Directed by Sang-Ho Yeon (Last Train to Busan), Revelations is a gripping Korean thriller where faith and justice become dangerously intertwined. Available from March 21, 2025 on Netflix, the film follows a pastor obsessed with divine vengeance and a detective haunted by her past, engaged in a breathless hunt.

Starring Ryu Jun-yeol(The Night Owl) and Shin Hyun-been(Reborn Rich), Revelations promises to be a dark and intensepsychological thriller, rooted in the tradition of Korean films where justice and morality clash in a hellish spiral.

The story follows a pastor who is convinced that he has identified the culprit behind his son's kidnapping through divine revelation. Driven by his devouring faith and desire for vengeance, he decides to take justice into his own hands.

At the same time, a detective, haunted by the tragic death of her sister, is investigating the case. As she tracks down the pastor's suspect, she begins to question the veracity of this so-called divine revelation... and the priest's true motives.

Between spiritual quest, personal justice and elusive truth, Revelations explores the limits of faith and free will, in a thriller where each character must confront his or her own demons.

Revelations will be available on Netflix from March 21, 2025.

Synopsis: When the pastor of a small provincial church believes he has identified the culprit behind his son's kidnapping thanks to a divine revelation, he decides to do everything in his power to obtain justice. Consumed by his desire for revenge, he plunges into a dangerous spiral. Meanwhile, a detective, haunted by visions of her murdered sister, investigates the case and begins to doubt the veracity of the pastor's accusations. Between faith, obsession and justice, their destinies intertwine in a breathless hunt.

Revelations will appeal to fans of dark psychological thrillers akin to Memories of Murder, I Met the Devil or The Chaser. Korean cinema is renowned for its nuanced approach to good and evil, and this film seems to play on moral dilemmas, personal justice and the limits of faith.

The film's originality lies in the opposition between belief and rational investigation. While the pastor is guided by an unshakeable faith in his divine vision, the detective embodies doubt and logic, seeking to untangle reality from illusions.

On the other hand, the dark tone and themes of revenge and religious fanaticism may not suit audiences sensitive to violent and psychologically challenging stories.

With its heavy atmosphere, captivating psychological plot and first-rate casting, Revelationspromises to be an intense, disturbing thriller at the crossroads of faith and justice. Further proof of Korea's expertise in suspense and moral drama.
