Parasite producer, CJ Entertainment, has recently picked up the horror thriller Hide and Seek rights for North America, UK, and Ireland. Directed by Joe David Moore, the movie is a remake of a 2013 Korean movie of the same name by Huh Jung.
What Hide and Seek was about
The Korean version of the film was critically acclaimed, with a Chinese adaptation releasing later as well. A low-profile movie, Hide and Seek’s Korean version was a very unexpected hit at the box office at the time of release, considering it was a low-budget movie with no high profile stars in the team. Although Huh Jung’s first time in the director’s chair, the movie does not hold back. It is about a woman who is being stalked by a person in a biker’s outfit. When she enters her apartment and checks the video footage, she sees the stranger enter her and murder her inside her apartment.

Why the film stands out in today’s day and age
The movie follows the population in urban areas ballooning and consequently driving out society’s lower income strata with the ever increasing real estate rates. Hide and Seek explores the uprising of the minorities as they take matters into their own hands in what ends up as a movie that can be called a social commentary. The cast includes Rhys Meyers, Jacinda Barrett, Joe Pantoliano, and Mustafa Shakir. The producers are Joe David Moore and Yeony Choi, with Miky Lee, Jinnie Choi, and Jerry Kyoungboum Ko executive.
