A young woman yearns to learn more about her Korean heritage, only to discover that her name carries a family curse in Death Name.
Watch the trailer below — and if you like what you see, you can watch the movie right now exclusively on Tubi.
Amy Keum (The Kill Room) stars as Korean American college student Sophie Park. When she decides to reclaim her heritage by using her Korean name, Joo Hyun, she is surprised by her grandmother’s immediate protests.
Dismissing her grandmother’s warning of a curse as superstition, Joo Hyun focuses on Jun, a handsome and mysterious stranger. However, telling Jun her Korean name sets off a series of deadly events as Joo Hyun scrambles to undo a generations-long curse to save herself and her family.
Kevin Woo (KPop Demon Hunters), Vana Kim, Eliza Shin (“Big Little Lies”), Joseph Lim Kim, Alice Bang, Andy Han (“My First First Love”), Caleb Y Moon, and Desiree Mee Jung round out the cast.
Réi, whose Shutter Bird was submitted for Best Live Action Short Film consideration at this year’s Academy Awards, makes his feature directorial debut from a script by Regina Kim.
James Suttles and Jason Winn produce. Executive producers include Brittany Clemons, Nader Kheirbek, and Marianne C. Wunch.
