"Have you heard of the Silence Project?" Cj Entertainment has revealed a first look teaser trailer for the film Project Silence, a new fantasy disaster thriller / survival creature feature from Korea. The film is premiering at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival this month in the Midnight section, one of their annual Korean thriller picks to show each year. The plot of Project Silence takes place on the bridge connecting Incheon Airport to the mainland, where a bunch of people are desperately fighting for their survival. As the bridge threatens to collapse after an accident, an "unknown beast" is unleashed. That's all the short synopsis says - though this teaser hints that the "beast" is really multiple beasts. They're dogs? Perhaps manufactured super killer dogs? The ensemble cast features Lee Sun Kyun, Ju Ji Hoon, Kim Hie Won, Moon Sung Geun, Ye Su Jeong, Kim Tae Woo, Park Hee Von, Park Ju Hyun,...

Six years after his last feature “The Show Must Go On”, Han Jae-rim managed to make his overall third work “The Face Reader”, a period drama set during the Joseon dynasty, again starring Song Kang-ho in one of the leading parts. While his previous movies were certainly praised by audiences and critics alike, his third effort was his most successful one, both commercially and critically, winning major awards at the 50th Grand Bell Awards, the 34th Blue Dragon Awards and the 33rd Korean Association of Film Critics Awards, to name just a few. Apart from focusing on the power politics and scheme-making among the rulers of the time, the story is also part of a film project centered around Korean fortune-telling traditions, and was followed by “The Princess and the Matchmaker” as well as “Feng Shui”.

“Chewing Gum”, from Mihir Fadnavis, features a strange man (Randeep Jha) tormented by an unearthly being on a trip through the city as he becomes increasingly aware of malicious forces chasing after him. This is a fairly fun and chilling short that gets the block off to a great start. The moody black-and-white cinematography from Pratik Shah adds immensely to the presentation, enhancing the shadows around him and keeping the suspense piling up with the strange creature following him almost entirely invisible as a result. The terrifying screeches, groans, and slurping sounds it emits are genuinely chilling, and add to the terrifying ordeal he experiences into the night. This segment can easily be stretched and expanded into a longer feature as the folklore and imagery provided here are top-notch.
