‘Hope’ Featurette Gives a BTS Look at the Thrilling Action [Watch]

Na Hong-jin‘s (The Wailing) upcoming creature feature, Hope, has quickly become one of my most anticipated horror films of the year. I’m a huge fan of The Wailing, and the action-packed trailer for Hong-jin’s latest looks nothing short of spectacular. Today, Neon has released a BTS look at the thrills of the film, and it only has me salivating more for the release.

In it, we’re taken behind the scenes of how some stunts were performed, watching as actors are ripped away by wires and thrown about. If there’s anything to take away from it, it appears we’re in for one monstrous thrill ride.

The film’s title comes from the location: “In the remote village of Hope Harbor, a mysterious creature has wreaked havoc on the village. Police and local hunters set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead. But not all is as it seems. As panic spreads and reality begins to unravel, the village finds itself facing something far beyond imagination.”

Starring are Hwang Jung-min (The Wailing), Zo In-sung (Moving), Hoyeon (“Squid Game”), Michael Fassbender (The Killer), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), and Cameron Britton (“Mindhunter”).

Hope marks the first feature from Hong-jin since his excellent folk horror film, The Wailing.

Set your sights on Hope when it lands in theaters September 9th via Neon.
