Who needs an exorcism when you can just punch evil in the face?

Capelight Pictures has announced a May 2 release date only in theaters for the South Korean horror/action film HOLY NIGHT: DEMON HUNTERS. Written and directed by Lim Dae-Hee from a story by Korean action sensation Don Lee (the ROUNDUP movies), who also produced with Choi Wonki, it stars Lee along with Seohyun, David Lee, Kyung Soo-Jin and Jung Zi-so. The synopsis:Seoul descends into chaos as a devil-worshipping criminal network emerges. In a desperate plea for salvation, the police turn to ‘Holy Night’—a secretive trio of demon hunters armed with supernatural powers. Don Lee [Ma Dong-Seok] leads as Ba Woo, a powerhouse with immense physical strength. He’s joined by Sharon [Seohyun], who can detect and exorcise demons, and Kim-kun [David Lee], their loyal support. When psychiatrist Jung-Won [Kyung] begs for help to save her possessed sister Eun-Seo [Jung], the team faces a terrifying force unlike any they’ve seen before.”
