‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’ Ma Dong-seok revealed his honest thoughts on the film’s box office success.

On the morning of the 24th, Ma Dong-seok, the star of the movie ‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Holy Night’), met with Donga.com for an interview and talked about the movie.

On this day, when asked about his expectations for the release of “The Outlaws” in the spring, when “The Outlaws” surpassed 10 million moviegoers, Ma Dong-seok said, “I was waiting for the release date to be decided by the investment and distribution company.I heard that it will be released in the spring this time as well.” The Outlaws “was released for about 3 years, and now it’s being released in the spring with a different genre.I’m curious to see how people will perceive the different genre.”



Ma Dong-seok, who also participated in the production and planning of ‘Holy Night’, explained the intention behind the planning of this film, saying, “This time, I didn’t make it because I had a new interest in the occult.I had a period of working on the scenario before the first ‘The Outlaws’ came out, and after encountering a story based on reality, I wanted to try making something with fantasy or cinematic imagination.I was also interested in horror and occult films.I think I thought that dark heroes can be made with a small budget, while Hollywood makes them with big budgets.”

Regarding his role in this film, Ma Dong-seok said, “When designing the story, I thought it would depend on the worldview design.In fact, I thought the basic framework of this film was mainly about the role played by actress Jung Ji-so, who was possessed by the devil, and the fight between Sharon.I made it with the concept of dealing with people who appeared on the side and interfered with these people around her.This film focused on actress Seo Hyun and actress Jung Ji-so, even though actress Seo Hyun did a great job.They came to the forefront because their names were known, but the worldview was centered around those two.”



When asked about the box office expectations for this ‘Holy Night’, Ma Dong-seok said, “There were other movies in between ‘The Outlaws’.Luckily, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th movies had over 10 million, but even now, it’s an unbelievable score.I really don’t know if that will happen again, and I don’t think it will.There aren’t many people in the theaters right now, so the wish of all producers these days is to break even and move on to the next project.I hope we break even.If we do, I think we’ll be able to prepare other projects and genres,” drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘Holy Night’ is an occult action movie about a city in chaos caused by an evil-worshiping group, and the dark solvers ‘Holy Night’ Team Bau(played by Ma Dong-seok), Sharon(played by Seo Hyun), and Kim Gun(played by David Lee)with special abilities, who punish the evil group.It will be released on the 30th.

Ma Dong-seok will be shown off his powerful exorcism action by taking on the role of ‘Bau’, who has been granted special powers and is equipped with even more overwhelming power, and even subdues the demon with his fists.
