‘The cruellest hunt’
The Human Trap is a 2021 South Korean horror thriller about a group of young friends from the city who go on a camping getaway. What starts as a fun-in-the-woods adventure soon turns into a bloody nightmare as a madman and eventually his suave henchman stalks them like prey. Will they survive?
The movie is yet another take on The Most Dangerous Game – click this link for many, many different versions – in which humans are hunted.
Written and directed by Lee Moon-young making his feature directorial debut. The Chung Woo Film production stars Kim Dong-ho, Byeol Kang and Park Yeon-woo.
