Project Wolf Hunting

Kim Hongsun's Project Wolf Hunting forces cops and criminals onto a cargo ship that turns into a violent nightmare.

Project Wolf Hunting does not seem interested in being more than what it is: a violent genre film imbued with creativity and hellbent on being the bloodiest film in history. Those squeamish to blood be warned because every kill in Project Wolf Hunting – of which there are an innumerable amount – is punctuated by an unyielding spray of blood as Hongsun subscribes to the splatter film approach and ensures that no inch of space or actor caught on camera is without blood. More and more characters become attached to it that Project Wolf Hunting eventually just feels like it wants a sequel to exist more than to craft a cool genre exercise. There are so many moments where someone who is very clearly dead continues to be maimed and tortured until there is not a single drop of blood left in their body – and it is surprisingly always effective. Which reiterates the fact that Project Wolf Hunting has very little interest in doing more than it needs to just get through from one action beat to the next. Employing a kitchen sink approach to its horror and action setpieces, police and convicts are forced into conflict unaware of the terrifying secrets lying below the ship’s deck.
