‘Exhuma’ Trailer – Korean Blockbuster Unleashes a Supernatural Sickness in U.S. Theaters This Month
The breakout Korean blockbuster Exhuma is getting a release here in the United States, Bloody Disgusting has learned. We’ve also been provided with the film’s official US release trailer.
From leading international and indie film distributor Well Go USA Entertainment, Exhuma opens in Los Angeles March 15 and expands across U.S. theaters March 22.
The film—which surpassed 6 million admissions during its first 11 days in Korean theaters—is distributed by Showbox in its home territory.
Exhuma is directed by Jang Jae-Hyun (Svaha: The Sixth Finger) and stars popular Korean actors CHOI Min-Sik (Oldboy, I Saw the Devil), KIM Go-Eun (Hero, Little Women), YOO Hai-Jin (A Taxi Driver), and LEE Do-Hyun (Prison Playbook, Sweet Home).
In the film, “When a renowned shaman (KIM Go-Eun) and her protégé (Lee Do-hyun) are hired by a wealthy, enigmatic family, they begin investigating the cause of a disturbing supernatural illness that affects only the first-born children of each generation. With the help of a knowledgeable mortician (YOO Hai-jin) and the country’s most revered geomancer (CHOI Min-sik), they soon trace the affliction’s origin to a long-hidden family grave located on sacred ground.
“Sensing an ominous aura surrounding the burial site, the team opts to exhume and relocate the ancestral remains immediately. But as something much darker emerges, they soon discover what befalls those who dare to mess with the wrong grave.”

“You’ll never watch Aliens the same way again.” That’s the promise of upcoming documentary Aliens Expanded, which aims to be the ultimate companion to the 1986 classic.
In addition to featuring a brand new exclusive interview with director James Cameron, Bloody Disgusting has learned that star Sigourney Weaver has joined the production!
Recounting her history-making portrayal of the bad-ass, gender-breaking protagonist of Aliens, Sigourney Weaver joins the Aliens Expanded documentary to discuss the classic film.
In a candid, brand-new interview discussion with director Ian Nathan, Sigourney Weaver shares untold experiences from the set of Aliens, how Ripley’s world evolved in the sequel, and how the film has become a science-fiction classic.
In honor of Sigourney Weaver joining the production, the Aliens Expanded pre-sale has extended its campaign until May 13, 2024.
“Having Sigourney Weaver join Aliens Expanded is a crowning achievement,” says writer-director Ian Nathan. “Ripley is the heart of the film, the heart of the story, and Sigourney gave one of the defining performances of her career in Aliens. With her wonderful memories and thoughts, this documentary serves as the essential companion to the Alien universe. It is an honour to work with Sigourney, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what she brings to the documentary!”
Sigourney Weaver’s portrayal of Ripley is considered one of the greatest characters in science-fiction, known for challenging gender roles in genre films and for changing the course of film history. The role of Ripley in Aliens also earned Weaver her first Academy Award nomination, a landmark achievement given the fact that the Academy had given little recognition to science-fiction and genre films.
“Ripley is a history-making character who changed the game in genre film,” says Robin Block, CEO of CREATORVC and producer of Aliens Expanded. “We are thrilled to welcome Sigourney Weaver into the fold of the documentary, joining her colleagues James Cameron, Gale Anne Hurd, Paul Reiser and more. With her addition to the film, we are certain that fans will find Aliens Expanded to be the definitive documentary on the history-making film that changed cinema.”
Aliens Expanded supporters can be a part of history-in-the-making with pre-order packages made available at www.aliens-expanded.com, now extended until May 13,2024.
Offering unique opportunities for limited-run merchandise, limited Blu-ray editions of the film, and their name in the credits, fans can get their hands on their own piece of Aliens Expanded, slated for limited release in June 2024.
