[HanCinema's News] "Devils Stay" Sets Record for Official South Korean Horror Film Releases in International Markets
By William Schwartz | Published on
In 2018, the social media themed horror film "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum" was sold to 47 different international markets at the time of its release, a record for the genre. It lost this record for a South Korean horror film when "The Medium" in 2021 was sold to 50 different international markets, although whether a film cast and crewed largely by Thai people can truly be called a South Korean film is a separate question. In any case, "Devils Stay" has broken that record against, releasing in 54 markets.
