In a dazzling blend of K-pop flair and supernatural action, the new film Huntrix delivers a high-octane story of music, demon-hunting, and self-discovery. Directed by visionary filmmaker [Director’s Name], the movie introduces audiences to Huntrix, a K-pop trio who double as demon-slaying warriors known as the Hunters. With a stellar cast, infectious music, and breathtaking fight choreography, Huntrix is poised to captivate fans of both pop culture and fantasy epics.
The film opens with the ancient legend of the Hunters, a trio of women who use the power of their voices to combat demons sent by the malevolent demon king Gwi-Ma (Byung-hun Lee). For centuries, the Hunters have created the Honmoon, a protective shield safeguarding humanity from demonic forces. Led by their mentor Celine (Yunjin Kim), the Hunters aim to forge the Golden Honmoon, a permanent barrier to banish Gwi-Ma forever.
In the modern day, the Hunters are the chart-topping K-pop group Huntrix, comprised of three dynamic women: Rumi (Arden Cho), the lead vocalist with a mysterious past; Mira (May Wong), the rebellious “black sheep”; and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), the sweet-natured rapper. As fans eagerly await their latest concert, the trio is already in action, battling demonic cabin crew aboard their private jet while belting out their hit single “How It’s Done.” The sequence culminates in a jaw-dropping midair fight, with Huntrix landing on stage to deliver a show-stopping performance and vanquish the last demon.
In the underworld, Gwi-Ma fumes over his minions’ failure to collect human souls. Enter Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop), a cunning demon with a tragic past, who proposes a new plan: transform himself and four other demons—Romance (Joel Kim Booster), Mystery (Alan Lee), Abs (Sungwon Cho), and Baby—into the Saja Boys, a rival boy band designed to steal Huntrix’s fans and weaken the Honmoon. Jinu’s motives are complex, as he seeks to erase his painful memories in exchange for his service to Gwi-Ma.
As Huntrix prepares for a hiatus, Rumi impulsively announces their new single, “Golden,” forcing the group back into the spotlight. However, during a music video shoot, Rumi’s voice begins to falter, revealing a shocking secret: she is half-demon, a truth known only to Celine, who raised her like a daughter. A visit to the eccentric Healer Han (Daniel Dae Kim) provides temporary relief, but tensions rise when Huntrix crosses paths with the Saja Boys, instantly recognizing them as demons despite their charm.
The rivalry escalates as the Saja Boys gain millions of fans with their catchy single “Soda Pop,” threatening the Honmoon’s stability. Huntrix attempts to expose them on a variety show and in a chaotic bathhouse brawl, but the Saja Boys prove elusive. Meanwhile, Jinu discovers Rumi’s demonic heritage but keeps it secret, forming an unexpected bond with her. In a poignant rooftop meeting, Jinu shares his 400-year-old tragedy: he abandoned his destitute family for a deal with Gwi-Ma, only to lose them forever. Rumi begins to empathize with Jinu, seeing parallels in their hidden shame.
As the Idol Awards approach, Huntrix crafts a powerful diss track, “Takedown,” to defeat the Saja Boys and create the Golden Honmoon. But Rumi’s growing acceptance of her demon side strains her relationship with Mira and Zoey. At a fan event, rumors of romantic pairings between Huntrix and the Saja Boys swirl, complicating matters further. When the Saja Boys amass over 50 million fans, demons begin spilling into the human world, and a train-top battle leaves Huntrix devastated by the loss of innocent passengers.
Jinu promises Rumi he’ll sabotage the Saja Boys at the Idol Awards, but Gwi-Ma exposes Jinu’s lies about his past, shattering Rumi’s trust. At the awards, the Saja Boys orchestrate a cruel betrayal, revealing Rumi’s demonic markings onstage. Feeling betrayed by Rumi’s secret, Mira and Zoey abandon her, and Jinu admits his selfish past, leaving Rumi heartbroken. As Gwi-Ma’s influence grows, Rumi embraces her demon side, declaring the Honmoon’s destruction.
The Saja Boys lure fans to Namsan Tower for a soul-stealing performance, but Rumi arrives, singing “What It Sounds Like” to break Gwi-Ma’s hold over Mira and Zoey. Reunited, Huntrix faces Gwi-Ma’s wrath, but Jinu sacrifices himself to protect Rumi, giving her his restored soul. Empowered, Huntrix performs their song, destroying the Saja Boys and banishing Gwi-Ma back to the underworld, restoring the Honmoon.
In the aftermath, Huntrix takes a well-deserved break, reconciling at a bathhouse where Rumi finally embraces her true self. As they leave, inspired by young fans, the trio hints at their return to the stage. Above, Jinu’s bird and tiger watch over them, suggesting his spirit lives on.
Huntrix is a genre-bending triumph, seamlessly blending K-pop spectacle with fantasy and action. The chemistry between Cho, Wong, and Yoo anchors the film, while Lee’s chilling Gwi-Ma and Hyo-seop’s layered Jinu add depth. The soundtrack, featuring bangers like “How It’s Done,” “Golden,” and “Takedown,” is destined to dominate charts. With themes of identity, loyalty, and redemption, Huntrix is both a crowd-pleaser and a heartfelt story of self-acceptance. Huntrix is now playing in theaters worldwide.
