How much you enjoy the movie will depend on how willingly you believe and accept the CGI dog pack. I was slightly put off by it. And Jodie's dad. And that one girl's dad - the main actor in the film. They were very one note in their characterization. But I was willing to suspend my disbelief for the entirety of the movie running time.
Although $64.40 is the new $2. For all you Savage Steve Holland fans out there.
Anyway. There is lots of tension on the bridge with some fairly minimal backstories that play into nifty plot points. Like the golfer thing. That was a nice callback.
I would watch this again.

The South Koreans are masters at making riveting and vicious crime dramas and action thrillers. I have been binge watching them for months now, BUT this is not one of those great Korean movies, this is actually below average...
The bad: the special effects look silly. The attacking dogs are meant to be frightening looking, but they actually look laughable, because of cheap CGI. The WHOLE plot of this movie, the WHOLE core of this movies' existence goes down the drain, because these wild dogs look so incredibly SILLY and fake.
NO thrill. NO riveting action. NO good drama or acting. NO jokes. This is quite bad for Korean movie standards. Not a total flop for sure, but way below what they are capable of producing in South Korea. Such a pity!

Hundreds of people get stuck on the airport bridge when thick fog causes a huge car pile-up. We follow Jeong-won and his daughter Kyeong-min, golf player Yoo-ra and her tour operator Mi-ran, an elderly couple Byeong-hak and Soon-ok (who suffers from Alzheimers), and truck driver Jo Park (who mainly serves as comic relief) as they deal with their situation.
Soon after the accident mutated dogs escape from the truck they were being transported in. Dogs were experimented on to be used for infiltration purposes for the military, but the dogs eventually became too aggressive. Doctor Yang, the project manager who is also trapped on the bridge, activates the dogs remotely, but also finds himself in a life-threatening situation when the dogs become out of control.
As the dogs start attacking people, it becomes a quest for survival for our heroes. To make matters worse, the badly damaged bridge is on the verge of collapse. The film had the potential to be a lot more suspenseful, but I guess they didn't want it too serious, so there's plenty of humour so the film can appeal to a wider audience. Some of the action sequences are well done, although the visual effects are not the greatest and the dogs are clearly CGI. This is still a very entertaining movie, so get the popcorn ready and enjoy this rollercoaster thrill ride.

Literally this movie is just a bunch of CGI dogs running on a bridge and people acting hysterically. For the genre, it was poorly executed, seemed more focused on the CGI than the story and the action. I was bored out of my mind, as it completely did not resonate with me at all. I don't care about the characters and the actions sequences were predictable and cliche, bereft of any creativity or excitement.
For a Korean film, this is an extreme disappointment as Koreans are excellent in making movies that really move the heart, either in comedy or tragedy. I kinda wish they did zombies instead of dogs.

I watched this earlier today and i thought it was REALLY GOOD! Unlike movies like Train To Busan, where i genuinely was invested in/cared about several of the characters, Project Silence's main flaw is that it barely had me caring about most of the characters due to the shallow writing (character-wise).
But as a roller coaster/popcorn, not too heavy, fun action/thriller it's definitely a solid movie. The cinematography/visuals and atmosphere/tension is very good and much to my surprise the CGI fx for the dogs was pretty good! Lord knows i HATE bad CGI monsters/creatures in movies and in this movie they did a good job!

I know that every survival horror needs to has the dumbest people alive to make it work. They don't use automatic weapon, instead they make imrpovised torches which stop burning after a minute - for example...
S. W. A. T. team were a buch of most lazy, stupid, dumb, morons in history. And pacifist - seriously - they didn't shot, don't use knives, nothing. I am guessing their combat training was conducted by Mahatma Ghandi.
This could be something of value - do you remember the fight with dogs from first Resident Evil movie? Mila was simply amazing, dogs was scary but beatable, everything looks cool and awesome.
But this time we get something so stupid it is painful to watch.

Obviously a riff on the dog eat dog quote ... so no pun intended. This is a "catastrophe movie" (if you remember or have seen some of them way back in the day, mostly in the 70s and maybe 80s, though coming back from time to time, San Andreas one of the "newer" ones) ... packed with some bite ... I mean dogs, to spice things up ... not in a eating them ... I won't even go there with a joke ... especially because the dogs are the ones attacking.
The story is quite paper thin ... but there is one side character ... when he is introduced I didn't really like him ... he is quite sleazy and tries to rip our main character off ... but later he becomes a really fun comical character who almost single-handedly saves the movie.
Characters doing stuff that does not make much sense ... but suspend your disbelief and you'll be good I reckon ... this is about having fun with a ridiculous idea ... nothing more, nothing less.

The concept underneath was fine, and it had potential too, but it did not transition into an effective finish by the climax, and I believe the writing is to be blamed!
Neither the characters nor the conversations they participate in have substantial impacts, primarily because the screenplay wandered cluelessly most of the time, failing to achieve the necessary tone and decorum!
The CGI too had its probelms, now generally I do not mind slight to moderate imperfections in visual effects, especially if the narrative is keeping me engaged, in this case however, frailties became quite apparent, to a point where they start acting as obstacles in the path of my enjoyment.

This movie didn't make me cry, but I couldn't stop crying.because of sun kyun. How much I miss his voice and his visual. Miss him alot. Movie is great. I liked it. I wanna see him like this character and I hope other people liked this movie. Each Character had struggle with this situation and I liked what they do and follow the main character. I waited for a long time for this movie. Now I watched, I really wanna see sun kyun and wanna hear his voice. I hope ,may he rest in peace. I really wanna see him and hug him. That's my only wish for me. Think I'll miss you forever likes the stars miss the sun in the morning sky.

