Ten years after his international breakthrough hit The Wailing, Na Hong-jin returns with Hope, reportedly the most expensive Korean film ever made.

In the remote South Korea village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung- min) and officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon) are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village. In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki (Zo In-Sung) set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.

Charging out of the gate with full throttle energy, jaw-dropping scale and relentless action set-pieces, the film features Squid Game break-out Hoyeon and a supporting cast including Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. Oscillating from modern-day western to action thriller, creature feature and sci-fi epic, this genre-splicing thrill ride will make audiences laugh, gasp and scream in equal measures.
