Project Wolf Hunting(늑대사냥) Korean Film Thoughts

 






    Project Wolf Hunting is a 2022 film directed by Kim Hong Sun and stars actor singer Seo in Guk alongside Jang Dong Yoon with Sung Dong il, The film was selected for film festivals where it was well received but was most successful in South Korea. 




    A group of criminals being transported to by sea decide to overtake the police onboard and return to South Korea... Little do they know that they have entered into a situation beyond their wildest nightmares. 








     This is a film that has a pretty slow start. You get introduced to some characters that aren't likable at all.  Their situation isn't a good one since they are captive on a ship with no means of escape. Then before you get to the midway point, things pick up on a very violent fashion. Please be warned that this film has a certain level of violence. It's not the worse that I've seen though.Violent scenes continue as they distract from the mystery portion of the film. Especially when outside forces join the party.... I won't say too much because I think the surprise is one of the best parts of Wolf Hunting.  A lot happens by the end of everything that transpires, yet there was enough of a reveal to possible have a sequel. I'm not sure if that will ever happen though. 









   I thought the acting was alright. Their performances were reminiscent of other films such as The Witch or even Frankenstein. The execution of everything was fine. It just wasn't a lot to work with.      








    Project Wolf Hunting excels the most in it's horrific violent action than anything else. The plot is just good enough to support the blood bath. If a bloody good time is what you're seeking, then you will enjoy this film as much as I did.
