‘The Ugly’ Trailer – The Ugly Truth Is Revealed in Mystery Thriller from ‘Train to Busan’ Director this March

Train to Busan remains one of the best zombie films of the last twenty years. I’m still sobbing over that ending. So, consider me excited for anything director Yeon Sang-ho does. Well Go USA Entertainment has dropped a trailer for his next film, The Ugly, and it looks like we’re in for another treat from the filmmaker.

Described as a story of generational grief and guilt, The Ugly follows a documentary filmmaker who discovers his missing mother’s remains after forty years. Determined to find the truth behind her disappearance, he embarks on a harrowing journey to uncover his family’s dark secrets.

The film stars Park Jeong-min (Harbin), Kwon Hae-hyo (Peninsula), Shin Hyun-been (Revelations), Im Seong-jae (Emergency Declaration), and newcomer Han Ji-hyeon.

Following its debut as an official selection at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, The Ugly received 10 nominations at the 2025 Blue Dragon Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Yeon Sang-ho), Best Actor (Park Jeong-min), Best Screenplay (Yeon Sang-ho), Best Supporting Actress (Shin Hyeon-bin), and Best Supporting Actor (Kwon Hae-hyo).

See The Ugly when it lands on digital March 10th via Well Go USA. The film will then arrive on Blu-ray and DVD exclusively through Amazon on May 26th.
