A BRAND NEW NIGHTMARE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED SHOCKER, ‘R-POINT’
From Su-chang Kong, director of the critically acclaimed Korean shocker ‘R-Point’, comes THE GUARD POST (aka GP506), a similarly genre-bending foray into the cinema of fear that further cements his reputation as one of the most original filmmakers working in Asian cinema today.
Combining the claustrophobic atmospherics of ‘The Orphanage’ with the tense paranoia of ‘The Thing’, Kong’s latest is part murder-mystery, part horror story a terrifying tale of a group of soldiers caught up in a mysterious and haunting vortex of desperate alienation and homicidal madness.
Having already established himself as a horror director to watch with ‘R-Point’, Su-chang Kong ups the ante with THE GUARD POST, a gore-drenched chiller that brilliantly plays on the primal human fear of the unknown while cleverly applying the conventions of the classic investigative thriller genre to a full-on horror story with all the necessary trappings.
