About the film

Survive the hive.

What it’s about

Professor Kwon Se-jeong is at a biotech conference when a virus is released, transforming people into aggressive creatures. Authorities seal the building, trapping her and a small group of survivors inside. The infected evolve rapidly and act with a collective mind, leaving the survivors to fight for their lives with no way out.

What hooks you

Yeon Sang-ho, the director behind 'Train to Busan', brings his claustrophobic horror to a vertical setting. The director drew on 'Mobile Suit Gundam' and 'Evangelion' for the heroine, and choreographed the zombies to move like fingers on a pianist's hand—individual yet unified. Filming took place in Dangjin from March to 13 June 2025.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who likes contained survival horror with relentless pressure and a touch of body horror.

Trivia

  1. The film's shooting period is from March to June 13, 2025.
  2. Filming took place in the city of Tangjin.
  3. In many interviews, director and screenwriter Yeon Sang-ho admitted that he wanted to show humanity's fear of artificial intelligence and loss of individuality in this film.
  4. Actor Choi Woo-jin, who played Song Yong-chul as a teenager, looked so much like actor Koo Kyo-hwan (who played the adult character) in his childhood that a theory spread on the Korean internet that the younger version of the character was created using neural networks.
  5. According to director and screenwriter Yeon Sang-ho, the main sources of inspiration for creating the protagonist (Jung Ji-hyun) were the characters Amuro Ray from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam and Shinji Ikari from the anime Evangelion.
  6. Yeon Sang-ho invited choreographers specializing in avant-garde dance and tasked them with creating zombie movements that would not be identical but would be coordinated. As an example, he cited the movements of ten fingers playing a piano — all fingers move differently but serve a common goal.
