Killing Time: A 60-Minute Livestream Turns Deadly in Korea’s Newest Abandoned-Hospital Thriller

Going live from an abandoned hospital sounds like a great content idea, until something is watching back.

The film has officially confirmed its release date alongside a new poster and teasers, and it arrives in theatres on October 21.

Killing Time: Film Overview

What Is the Story About?

Killing Time follows an internet broadcasting crew of the same name, a group that gains popularity with sensational content. Their rise ends in tragedy when one member dies during a live stream. Yeon Woo, played by Ryu Hye Young, is a streamer who had been on hiatus after quitting broadcasting. She returns for a new shoot at an abandoned hospital at the suggestion of Joo Won, played by Nam Yoon Su.

As filming begins, an unidentified entity threatens the crew. With nowhere to retreat, they’re forced to run for their lives. It’s a modern horror setup, since the very tools meant to capture their content now trap them in a nightmare.

What the Poster and Trailer Reveal?

The newly released main poster shows Yeon Woo and Joo Won as seen through the screens of numerous smartphones, a clever nod to the film’s livestream theme. It suggests that nothing in this story goes unseen, which makes the danger feel even more exposed.

The main trailer opens with a crew member in danger while filming inside the hospital. A 60-minute time limit appears on a monitor, adding a ticking-clock tension. Unidentified figures with their faces obscured emerge to threaten the crew, while Yeon Woo’s desperate cry that a lunatic is killing people raises the stakes. Joo Won is shown struggling to survive amid unpredictable danger, and the trailer leaves plenty of mystery about what the entity actually is.

Why It Could Be a Standout?

Livestream horror feels fresh and relatable, since many viewers understand the pressure to chase attention online. Add a real-time countdown and an unknown threat, and you get a thriller built for edge-of-your-seat viewing. The leads are also worth watching: Ryu Hye-young is known for strong, versatile performances, and you can catch her in Law and the City and Nam Yoon Su in Love in the Big City on Viki while you wait.
