"A Werewolf Boy" Theatrical Poster

While American audiences continue to go wild for Twilight, movie-goers in South Korea have embraced their own ‘supernatural’ love story. A Werewolf Boy is a fantasy/romance film currently breaking box office records in that region, with over 6.5 million admissions. The story follows a young woman whose family adopts a ‘feral boy’ into their home. The boy displays an uncommon devotion to his new kin but soon draws the fear and ire of local villagers.

A Werewolf Boy has proven so popular that CJ Entertainment is even screening an ‘alternate ending’ in theaters to appease fans. The trailer for the movie is up today on Apple Quicktime. Please visit the official site for North American theatrical listings as the movie will expand to numerous locations this Friday.

"Bleak Night" DVD Cover

Distributor 5 Points Pictures continues to prep the 2010 Korean drama Bleak Night for a January 22nd, 2013 release on DVD. Although the film has been available for a little while via Netflix’s streaming service, 5 Points’ release will feature an all-new English translation. In addition, you can look forward to on-disc extras including a statement from director Yoon Sung-hyun and the original Korean trailer.

Online today is a new English-subbed trailer to help prime audiences for Bleak Night.

These days the Korean films that secure a release in North American tend to be of the commercial blockbuster variety. But with Bleak Night, writer/director Yoon Sung-hyun has crafted a dark and absorbing drama that relies on strong storytelling and performances to pull the viewer in.

With a cast rounded out by topnotch acting talent including Lee Je-hoon (The Front Line) and Cho Seong-ha (The Yellow Sea), the movie’s story tackles topical issues such as bullying and suicide in a head-on manner. Bleak Night should appeal to fans of other edgy films about the Eastern high school experience, such as All About Lily Chou-Chou or Blue Spring.

Expect a full review from Cityonfire.com near Bleak Night‘s DVD release but the movie carries our highest recommendation. In the meantime, you can pre-order the movie here.
