From the Director of the Record-Breaking Horror Film Exhuma Comes ‘Vampir’
Fresh off the massive global success of Exhuma, director Jang Jae-hyun is officially diving into his next terrifying project, Vampir.

I will spend two years writing before preparing and shooting, so perhaps it will be ready in four years,” Screendaily quotes Jang as saying.
