EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: Squid Game Star Anupam Tripathi is leading Korean omnibus film App The Horror, which is currently in post-production.<\/p>\n The film was recently on sale at the American Film Market with Hong Kong-based outfit Autumn Sun handling in Asia and Russia and Anthology21 handling rest of the world.<\/p>\n More from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n Hyung Seul-woo, writer-director of Someone\u00a0You Loved (2023), is producing the Korean-language film, which is directed by eight emerging Korean filmmakers. The feature is presented by Korea\u2019s newly launched company Anthology21, founded by industry veterans Jin Lee and Jennie Moon.<\/p>\n Each segment of the film is \u201clinked by a mysterious app that turns digital fear into real-world horror\u201d. The film is scheduled for a wide theatrical release in South Korea in February 2026. Also starring is Lim Ye-eun (You and Everything Else).<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since we\u2019ve seen a bold and original Asian omnibus horror,\u201d said Elliot Tong, Head of Sales and Acquisitions for Autumn Sun, which presented early footage to Asian buyers at AFM.<\/p>\n \u201cHorror remains a consistently strong genre in Asia, even as the 2025 theatrical market faces pressure from streaming platforms and the rise of vertical short-form content. What makes this project especially invigorating is that it\u2019s set against something so ubiquitous and so woven into daily life as the apps we all use.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to introduce a Korean horror film built on such a clear and distinctive concept, especially one that speaks directly to the MZ generation,\u201d added Jin Lee of Anthology21. \u201cThe film turns today\u2019s digital habits into raw, immediate fear, and that tension intensifies even further on the big screen. It\u2019s a fresh, contemporary horror experience meant to be truly felt in theaters.\u201d<\/p>\n On the sales front at AFM, Autumn Sun concluded deals for Chinese animation Bear Kids to Super Hero for Russia\/CIS (Kinologistica), Taiwan (Moviecloud), and Colombia (Trompetero Producciones \/ Dragon Fruit) for producer Beijing Dream Planting Film Company. The same producer also brought the new sequel to their dinosaur animated feature, I Am T-Rex 2 to the China Film Pavilion at the market. The original film was acquired by Well Go USA for North America, and the sequel was also picked up by Well Go USA during Cannes this year.<\/p>\n Autumn Sun continued sales on Happy Little Submarine: Adventure Island, the 11th installment of the popular Chinese franchise, with recent sales to Turkey (Alfa Fortuna) and Russia\/CIS (Kinologistica). \u201cChina produces animated features across a wide range of budgets,\u201d added Elliot Tong. \u201cWhile groundbreaking top titles such as Nezha 2 continue to enjoy a global market, we\u2019re encouraged to see that smaller-scale titles featuring non-culturally-specific characters are also finding strong opportunities outside Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Deadline’s Newsletter<\/a>.
