Although this bears the same name as the secretive government agency from the Transformers films, this is its own creature, as it were. Much as Korea’s last well-known foray into creature films, The Host, proved hugely successful, so it is to be hoped this will fare too. It looks like fun and imaginative stuff, even if the synopsis is needed to have much of an idea of what is going on, aside from “there’s a creature somewhere that is eating people a lot”.
In “Sector 7”, an underwater oil field located south of Jeju Island, Hae-jun is working as a marine equipment manager on an oil prospecting ship called Eclipse. Joining the crew later is Jeong-man, a former colleague of Hae-jun’s father, assigned to Eclipse as captain. Though his job is to oversee the withdrawal of the ship, he suggests conducting some drilling one last time.
After 3 weeks of preparation, Hae-jun takes new recruit underwater, but he sinks to the bottom of the sea when the equipment fails. Shortly crew members begin to turn up dead, one by one, their bodies viciously mutilated.
What the few survivors soon discover is a transparent underwater creature they encountered once before. The viral monster infiltrated the ship through the drilling pipe and has been feeding on the crew to survive. Hae-jun and his colleagues’ frantic fight for their lives begins.
So, here’s the trailer for you to enjoy and I hope you will. Thanks to Twitch Film for this.
