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.

“‘Hope’ is a work that has taken years to bring to the screen and Na Hong-jin has – following his superb 2016 film ‘The Wailing’ – taken a really big swing. The result is a full-on, unapologetic action movie packed with breathtaking and breathless car chases, horse chases, footchases and monster chases. It’s unlikely a movie with quite the same kill count or expended ammunition has ever played in competition at Cannes.” ~ John Bleasdale ~ BFI
