What to Know

Critics Consensus

Project Wolf Hunting's slight story takes a back seat to all the action -- and for fans of all-out cinematic mayhem, that's exactly as it should be.

2/5
The inventively relentless action is rather let down by a screenplay that is leakier than a minor supporting character after one of the many stab rampages. Go to Full Review

4/5
If you had a pound for every slashed jugular and staved-in cranium in this Korean horror-thriller, you would probably have more than the film’s entire budget. Go to Full Review

[A] by-the-numbers body count flick that too often looks like an overproduced video game. Go to Full Review
Julian Singleton Cinapse Jul 11
Project Wolf Hunting cements itself as a future action cult classic, succeeding based on its wildly unpredictable surprises as much as on its absurdly gratuitous and satisfying close-quarters violence. Go to Full Review

7.5/10
Overall, I had a fun time with Project Wolf Hunting. It really feels as if Mr. X from the Resident Evil 2 Remake got dropped in the middle of a game of Call of Duty and just ran wild with it. Go to Full Review
Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana The Geek Show (UK) 07/09/2024
Project Wolf Hunting is a thoroughly entertaining gore-fest, ideal for fans of the extreme and continues the tradition of South Korea being a shining beacon of horror and violent thrillers. Go to Full Review

Annette Z 10/13/2022 Movie was amazing, so intense, has you on the edge of your seat the entire time See more Norm V. 10/13/2022 Wow! Action thriller and horror in one plus science fiction See more looping Q Sep 4 The problem with the movie in my opinion is the (Timing and Event organization) If it had started with the human experimenting but make it ambiguous, and then provide us with a brief of a back story, later comes the story of the of the criminals being transferred. I think this would make much more sense and make the plan of the (normal) criminals really stupid compared to what else is going in the ship the suspense would be there and plus this could have made them cut those useless scenes See more Ron W @RonBGrumpy Jun 9 What a terrible movie. This may be the worst Korean movie I have ever seen, though I confess to only seeing a dozen or so. It was set up to be a movie like Alien or the Thing but it was wasted by turning the first half of it into a simple gore fest. Maybe the second half got better but I could only watch it about halfway. I was expecting more of a Western type of process so I was a bit surprised that they brought on so many cops and robbers in addition to the crew since I thought they would be knocked off one by one and assume that the only survivor would be the female cop since I recognize her as a major star and one of the criminals. But they managed to kill almost everybody before the monster even appeared. This was helped by a major plot hole that could easily have been fixed. Instead of characterizing the 20 detectives as a veterans with all more than 10 years experience they could simply have said we have selected 20 detectives who have failed numerous IQ tests and who all had their elementary school graduation diplomas forged. I did feel sorry for the crew since they were civilians and quite frankly were in a situation that they could never expect and had no experience with but the cops, my goodness it'd be hard pressed to find a stupider collection of people anywhere. If they wanted to the skyrocket the body count, there are better ways to do it. I'm sure somebody on the production has a 5-year-old at home who could come up with a more entertaining scenario.

See more Sarfaraz A Mar 22 Kim Hong-sun directed the South Korean science fiction horror film. Starring Seo In-guk, Jung So-min, Choi Gwi-hwa, and others. An operation to extradite Korean criminals from the Philippines ended in the deaths and injuries of innocent passengers, cops, and criminals when a grieving loved one of one of the victims of criminals carried out a suicide bombing at the airport. Long after, South Korean authorities deploy cops to repatriate Korean criminals from the Philippines, this time by cargo ship. These criminals are extremely violent. Unbeknownst to them, a deformed man with super strength is being shipped onboard, and he needs injections every six hours. The next frames show convicts releasing themselves and savagely assaulting officers, chewing off ears, bashing skulls with hammers, handcuffs, and other blunt objects. Meanwhile, the monster has awakened, unleashing considerably more agonizing attacks on criminals and officers, shocking them all. I can't believe I missed this gem. Perhaps because I took a break from movie watching for a few years, I missed numerous movies and am now attempting to catch up on them. Anyway, this was really a surprise to me. I read a brief synopsis of criminals being extradited, and I thought, "This will be fun." However, I had twice the enjoyment here because the film depicted two wicked groups. Hong-sun has stupefied us on numerous occasions. He depicts mystery within mystery, how even insane and psychotic people dread for their own demise when the time comes, no matter how much they mock their victims' helplessness. I give the film a favorable score, and I would have given it five stars, but the end did not make it impeccable. It hinted to a sequel, of which there has been no word. See more Read all reviews
