The film ‘Sahoel,’ starring Park ShinYang and directed by Hyun MoonSub, is garnering significant global attention. It is set to release in as many as 54 countries, setting a new record in the thriller genre. ‘Sahoel’ will be screened in major countries such as the United States, Canada, Thailand, Japan, and Indonesia, and is drawing global audiences with Park ShinYang’s exceptional acting and its original storyline.
‘Sahoel’ is an occult horror film that deals with an exorcism aimed at preventing an entity from awakening in the heart of a deceased daughter during a three-day funeral period. The film uniquely combines Korea’s traditional three-day funeral culture with Western Catholic occult, making it intriguing. As a result, ‘Sahoel’ is expected to bring a fresh breeze to the occult thriller genre, leaving a strong impression on audiences.
Starting with its first release in Taiwan on November 22, it will meet audiences in North America and Indonesia on December 6, and in Vietnam on December 13. North American distributor Well Go USA praised the film as “a work that tests human fear and morality by adding the presence of an ancient demon to the traditional exorcism film.” Taiwan’s Movie Cloud also noted, “It will offer a novel experience to Taiwanese audiences with its fresh concept.”
Showbox’s international team stated, “‘Sahoel’ has been highly anticipated by buyers from various countries even before its release, and most of the rights contracts were signed at the Busan Asian Contents & Film Market.” With its overseas releases in regions like Southeast Asia and North America scheduled for December, more audiences will get to experience this unique Korean occult thriller. There is growing interest in how ‘Sahoel’ will be received in the global film market.
