Hope
In the remote South Korean 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.
A master of the thriller and horror genres, Na Hong-jin (The Chaser, The Wailing) directs an incredibly talented cast—which, by the way, includes Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander and Oscar-nominee Michael Fassbender—in this rip-roaring, utterly visceral, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that was perhaps the most lavishly-praised film at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
"It’s a great feeling to know from a movie’s first frames that you’re in the hands of an assured genre auteur. The rare action thriller that takes place almost entirely in broad daylight, Hope pulls you in immediately with its virtuoso camerwork, pulse-pounding score, adrenalized pacing, and sharply drawn characters."—David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter.
