Lionsgate Nabs “Glee” Star’s ‘The Hunters’ for Home Video
The woods are off limits this December as Lionsgate debuts The Hunters on DVD, Digital Download and On Demand December 27. A terrifying horror film with twists and turns, the film stars Dianna Agron (TV’s “Glee”) and Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow). After deciding to spend their last day together in a place that was once off limits, a group of high school friends find themselves hunted in the woods. The DVD premiere also includes a “making of” featurette.
“Finally coming to a close on their high school years, a group of friends decide to spend time in the one place that was forbidden as kids – the woods. They come upon what they believe is an abandoned fort, until they find the walls dripping with blood and decomposing bodies lining the floor. Clearly they’ve made a mistake, but find themselves trapped by the people who call the fort home – the hunters.”
A creature wreaks havoc upon a community in Hope, from writer-director Na Hong-jin (The Wailing), and the new poster gives a closer look at the snarling beast.
The Korean monster movie will be released in theaters in the United States by NEON on September 9.
Check out the new poster below.
Set in the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village.
In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki, set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead. 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.
Hwang Jung-min (The Wailing), Zo In-sung (“Moving”), Hoyeon (“Squid Game”), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), Cameron Britton (“The Umbrella Academy”), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), and Michael Fassbender (Prometheus) star in Hope.
Hope had its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival back in May. The festival’s director, Thierry Fremaux, previously teased that Hope “constantly changes genres” to capture a story of “no part of history that’s ever been told before.”
