husband and I watched and enjoyed this unironically. We don’t have children."

And it’s more than just catchy tunes and cool visuals. At its heart, it’s a story about identity, friendship, and embracing who you are, making the film a hit with viewers of all ages.

Should you watch it?

Absolutely. K-Pop Demon Hunters is a fun, feel-good ride packed with heart, humour, and unforgettable tunes. It’s one of those rare gems that brings the whole family together - so grab the snacks and get ready to fall for the fiercest demon-slaying girl group around.
