Hope
Is this how it ends?
In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.

An old saying maintains “Never put the cart before the horse,” an observation whose implications should be obvious. That applies in filmmaking, too: When a standalone production is thought to be the inspiration for a new franchise, the creators need to be careful not to get ahead of themselves. That’s to say that the first film in the proposed series absolutely must be a knock-out to earn the right to a sequel (or se…

The discovery of a badly mauled cow is quite perplexing for the local police chief (Hwang Jung-min), especially when a few of his wise-cracking citizens suggest it might have been caused by a marauding tiger!

Wha…

This is a really bad day for Hope Harbor. You build tension in movies by the characters being relatable and putting them in peril that you can understand.

So many good shots. Good creature movement. Funny sudden stuff. Great camera work. Reflective car hood. Cool monster throwing stuff. Sweet driving scenes... 2.5 hours. Booooooorrrriiiiiiiiinnnnngggggggg. What were they trying to prove? They could make a super long movie with too much crap in it? Well they did. So much potential lost in repetition, meandering and...too much stuff. I guess there's too much stuff str…