Based on the IMDb plot synopsis, Talchul: Project Silence seemed like my kind of movie. A group of characters trapped in an unusual location, pursued by a terrible threat. I also tend to enjoy South Korean films, so I went in with high expectations. However, the movie has several issues, from questionable CGI to illogical character decisions and a number of scenes that defy basic physics or logic.
That said, the movie certainly succeeds in being entertaining. It quickly becomes clear that realism isn't a priority here, and once I let go of expecting logic, I found it a highly enjoyable sci-fi thriller. If you immerse yourself in its over-the-top world and accept its own set of "rules," the film is a lot of fun. The lead character even draws some interesting parallels to Train to Busan: he's a selfish businessman in politics who, with help from his daughter, learns to care for others as the story progresses.
The characters are distinct and unique, though many of their actions feel forced and a bit absurd. While some of the CGI occasionally breaks immersion, which is unfortunate for a story that benefits from full engagement, I still enjoyed this movie overall. If you're looking for realism and rational decisions, you may want to skip this one. But if you're in the mood for a fictional horror movie with an entertaining, nonsensical story, it can definitely be a fun watch. [6.5/10]

In this tense film, a father and daughter are heading to Incheon Airport (South Korea). But weather conditions suddenly become so bad one can't distinguish anything right in front of them. Then a thick fog causes a massive pile-up, but there is a far more concerning threat. The situation worsens when mutant military dogs accidentally break out of their cages, leaving the people trapped in a life-or-death situation. So, people stranded on a bridge being relentlessly chased by a pack of dogs. The savage creatures were born from a military experiment, and being transferred in the utmost secrecy, are let loose. The bloody dogs go after them, causing wreak havoc and massacre.
Premiered at Cannes 2023, this is a fast-paced science fiction survival horror thriller, set on a bridge on the verge of collapse and a pack of mutant animals -lousily made in G. G. I- attacking here and there. So-so but passable film that represents a crossover of genres: ¨Horror¨, ¨Thriller¨, ¨Survival drama¨, ¨Sci-Fi¨ with Echoes, creatures born from a military experiment called Project Silence, and ¨Disaster¨ with several spectacular scenes invoving the bridge catastrophe including a spectacular and risked rescue that will have you on the edge of your seat. There are creepy mutated dogs with military purports that attack victims, which is a combination of terror and Sci-Fi, and following the tradition of assassin dogs in films like Dracula's Dog (1977) by Albert Band, A Dog Called... Vengeance (1977) by Antonio Isasi, Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell (1978) by Curtis Harrington and Rottweiler by (2004) by Brian Yuzna.
It was one of the last projects worked on by the late Lee Sun-kyun, star of the Oscar-winning ¨Parasite¨. Despite his burgeoning fame, Lee turned to low-budget arthouse films to polish his acting caliber. Night and Day, Lost in the Mountains, Oki's Movie, Nobody's Daughter Haewon and Our Sunhi were all directed by Hong Sang-soo, an auteur renowned for his realistic portrayal of ordinary lives. Lee was best known for his roles in the thriller Helpless (2012), romantic comedy All About My Wife (2012), and crime/black comedy A Hard Day (2014). In October 2023, it was revealed that Lee was booked for internal investigation over suspected drug use. As a result, he voluntarily dropped out of No Way Out, an upcoming thriller drama serial which just started its production days before the revelation of his alleged drug use. On December 27, 2023, Lee was found dead at the age of 48 inside his car at a park in central Seoul. Police responded to the scene after receiving a 112 report In the passenger seat was a charcoal briquette, commonly used in suicides in South Korea. The motion picture was uneven but professionally directed by Kim Tae-gon (Familyhood, The Sunshine Boys, Short! Short! Short!, The Pot). Rating: 5.5/10. Mediocre but acceptable and passable.

So, it's March and I have finally been able to see this movie, since it never released in the US in August of 2024. Tried buying on Ebay Oct 2024 (failed, b/c the dvd English subtitles never worked... only had Chinese subtitles). Amazon forced the English dub version on their streaming services in February 2025...and I would rather watch a movie in its native language b/c the actors are giving it their all and you can tell... So after trying to see this since 2024 (8 months later), I'll give it atleast a 6/10. For some reason the complexity of the characters lacked emotional connection to the audience. I didn't feel sad or anxious when someone died. But the action scenes and comedy, kept me going. Though I enjoy action flicks and awesome K-Movies to the core.

An enjoyable sci-fi film with a sprinkle of horror. The gore is kept to an absolute minimum. The plot moves with a lively unpredictability. The transition from heartfelt family drama to thrilling horror keeps us on our toes.
Synopsis: Due to sudden deteriorating weather conditions, visibility on the Airport Bridge is severely impaired, leaving people stranded and at risk of the bridge collapsing due to a series of chain collisions and explosions. Amidst the chaos, the canine subjects "Echo" from the military experiment "Project Silence," who were being transported in secret, break free, and all human survivors become targets of relentless attacks. Various individuals find themselves stranded on the Airport Bridge for different reasons -- a government official from the presidential office (LEE Sun Kyun) who was seeing off his daughter (KIM Su An) at the airport; a tow truck driver (JU Ji Hoon) who was on his way to a multi-collision scene; an elderly couple (MOON Sung Geun, YE Su Jeong) who were returning from a trip abroad; sisters (PARK Hee Von, PARK Ju Hyun) who missed their flights, and Dr. Yang (Kim Hie Won), the researcher responsible for Project Silence -- and a desperate struggle begins for them to escape to safety.psis:
