"The Journey to Gyeongju" is wrapped in the outer shell of a family revenge story set by four mother-daughter pairs in Gyeongju.

However, it is the feature debut of a rookie director, blending elements of drama, thriller, and comedy.

The plot follows four mother-daughter pairs who set out to exact revenge after finding the perpetrator who harmed the youngest daughter on a school trip, following his release from prison eight years later.

[Lee Jung-eun / Actor: I think the audience will feel the sense of loss, grief, and other emotions deeply rooted in this bizarre journey through their everyday lives, perhaps even more profoundly.]

Veteran actors like Lee Jung-eun, Kong Hyo-jin, and Park So-dam portray a bickering, realistic mother-daughter dynamic.

[Kong Hyo-jin / Actor: Along with thoughts of, 'Do these kinds of things really happen when you go on a real family trip?', an immense and terrifying story unfolds alongside it. So viewers won't feel like it's someone else's story; it feels so realistic.]

[The Last Day on Oak Street / Director: David Robert Mitchell / Starring: Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor]

"The Last Day on Oak Street" is a dinosaur movie starring Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway.

One night, a time-travel phenomenon suddenly strikes the village of Oak Street, plunging the residents right into the middle of the age of dinosaurs.

Cut off by sheer cliffs with nowhere to go, dinosaurs begin a man-hunting spree, and a desperate struggle of a family unfolds as they try to escape.

Hollywood's representative blockbuster producer J.J. Abrams participated in production.

"The Dog Stars" is a post-apocalyptic film depicting a survival struggle among the survivors of a pandemic-ravaged near future, based on the bestselling novel of the same name and directed by master filmmaker Ridley Scott, who remains active in his late 80s.

[Spirits' Homecoming: Unni, Let's Go Home / Director: Cho Jung-rae / Starring: Kang Hana, Choerry, Son Sook]

"Spirits' Homecoming," the first commercial film about the victims of Japan's wartime sexual slavery that sparked widespread resonance 10 years ago, is being re-released as an extended version.

Six minutes of stories featuring Chinese victims have been added.

The re-release holds even deeper meaning as Kang Il-chul, a victim of wartime sexual slavery who served as the motif for the film, passed away last March.

The number of surviving victims has dropped from 47 a decade ago to just 5 today.
