Movie "Salmokji" has confirmed its release on Apr. 8, 2026 (Wed) and released a first teaser that offers a glimpse of the nature of the horror.
In Salmokji road view, an unidentified figure is captured, and the film crew that heads to the reservoir for reshoots encounters something in the black, deep water, and the horror film "Salmokji" has confirmed its release on Apr. 8, 2026 (Wed), drawing intense attention.
Movie "Salmokji" (director Lee Sang-min, distributed by SHOWBOX, produced by The Lamp Co.) vividly depicts the terror faced by seven members of a film crew who enter Salmokji after an unfilmed shape is captured on the road view screen and an entity in the black, deep water reveals itself on the surface. As Lee Sang-min's first solo feature direction, after shaping his own style in the horror genre with short films "Ham Jin-abi," "Dollimchong," and "The app that calls ghosts: Young," which is scheduled for theatrical release in February, the film stimulates curiosity about the realistic terror a horror enthusiast would portray.
The released first teaser vividly captures the escalating horror that sweeps over the seven companions. The teaser begins with OnRoadMedia producer Su-in (Kim Hyeyoon) with a terrified expression saying, "It's Salmokji," and continues with Se-jung (Jang Daah), who runs a horror exploration channel, saying, "I've heard that place has long been famous as a place where you can meet dead people," which begins to give off a gloomy atmosphere. Peace is brief: unknown voices leak from the ghost box, and in the forest the sound of stones colliding reverberates.
Then the tension rises as Kyung-tae (Kim Youngseong) is dragged away by an unidentified entity that strikes like a surprise attack, Kyung-jun (Oh Dongmin) runs toward the reservoir, Seong-bin (Yoon Jaechan) looks on in terror at Kyo-sik (Kim Jun Han), who is stacking stone towers, and Ki-tae (Lee Jongwon), who followed Su-in into Salmokji, falls into swamp-like terror. As they run to escape but circle in place like a broken navigation system, the teaser for "Salmokji" ends with a portentous voice saying, "You can't come out alive from there," conveying an inescapable absolute horror.
Meanwhile, "Salmokji" has confirmed screenings in special technical theaters such as CGV SCREENX and 4DX, promising a more vivid immersive horror. In addition to regular theaters, SCREENX, which expands the field of view to the sides, 4DX, which adds motion seats and environmental effects, and combined auditoriums that merge the two formats will draw audiences into the heart of the horror with various screening methods and offer an extreme experience.
The film "Salmokji," which will dye theaters with an indescribable, irresistible, inescapable horror, opens on Apr. 8, 2026.
