Korean 3D monster mash ‘Sector 7′ gets a subtitled trailer!
Lately South Korea has been producing a surprising amount of what could be called summer popcorn flicks. This one, Sector 7, has been making headlines because it’s being marketed as the first big 3D Korean film. Woo-hoo! You’ve taken America’s worst movie-going gimmick and ported over seas!
That being said, Sector 7 looks like a good bit of creature-feature fun, following the tried-and-true B-movie tradition of giant, spiky monster parasites terrorizing workers on an oil rig. Based on this English-dubbed, spoiler-heavy trailer, it looks to beat out it’s predecessors in the field; Intruder Within, Leviathan, Proteus, Deep-Star Six, and the recent (and pathetic) The Rig.
You also gotta love how unsubtle the trailer is in name-dropping. There’s a title card that reads ’A new Host has arrived’ and one can only assume it’s a reference to the 2006 monster movie ‘Goemul’ or ‘The Host’ as it was known on U.S. shores.
