Ma Dong-seok sets out to catch the devil this time.

The movie ‘Demon Hunters’ starring Ma Dong-seok has confirmed its release on April 30th and released a teaser poster and teaser trailer.

‘Demon Hunters’ is an occult action film about a city in chaos due to an evil-worshiping group, and the dark solvers ‘Demon Hunters’ team of Bow (Ma Dong-seok), Sharon (Seo Hyun), and Kim Gun (David Lee) with special abilities, who punish the evil group.

The released teaser poster captures the intense chemistry of the ‘Demon Hunters’ team that even catches devils. The only one who can stand against the demons and evil worshippers who have taken over the city, the leader of the ‘Holy Night’ team, Bau, who hunts demons with his rock-like strength and fists, radiates an overwhelming aura. Sharon becomes Bau‘s reliable right-hand man with her powerful exorcism that can exorcise any demon, and Kim, holding a camcorder, records footage and digs up information about the demons’ identities and what they are trying to do. Curiosity is piqued as to what kind of performance the ‘Holy Night’ team will show against the huge group of evils visible beyond the dark silhouettes in the intense flames.

In the released trailer, Ma Dong-seok, who appeared with the song ‘Silent Night, Holy Night’, immediately overwhelms the viewer. With the line, “Hey guys, let’s go out to work,” the “Holy Night” team appears to take down the evil group, and Bau, who has special abilities, coolly beats down the worshippers of darkness with his relentless actions. Sharon, an exorcist, stares straight at someone and calls out the name of the demon possessing her body. Kim, who records all of this, also appears one after another, increasing the tension.
