In a remote South Korean village named Hope Harbor, located near the Korean Demilitarized Zone, police chief Bum-seok investigates a suspected tiger attack that killed some cattle. Trouble ensues as the supposed beast bulldozes its way through the village, killing locals and destroying infrastructure.

It quickly becomes clear that something much darker and deadlier is wreaking havoc in the isolated village than any wild animal and as what begins as ignorance, plants the seeds of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.

With only three (equally incredible) films he has directed since 2008 (The Chaser, The Yellow Sea 2010, The Wailing 2017) Na Hong-jin returns with what is already South Korea's biggest blockbuster to date
