You have probably scrolled past a livestream and wondered, just for a second, what would happen if something went wrong on camera. Killing Time builds a whole horror film on that thought.
The upcoming Korean thriller, starring Ryu Hye Young and Nam Yoon Su, has released two new posters designed to look like screenshots from a live broadcast. They are unsettling in the best way, and the film arrives in theaters on October 21. Here is what we know.

The Story: Chasing Views Into Danger
The film follows an internet broadcasting crew that shares its name with the title, “Killing Time.” They gain popularity by posting sensational content, until a tragedy strikes: one of their members dies during a live stream.
Determined to make a comeback, the crew heads to an abandoned hospital. There, they are attacked by a mysterious entity and forced into a desperate fight for survival against its merciless assault.
It is a modern horror setup that plays on internet culture, where the pressure to stay popular can push people into risky choices. For background on the format at the centre of the story, read about livestreaming.
The “LIVE CAM” Posters
The two new posters are designed to look like screenshots from a real internet livestream. Both are set inside a dark, abandoned hospital, and each shows an unidentified figure approaching the person holding the camera.
| Poster | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| First poster | A figure approaches the camera in the dark hospital |
| Second poster | The figure looms dangerously close, holding a knife-like object |
A tagline asks whether you will enter the “Killing” live stream. It is a neat bit of audience-baiting, inviting viewers to step into the crew’s shoes.

Why the Poster Design Works?
The Viewer Becomes the Camera
By mimicking a livestream screenshot, the posters put you in the position of the person filming. That creates an instant sense of being watched, and of being the one in danger.
A Slow, Looming Threat
Nothing is explained. The figure is unidentified, and the second poster simply brings it closer. That restraint leaves the imagination to fill the gaps, which is often where horror works best.
