Hope
About
Hope is a South Korean science-fiction monster film from 2026. It was written and directed by Na Hong-jin and stars, among others, Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Hoyeon and Taylor Russell. In the remote village of Hope Harbor, a mysterious creature causes uproar: after brutal attacks, with reinforcements withdrawn and connections cut, the officers Bum-seok and Sung-ae must protect the tightly knit community while a group around the hunter Sung-ki heads into the mountains to hunt the beast, only to become the hunted themselves. The creature hunt turns into a desperate struggle for survival that ends in a tragedy of cosmic proportions.

Critics
7.5Very good
Critics praise the film's audacious, entertaining chaos, tension and spectacular action. They fault the weak CGI, the sagging middle stretch and the overly long running time.
