Actor Ma Dong-seok explains the balance of genre and humor in the film ‘Demon Hunters’.

‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’, which opens on the 30th, is an occult action movie that depicts the story of a city thrown into chaos by an evil-worshiping group, and the ‘Holy Night’ team, a group of dark solvers with special abilities, punishing the evil group.

At the press conference and distribution preview held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 21st, Ma Dong-seok said about this film, which displays unique humor despite being a dark occult genre, “Each person in the dark hero genre has their own story and it is a dark story, but the ‘Holy Night’ team is a team that has a cheerful side within its worldview, so we wanted to make use of that aspect and create timing for a break in the middle of the film.If it was just an occult film, it would have been difficult to make that, but it was possible because it is a genre that mixes dark hero and occult.”

And about David Lee, with whom I had the most humorous chemistry, he said, “He’s still young, but he’s very experienced and a great actor.David Lee’s specialty is that he catches both curveballs and fastballs,” and added, “That’s why it was easy to act, and our chemistry was really good when it came to humor.There were many times when we didn’t rehearse, but our chemistry was just as good as it was in the script.”
