Netflix’s Korean horror series Hellbound sees a cult condemn people to hell

From the filmmaker behind Train to Busan and Peninsula

The latest trailer for Netflix’s  South Korean thriller Hellbound, has officially dropped ahead of its premiere later this month. It comes from Train to Busan and Peninsula director Yeon Sang-ho, and tells the story of a religious cult brought about by mysterious creatures appearing on Earth.

“I would like to welcome you all to the new world,” reads the trailer description. “All hell breaks loose. Utter chaos ravages the world.”

The Korean horror show stars Yoo Ah-in, Kim Hyun-joo, and Park Jeong-min. In the trailer, the monsters descend upon Seoul on the day of the prophecy to drag their victims to hell.

“In the series, unearthly beings appear out of nowhere to condemn people to hell,” reads the show synopsis. “It doesn’t matter whether these events are a blessing or a curse: a new religious group is interpreting them all as the will of the divine. What unfolds through this predicament is an intense and highly-charged story about people who must survive under conditions of utter social chaos.”

Hellbound drops on Netflix November. Watch the trailer below.
