Sbs’s new series The Judge From Hell takes viewers on a distinctive supernatural journey. At its center is Judge Kang Bit-na, played compellingly by Park Shin-hye. The show introduces Bit-na in a shocking way, declaring to doctors that she is actually a demon who has taken over the judge’s body.

It’s soon revealed this came about due to a mistake that led to Bit-na’s soul ending up in Hell after her death. As punishment, the demon judge Justitia is inhabiting Bit-na and given a dark mission: to kill 10 unrepentant murderers on Earth within a year or face death herself. Partnered with this driven yet mischievous demon is Detective Han Da-on, played with charm and integrity by Kim Jae-young.

Netflix has released the first full trailer for its upcoming Korean series Parasyte: The Grey, from Train to Busan and Hellbound filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho.

In the clip, we see a plague of unidentified parasites take over human hosts and gain power in South Korea.

Currently revelling in the success of recently-uploaded Don Lee-starring film “Badland Hunters” and already teasing the second season of “Squid Game,” Netflix has unveiled a major slate of Korean films and series for 2024.

In August last year, Netflix publicly committed to investing $2.5 billion on Korean content over the next four years. That reflected both Netflix’s position as the country’s leading streamer, with an estimated 6.5 million subscribers, and its adopted role as one of the biggest exporters of Korean film and TV content.

“We were able to make this [investment] decision because we have great confidence that the Korean creative industry will continue to tell great stories,” said the streamer’s co-chief Ted Sarandos at the time of the spending commitment.

The Tuesday reveal is a mix of: first-look images and updates for previously announced projects (including the retitled Park Chan-wook-produced film “Uprising” and the second season...

There is no struggle more classic than man versus beast. More specifically, there’s no story more timeless than the battles of heroes and monsters. Literature, legend, and, of course, cinema love a good creature feature. Monstrum is a return to form and hits all the notes of a great monster movie, with a sophisticated edge that keeps the entire film refreshing and exciting.

In the 16th century, a time of political unrest and fear, a plague is wiping out the villagers on Mount Inwangsan. Rumors begin to spread of a vicious monster that is responsible for bringing the plague and slaughtering entire villages. In response, the King calls his most trusted general and a band of heroes out of retirement to get to the bottom of things. They will discover that the real threat may not simply be the beast itself… but something much more sinister.

"Those kids don't know they're on a suicide mission, do they?"

We’ve got an intense trailer here for you to watch for an upcoming movie set during the Korean War. It’s called Battle of Jangsari, and it’s based on the true story of a small, inexperienced battalion of student soldiers who are given a mission to liberate the strategic location of Incheon.

This was a critical point in the Korean War and these young men entered battle on the frontlines of Jangsari beach with “little ammunition, low food supplies and second-hand weapons.” The film tells the stories of these forgotten heroes of the Korean War.

The film comes from director Kyung-taek Kwak, and the cast includes Kim Myung-Min, Minho Choi, Sung-Cheol Kim, In-kwon Kim, Si-Yang Kwak, George Eads, and Megan Fox.

The film recently opened in Korea last month and Go USA will release The Battle of Jangsari...

"Those kids don't know they're on a suicide mission, do they?" Well Go USA has released the official Us trailer for the Korean war movie titled The Battle of Jangsari, the latest from Korean director Kyung-taek Kwak. As the title indicates, the movie is about the "Battle of Jangsari", also known as the Battle of Incheon during the Korean War in 1950. During a critical point in the brutal Korean War, a small, inexperienced battalion of student soldiers are tasked with liberating the strategic location of Incheon. With little ammunition, low food supplies and only second-hand weapons, the soldiers head for the frontlines of Jangsari beach. Based on a true story. The cast includes Kim Myung-Min, Minho Choi, Sung-Cheol Kim, In-kwon Kim, Si-Yang Kwak, George Eads, and Megan Fox strangely enough. This is opening in Us theaters this very weekend if anyone wants to see it on a big screen. Here's...

“Extraterrestrial”

Director: Nacho Vigalondo

Writer: Nacho Vigalondo

Starring: Michelle Jenner, Carlos Areces, Julián Villagrán

“Extraterrestrial” is a movie I’ve been excited about for a while, in part because of how it was marketed – the small, almost invisible glimpses of the alien ships in the posters, and the creative viral marketing aspect to it all. Later on, when it was revealed to be something of a comedy, with a smirking Spaniard looking out and holding a glowing tennis ball, everyone cocked their eyebrows, and wondered just what this thing was going to turn out to be.

It’s a slighter film than one would initially expect, being more dependent on the inter-dynamics of the three people and their ever-revolving love triangle at the heart of it than on any kind of spectacle that you would expect from an alien invasion movie, but that’s not particularly a bad thing. There...

One would be hard pressed to argue that My Way is anything but an epic film. The size and scope of the story is daunting, but just because something is long and dense doesn’t mean it is also engaging. Erratic quick cuts wither what is a fairly by-the-numbers war movie that has some pointed but interesting things to say. Set in Seoul in 1938, the film follows the journey of two Japanese and Korean rivals who eventually fight in the war together against China. They survive battle after battle and through their travels discover a bond that is stronger than hate: getting home. Over 137 minutes we see a story told on a grand canvas that ends up in remarkable places.

The film begins with the story of a rich Japanese boy named Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) and his family who goes to live with his grandpa in modern day Korea.

Some cheesy moments and high adrenaline action may very well be the saving grace of Quick, a Korean-made film. The name will not get any headlines, since it looks like Keanu Reeve's Speed on acid, but mix in some fun from the opening act of Katsuhiro Otomo's animated opus, Akira, with some stylistic cinematography and trippy stunts, this film may potentially be a product to check out.

There are no psychics or secret government agendas to keep an eye out for. Instead, the fun and thrills of motorcycle races is certainly more thrilling to watch than a clumsy city bus that can't stop.

Ki-Soo (Lee Min-Ki) was a member of a motorcycle gang during his youth, so audiences have to wonder if the invisible antagonist is part of Soo's past. He is clean now, and is working as a delivery service. But when one of his latest trips proves to be dangerous,...
