Alienoid

Alienoid (2022) deftly merges historical fantasy with sci-fi by juxtaposing Goryeo dynasty mystics seeking a sacred sword with contemporary humans pursuing an extraterrestrial stowed away in a host body. A temporal anomaly bridges their worlds, weaving a narrative that explores the echoes of the past in the present. Director Kim Byung-woo's film eschews overt exposition for a sleek, atmospheric blend of myth and modernity, where ancient rituals and cutting-edge technology converge in a pursuit that transcends epochs.
