If it hasn’t been obvious before, I’ll tell you now: I love K-Horror. I am happy to report that a new K-horror film, Sleep, is headed your way. Check out the new trailer, though it may lead to a sleepless night.
Writer/Director Jason Yu’s chilling new film, Sleep, is poised to disrupt your slumber. The movie follows a newly married couple, Hyun-su (Lee Sun-kyun) and Soo-jin (Jung Yu-mi). Their seemingly idyllic life takes a terrifying turn when Hyun-su begins exhibiting disturbing sleepwalking behavior.
As Hyun-su mutters cryptic phrases and acts strangely in his sleep, Soo-jin grapples with mounting fear and the unsettling suspicion that a sinister force may be at play. With their young family at stake, the couple desperately seeks answers and a way to stop Hyun-su’s increasingly erratic sleepwalking.
Sleep boasts a captivating cast, including Lee Sun-kyun from the critically acclaimed film Parasite and Jung Yu-mi. Director Jason Yu, who honed his craft under renowned Korean filmmakers Bong Joon-ho and Lee Chang-dong, brings a unique perspective to the genre.
The K-horror Sleep recently premiered at Cannes Critics’ Week, generating buzz for its suspenseful narrative and exploration of the human psyche. It is set to land on Digital from Magnet on September 27, 2024.
