Netflix has confirmed the release date for director Yeon Sang-ho‘s film ‘Revelation’.

The Netflix film ‘Revelation’ tells the story of a pastor who believes that punishing the culprit of a missing person’s case is a revelation from God, and a detective in charge of missing person‘s cases who is plagued by visions of his dead younger sibling, as they each pursue their own beliefs. Director Yeon Sang-ho and writer Choi Kyu-seok, who have always presented new stories while raising sharp topics about human instinct, have collaborated on the film ‘Revelation’, which attracted attention with the participation of maestro Alfonso Cuarón, who directed ‘Rome’ and ‘Gravity’, as an executive producer.

The main poster for ‘Revelation’ features Ryu Jun-yeol as ‘Seong Min-chan’, a pastor who witnessed God’s revelation, Shin Hyun-bin as ‘Lee Yeon-hee’, a detective who is haunted by hallucinations of her dead younger sibling, and Shin Min-jae as ‘Kwon Yang-rae’, an ex-convict suspected of being a suspect in a missing person‘s case, drawing attention. The sight of the three characters staring at different places in the rainy forest as if searching for something arouses curiosity about how their beliefs and choices as they pursue their own beliefs will collide and create the story. Here, the unidentifiable figure visible through the trees arouses curiosity and makes viewers look forward to the unpredictable story that will unfold in the movie.



The launch trailer for ‘Revelation’ that was released together catches the eye as it begins with a phone call that a middle school girl from the church where ‘Seong Min-chan’ is the pastor has gone missing. ‘Seong Min-chan’ receives a revelation that ‘Kwon Yang-rae’, an ex-convict who happened to visit the church, is the culprit of the disappearance case and begins to chase after him. Meanwhile, ‘Lee Yeon-hee’, a detective who has been suffering from hallucinations of her dead younger sibling, discovers suspicious circumstances involving ‘Seong Min-chan’ and ‘Kwon Yang-rae’ while investigating the disappearance case. ‘Lee Yeon-hee’ line, “They were waiting for me to save them” arouses curiosity about what happened to her younger sibling who made her feel guilty. The mad chase between the three people, along with the copy, “Madness begins with twisted belief”, creates tense tension and heightens expectations for ‘Revelation’. Director Yeon Sang-ho, who has always built his own worldview with new challenges, will present detailed psychological descriptions and fast-paced developments that will provide the fun of a complex genre that crosses over crime, mystery, and psychological thriller. In addition, the amazing acting transformation and strong character ensemble shown by Ryu Jun-yeol, Shin Hyun-bin, and Shin Min-jae will provide three-dimensional fun and immersion to viewers around the world.

Director Yeon Sang-ho’s film ‘Revelation’, which was completed through a solid story created through his work with writer Choi Kyu-seok, who followed ‘​Hellbound’, and collaboration with Alfonso Cuarón, who participated as an executive producer, will be released worldwide through Netflix on March 21 (Friday).
