‘Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning,’ Korean Animated Horror Film, Joins Finecut EFM Slate


‘Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning,’ a Korean animated horror film, joins the slate of sales agent Finecut and will reveal first footage at the EFM.

The picture is derived from a novel and webtoon that are among the most successful in Korean history, about four individuals bestowed with special powers rooted in religion, the supernatural, and legend. The film’s narrative is an origin story and recounts the first adventure of the foursome – an excommunicated priest, a young woman with telekinesis, a man who lost his sister to a malevolent spirit, and a child prodigy skilled in arcane magic. “This adaptation emphasizes the mise-en-scène of the mysterious and suspenseful atmosphere constructing a unique world where superheroes intermingle with occult elements,” a company spokesman said.
