A group of Korean criminals are being boarded from Manila to South Korea onto the Frontier Titan, a 58,000-ton cargo ship. A total of 19 male and female inmates, including former Red Notice fugitives Do-il and Jong-du, shuffle their shackled feet onto the ship to make the three-day trip to Korea. Accompanying them on board are Korean police captain Suk-woo and 22 other hardened detectives, each with at least 10 years of experience investigating violent crimes. Meanwhile in Incheon, Dae-woong, the captain of the Coast Guard Special Rescue Unit, sets up a situation room to remotely oversee the transportation of prisoners. The name of the mission: Project Wolf Hunting. Gu-tae, who had snuck onto the ship by disguising himself as a deckhand, frees Jong-du and his men, who then proceed to viciously slaughter the cops with weapons they had smuggled on board. Freed by Jong-du, other prisoners soon emerge from the cabins one by one, shedding their cuffs and shackles. Meanwhile in a hidden room below, something sinister also breaks free from its fetters and rises from the darkness...

Declaration
film director
“Project Wolf Hunting is a hard-boiled horror action film which is about ongoing events when an unidentified monster appears while prisoners trying to hijack a criminal convoy heading to Korea and confronting detectives who struggle to deter the conspiracy. The SF horror films of the past, like Ridley Scott’s Alien, usually focused on one person being attacked by an unknown alien and fighting desperately to survive in a small space. On the contrary, Project Wolf Hunting differs greatly from its predecessors, and brings dramatic suspense through a reality-based narrative that took place in 2017 when the Philippine-South Korean Criminal Exchange went on. The film blows vibrant and chill experience respectively through intense and ruthless violence unleashed within the limited space of a freighter in the South Pacific. In that way the film provides a completely immersive and fresh experience to the audience.”
