🎬 The Mantis: Original Sin (2025) – A Haunting Descent into Vengeance and Mystery
By HL Review – 2025
Get ready for a chilling cinematic journey as The Mantis: Original Sin (2025) unveils its spine-tingling teaser, blending psychological thriller with gothic horror in a way rarely seen on screen. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Park Ji-won and starring Jang Dong-yoon and Go Hyun-jung, the film marks a bold step into the dark recesses of human guilt, revenge, and trauma.
Set in a decaying seaside town cloaked in fog and secrets, the story follows Detective Han Soo-hyun (Jang Dong-yoon), a troubled investigator sent to unravel the mysterious murders that mirror a long-forgotten case from his past. As the bodies begin to pile up, a name resurfaces: “The Mantis” – a cryptic figure tied to ritualistic killings and a buried truth no one dares speak aloud.
Go Hyun-jung delivers a haunting performance as Seo Yeon, a reclusive forensic psychologist with a tragic history and unsettling insight into the killer’s mind. As the two form a reluctant alliance, they must face not only the killer—but the sins that brought them here.
The teaser promises a moody, atmospheric experience filled with ominous lighting, slow-burning tension, and a pulse-pounding score. Fans of Se7en, The Wailing, and True Detective will feel right at home in this grim yet compelling descent into madness.
Slated for release in late 2025, The Mantis: Original Sin is poised to be one of the most anticipated Korean thrillers of the year, exploring how far people will go to bury the past—and what happens when it refuses to stay dead.
