Images from Korean Anthology Chiller ‘App the Horror’
Hong Kong’s Autumn Sun shares a new image and details on the South Korean anthology film App The Horror, starring Squid Game’s Anupam Tripathi.
The film is directed by six rising Korean filmmakers and weaves interconnected tales based around a mysterious phone app, which unleashes vengeful spirits tied to social media, loneliness and teenage life. The cast also includes Lim Ye-eun (You And Everything Else).
Producer is Hyung Seul-woo, writer/director of 2023 romance Someone You Loved, for Heart People Pictures.
The film was released in South Korea on February 18 and has taken nearly $650,000 from 100,000 admissions to date.
ScreenDaily reports that horror omnibus has been sold to Malaysia and Vietnam (DH24 Vision), Cambodia (Westec) and Taiwan (Moviecloud), with theatrical releases planned for April and May. Advanced talks are underway for Japan, the Philippines, Russia/CIS, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia, according to Elliot Tong, head of sales and acquisitions at Autumn Sun.
Autumn Sun will be showing fresh footage from the upcoming feature at the market in Hong Kong.
No word on North American sales just yet.
