The suspense thriller film 'Not_found' (directed by Yeom Ji-ho, produced by Dream Capture) has raised expectations with a review poster that captures the enthusiastic response from the media.
The released review poster draws attention with a chilling side profile of Shin Min-a, who plays Seo-jin, a woman gradually losing her sight. Her expression and atmosphere heighten the appeal of the suspense thriller genre, while the poster also features glowing reviews from major domestic media outlets, further fueling anticipation for the film.
The most notable response was the strong satisfaction with its genre appeal. Media outlets praised 'Not_found' for delivering "a well-made suspense film that will grip all five senses this summer" (Park Dong-seon, NewsCulture) and called it "a rare thriller that pushes forward to the very end" (Jo Myeong-hyeon, Digital Chosun Ilbo). As the story centers on a character gradually losing her sight while also facing pressure from outside forces, reactions such as "the fear of an unseen presence reimagined as an audiovisual experience" (Kim Bora, MaxMovie) and "primitive fear conveyed in full" (Kim Sung-hyun, YTN) followed. The clear standout in amplifying the genre’s entertainment value was Shin Min-a.
The media also poured out praise such as "Shin Min-a’s eyes do all the work! You can’t let your guard down until the end" (Yoon Ki-baek, Edaily), "Shin Min-a throws herself into the role and takes genre dopamine to the peak!" (Jo Ji-young, Sportschosun), and "Shin Min-a expresses invisible fear with every sense" (Lee Da-won, Sports Kyunghyang), heightening curiosity about her return as a thriller queen.
'Not_found' tells the story of a protagonist who is gradually losing her sight due to a hereditary disease and comes face to face with the truth while investigating suspicions surrounding the death of her twin sister. The film stars Shin Min-a, Kim Nam-hee, Lee Seung-ryong, and Kim Young-ah, with Yeom Ji-ho of 'The Neighbor' directing. It will be released on the 24th.
