The film centers on an internet broadcasting crew also called “Killing Time,” which becomes popular by posting sensational content. Then tragedy strikes: one of its members dies during a live stream. Determined to stage a successful comeback, the crew heads to an abandoned hospital. There, a mysterious entity attacks them, and they’re forced into a desperate fight for survival against its merciless assault. It’s a story that questions how far creators will go for views, and what that pressure can cost.
Meet the Leads
Ryu Hye Young plays Yeon Woo, who fell from the spotlight in an instant after a team member’s death. She steps in front of the camera again in hopes of making a comeback, carrying both ambition and unresolved trauma. Nam Yoon Su plays Joo Won, the producer-director and leader of the “Killing Time” channel. He pushes everything to the limit for the sake of the content, which suggests his choices may be part of the problem. Together, the two are thrust into an unexpected life-or-death situation.
What the New Stills Show?
The stills set a tense mood. In the first, Yeon Woo and Joo Won look back warily in a dark space, their anxious expressions hinting at how dangerous their situation is. In the second, they appear even more tense, peering past a set of iron bars. The images raise the central question of the film: whether they can escape the unidentified entity at the abandoned hospital and finish what the story describes as a time-attack survival game.
Why It Could Work?
Found-footage-style horror and live streaming culture make a natural pair, since audiences already understand the pressure of chasing attention online. With two experienced actors and a confined, creepy setting, Killing Time has the ingredients for a tight, suspenseful watch.
While You Wait?
The film arrives in theaters in October. In the meantime, you can watch Ryu Hye Young in Law and The City and Nam Yoon Su in Love in the Big City, both on Viki. For more, browse our Korean movie updates and entertainment news on Technosports.
