Get ready for a suffocating fight for survival as Kim Hye Yoon and Lee Jong Won face off against supernatural forces in the upcoming horror thriller, Salmokji: Whispering Water.
On March 3, the production team unveiled a series of chilling press stills that set the tone for the film, directed by Lee Sang Min. The photos capture the palpable tension surrounding Su In (played by Kim Hye Yoon) and her filming crew as they venture into the ominous Salmokji Reservoir.
The film’s premise is pure nightmare fuel. After spotting a suspicious figure in road-view footage filmed by Kyung Tae (Kim Young Sung), the crew returns to the reservoir to investigate and reshoot. However, things quickly take a dark turn.
The new stills highlight the group’s descent into panic. Kim Jun Han plays Gyo Sik, a senior colleague who goes missing only to reappear with a disturbingly distorted demeanor, raising immediate red flags. Meanwhile, Su In is pictured looking confused and terrified after a mysterious phone call, while crew members Kyung Joon (Oh Dong Min) and Sung Bin (Yoon Jae Chan) are frozen in shock, clutching their flashlights in the dark.
Adding to the horror, Se Jung (Jang Da Ah) is shown paralyzed with fear while checking a motion detector meant to sense spirits. At the same time, Ki Tae (Lee Jong Won) uncovers a dark secret about the reservoir from a local elder.
The film promises a claustrophobic climax where the crew finds themselves trapped, walking in circles and being inexplicably drawn toward the water by an unseen force. Salmokji: Whispering Water is set to bring its watery terror to theaters on April 8.
