[adrotate banner=”1″]Sector 7 is an upcoming Korean monster movie about workers trapped on an oil rig as creatures rampage. It’s like Alien, except not in space. It does have a female lead, the always lovely Ha Ji-won, who is reason enough along to watch the flick. Before becoming one of the best actresses in Korea, she cut her teeth on horror films such as Nightmare and Phone (at one time she was considered a horror queen.) Ha Ji-won also starred in Sex is Zero, Love So Divine, and Duelist. Sector 7 also stars Ahn Seong-gi (Nowhere to Hide, Duelist, Arahan, and Musa).

Official plot synopsis:

In Sector 7, an underwater oil field located south of Jeju Island, Hae-jun is working as a marine equipment manager on an oil prospecting ship called Eclipse. Joining the crew later is Jeong-man, a former colleague of Hae-jun’s father, assigned to Eclipse as captain. Though his job is to oversee the withdrawal of the ship, he suggests conducting some drilling one last time. After 3 weeks of preparation, Hae-jun takes new recruit underwater, but he sinks to the bottom of the sea when his equipment fails. Shortly after crew members begin to turn up dead, one by one, their bodies viciously mutilated. What the few survivors soon discover is a transparent underwater creature they encountered once before. The viral monster infiltrated the ship through the drilling pipe and has been feeding on the crew to survive. For Hae-jun and his colleagues, a fight for their lives begins.
