Ma Dong-seok, who has subdued everything from the pouring zombie hordes to ruthless criminals with just one punch, returns with a devil-catching exorcism fist in 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' (screenplay director Lim Dae-hee, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Big Punch Pictures and Nova Film).
The start of 'punch action' that only Ma Dong-seok can accomplish is 'Train to Busan.' In the film, Ma Dong-seok charges head-on into the zombies that relentlessly attack to save his wife and the survivors while portraying 'Yoon Sang-hwa.' His formidable bare-knuckle power that can take down a zombie in one blow left a strong impression on many viewers.
In the 'Crime City' series that followed, he raised the intensity of the action as he faced increasingly powerful criminals. Playing the justice-driven detective 'Ma Seok-do,' he showcased a refreshing impact by slapping down criminals with his palm in the first installment, and as the series progressed, he varied the heavy action based on boxing, achieving the record of surpassing 10 million viewers in three consecutive films.
After dominating both the zombie hordes and ruthless criminals, Ma Dong-seok will make a cool comeback to theaters this spring with 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters.' 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' is an occult action film about a city thrown into chaos by a group that worships evil, featuring the darkness-solving team 'Holy Night' made up of characters Bau (Ma Dong-seok), Sharon (Seo-hyun), and Kim-gun (Lee Dawit), who all possess special abilities, as they combat the forces of evil. Portraying 'Bau,' Ma Dong-seok will showcase powerful exorcism action, subduing demons with his fists, empowered by special strength.
'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' promises to deliver enjoyable viewing experiences with powerful yet speedy action against demons and their worshippers filling the screen. Expressing confidence that "the audience will witness refreshing action," Ma Dong-seok noted, "The action with those who possess the power of the devil can certainly give a different feeling. The difference in action scale, along with the fantasy elements, offers new visual appeal," heightening expectations for how Ma Dong-seok's unique action, combined with the occult, will provide freshness and excitement.
Returning with an occult action that showcases Ma Dong-seok beating down not only the most vicious criminals and zombie hordes but also demons with his exorcism fist, 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' will be released in theaters on April 30.
