Monstrous: Goo Kyo Hwan and Shin Hyun Been look terrifying in new posters of Yeon Sang Ho helmed horror drama

South Korea’s upcoming horror drama Monstrous released new intriguing posters on Monday, March 7, featuring the two main actors of the drama, Shin Hyun Been and Goo Kyo Hwan in rather horrifying looks.

Co-written by the legendary South Korean director Yeon Sang Ho, who directed critically acclaimed films Train to Busan and Peninsula, Monstrous will focus on archaeologists who chase the inhumane, dangerous cases that are too monstrous to be true. The story will focus on a village overcome with disaster after the discovery of a mysterious possessed statue of the Buddha.

In the teaser posters, the close-up shots show our actors glass-eyed reflecting the Buddha statue in one eye and the other covered by a black cloth with mysterious faded letters written on it in an unknown language. The posters mention that the characters are possessed with ‘bizzare powers’ as the words on the sides of the posters read, “Those who see the eyes will be trapped in hell,” leaving a frightening impression.
