Hope15

Directed by Na Hong-jin | South Korea | 2026 | 2h 37m | Korean w/ English subtitles | Starring Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Hoyeon, Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander

In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community. With reinforcements diverted to wildfires and all communication cut off, it’s down to a band of hunters, hapless police and terrified locals to identify the beast and bring it down. Na Hong-jin, the cult director of The Wailing, delivers a thrilling and unpredictable sci-fi action-adventure creature-feature.

Reviews

‘The jaw-dropping scale of it all puts most blockbusters to shame.’
★★★★★
Iana Murray, Little White Lies

‘One of the most expensive Korean films ever made, it races from modern-day western to action thriller to horror film to science-fiction epic – all while retaining the full-throttle energy and sweaty cult-movie atmosphere of a 1970s exploitation flick.’
★★★★
Nicholas Barber, BBC

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
