Every spring, Ma Dong-seok, who has swept the screens and revitalized theaters, has once again hinted at dominating the screen this year with "Holy Night: Demon Hunters" (provided/distributed by Lotte Entertainment | produced by Big Punch Pictures, Nova Film | written/directed by Lee Dae-hee).
"Holy Night: Demon Hunters" is an occult action film where the team ‘Holy Night,’ consisting of dark troubleshooters Bau (Ma Dong-seok), Sharon (Seo Hyun), and Kim Gun (Lee Dawit), punishes the forces of evil in a city thrown into chaos by a group that worships evil.
The hero of the spring theater, Ma Dong-seok, returns once again this year. Ma Dong-seok achieved triple ten million with "The Outlaws 2" (12.69 million), "The Outlaws 3" (10.69 million), and "The Outlaws 4" (11.50 million) from May 2022 to April 2024, bursting with strong box office potential each spring. He has set a historic record as the first actor with six ten million films, three of which were achieved in the spring theater, injecting significant vitality into the traditional off-season spring theater as he received the spotlight. This time, Ma Dong-seok is challenging the occult action genre.
In the film "Holy Night: Demon Hunters," which is gaining attention as Ma Dong-seok's first occult action film, he plays the role of Bau, who hunts demons with rock-like strength and fists. This character possesses unique abilities not seen in Ma Dong-seok's previous works, infinitely stimulating audience interest. Attention is focused on how Ma Dong-seok, the icon of punch action who has been unmatched, will sweep away the forces of evil with even stronger and more ruthless punches.
Bau is a character with a unique backstory behind his relentless strength, and Ma Dong-seok has successfully built up the character of Bau by freely switching between action performance and emotional acting. Director Lee Dae-hee praised that Ma Dong-seok perfectly embodies a "character who is both an action icon and a leader, while also having wounds." The film industry is eager to see if Ma Dong-seok, as the powerful, strong, and intriguing character Bau, can save the theaters this spring by defeating demons.
The film "Holy Night: Demon Hunters," which allows audiences to witness Ma Dong-seok's explosive presence in his first occult action challenge, will be released in theaters on the 30th.
