‘Revelations’ First Look Images Introduce New Netflix Thriller from ‘Train to Busan’ Filmmaker

Netflix has unveiled its upcoming International slate this morning, which includes Revelations, a new thriller from Train to Busan filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho. First-look images introduce the thriller and its central characters.

Revelations will debut on Netflix in 2025.

The crime thriller with a supernatural twist follows “a pastor and a detective, each driven by their own beliefs. The pastor believes it’s his divine calling to punish the culprit behind a missing-person case, while the detective assigned to the case continues to be haunted by visions of her dead sister.”

Ryu Jun-yeol and Shin Hyeon-bin star.

Netflix previously gave a bit more insight into the characters, “Ryu Jun-yeol portrays Min-chan, a pastor who runs a church in a small provincial town with a mission for church planting. When a man named Yang-rae visits his church, Min-chan receives a divine revelation identifying him as the culprit who abducted his son, and he sets forth to pursue justice. Alternating between sincere faith and cruel reality, Min-chan becomes consumed by his quest for retribution.

“Ryu Jun-yeol is poised to deliver another breathtaking portrayal of a man driven to madness by unwavering belief. Shin Hyun-been plays detective Yeon-hee, who is on the trail of Yang-rae, a suspect in the missing-person case, as well as the suspicious pastor Min-chan. Yeon-hee is constantly haunted by visions of her sister, who died due to a heinous crime. Despite her personal struggles, Yeon-hee doggedly pursues the culprit, adding tension to the narrative.”

Yeon Sang-ho and Choi Gyu-seok co-wrote the script, adapting their 2022 comic book of the same name. The pair previously collaborated on both seasons of the Netflix series “Hellbound.” As if that’s not intriguing enough, Revelations is executive produced by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma).

“Alfonso Cuarón, known for masterpieces like Children of Men and Gravity, has greatly influenced my work as a director,” Yeon previously told Netflix. “I am thrilled at this opportunity to collaborate with him on shaping Revelations, and I have high expectations for our partnership.”

The thriller is produced by WOW POINT, a global content production company actively producing original local content in Korea, the United States, and Japan. WOW POINT and Netflix previously teamed up for the body horror series “Parasyte: The Grey,” a manga adaptation also helmed by Yeon-Sang-ho.
