What it is about
What to expect
Na Hong-jin returns to the screen with a story set in 1991 Hope Harbor, a remote South Korean village where police chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung-min) and officer Sung-ae (Zo In-sung) look into attacks linked to an unknown creature. The movie draws its tension from local ignorance hardening into conflict, pushing a small-town crisis toward something cosmic. The cast includes HoYeon, Taylor Russell, Cameron Britton and Alicia Vikander. At 2 hours 37 minutes, it is a long sit, and the only format in Hong Kong is 4DX — motion seats and environmental effects are built into the screening. It holds an audience score of 8.3 from 25 votes, rated IIB (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult). Across the next week there are 192 screenings, spread over 20 cinemas and 15 districts; the cheapest ticket is HK$65.
