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 area. In a forest nearby, a party of hunters including Sung-ki (Zo In-sung) set out to track the beast, only to 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 into a tragedy of cosmic proportions. Premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, Hope “races from modern-day western to action thriller to horror film to science-fiction epic—all while retaining the full-throttle energy and sweaty cult-movie atmosphere of a 1970s exploitation flick,” according to the BBC.
