Detective K: Secret of the Living Dead

ActionAdventureComedyCrimeDocumentaryMystery120 min

After a string of murders on Kanghwa Island, Detective K and his longtime partner are called in to investigate what first seems like an ordinary case until every victim turns up with vampire bite marks. Kim Myung-min is the sharp-tongued sleuth, with Oh Dal-su at his side as the partner dragged into each new twist. Their search leads them to a woman with amnesia, and Kim Ji-won’s mysterious stranger may be tied to the deaths themselves. What starts as a murder inquiry opens into a period mystery where folk horror, disguises, and K’s unruly methods keep colliding.
