So let's say you muster enough courage to finally head for the eerie and infamous island of Higan, to find your lost brother. You're already prepared for the hordes of grumpy vampires waiting for you there, but probably not for the fact that said brother has turned into a world class vampire slayer in the meantime.
Adapted from Matsumoto Koji's graphic (and that's an understatement) novel, 彼岸島 (Higanjima) is the new film by 화산고 (Volcano High)'s Kim Tae-Gyun, who's been pretty much directing in all sorts of directions (from teenybopper melodramas to somber tales of North Korean defectors) before likely going back to what gained him fame at home and abroad.
The film premiered at this year's PIFF and has been recently acquired by Showbox, so Korea will get a theater release along with Japan (where the film starts its run on January 9). Trailer is finally out, so take a look. Sure looks... energetic?
