South Korean Shocker Beasts Clawing at Straws Debuts this December 15th!

Beasts Clawing at Straws is a film from South Korea. Shot by first time feature film director Kim Yong-hoon, this title has released in a few countries, including: France and Taiwan. Now, this crime thriller is set to debut in the U.S. later this month, via Artsploitation Films. A preview of the film's launch, along with a few, short thoughts on the film are here.

The film's story centrally focuses on a big bag of Korean cash. Various drug lords, gangsters and cleaners vie for the money as more and more characters fall to the demon of greed.

Artsploitation Films will show Beasts Clawing at Straws this December 15th. This title will be available on DVD and Blu-ray. The runtime for this title is 108 minutes and is offered in Korean, with English subtitles (2:39:1).

From a recent viewing, Yong-hoon's first film is a strong one. Based on a novel by Keisuke Sone, this thriller runs the gamut: from the criminal underworld to darks streets and back alleys. Consistently tense, Beasts Clawing at Straws also incorporates a moral tale, one involving the love of money over all else. This is a remarkable film and hopefully, it will receive a welcoming audience in North America.

Director: Kim Yong-hoon.

Screenwriter: Kim Yong-hoon.

Cast: Jeon Do-yeon, Jung Woo-sung, Bae Sung-woo , Yun Yuh-jung, Jung Man-sik, Jin Gyeong, Shin Hyun-been.
