Trailer for Chroma’s Whiskey-Soaked Kimchi Western ‘Mash Ville’ [Exclusive]
I’m really excited about the new distro label Chroma, which acquired three new genre films that they’ll be bringing to us this year. The first isn’t quite horror, but I’m a huge fan of what they’re doing and it looks quite mad.
Dread has the official trailer for Hwang Wook‘s insane looking Mash Ville, hyped as a “whiskey-soaked kimchi western”, arriving digitally on January 23.
In the film…
Se-jong Joo scrapes by in a rural backwater, brewing and selling bootleg alcohol with his two younger brothers. But when a villager dies after drinking their liquor, the brothers race to the nearby town of Hwaseong to retrieve the remaining supply—before it can cause more harm or expose them.
When they arrive, they find Hwaseong has descended into madness. A pair of fanatical killers, Yeo and Nam, are tearing through the town, slaughtering residents to satisfy a twisted obsession with collecting twelve bodies. As the streets become a living hell, the Joo brothers collide with the murderers, and what began as a desperate cover-up turns into a brutal fight for survival.
Their mission to recover the “killer alcohol” quickly unravels, trapping them in a town where death is both contagious—and intentional.
“Part of what fuels Chroma’s passion for genre cinema is how powerfully it transcends language. These three international films grabbed us immediately – they’re gripping, entertaining, and wildly inventive in ways that will resonate instantly with genre fans, proving that the best, wildest ideas cross boundaries and cultures,” said Ahbra Perry, VP of Chroma, in the initial announcement.
Here’s the trailer, and you can read more about Chroma’s slate here.
