Hope
2026 · TMDB 7.8 · 호프
Directed by Na Hong-jin
In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community. 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.
Why it matters
Na Hong-jin's village creature feature begins as a police investigation and becomes something far larger and stranger, with Bum-seok and Sung-ae caught between a real threat and a community's eagerness to misread it.
