Hellbound Is Even Scarier Than Train to Busan - Den of Geek
Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho returns with Hellbound, Netflix's six-part supernatural horror series about what happens when hell comes calling.
In the series’ opening minutes (shown in the first trailer for the series), massive, Hulk-like monsters appear out of nowhere to chase a man through the busy, daylit streets of downtown Seoul. The monsters beat the man to death and then burn him to a crisp with their otherworldly powers. Then, they disappear just as mysteriously as they came, through a portal into what seems like another realm. As you might imagine, there are not only many bystanders to this event, but many of them film the horrific killing, with the footage going viral.
The first three episodes of Hellbound are less concerned with explaining how this supernatural event happened and more interested in depicting how different elements of society will respond. People are understandably terrified, and looking for answers that can fit into their understanding of the world. Traditional institutions—from law enforcement to broadcast media—don’t have them. We see just how in-over-their-heads the Seoul police department is by following world-weary detective Jin Kyeong-hoon (Yang Ik-june). Jin is one of the officers assigned to the Hapjeong Station murder, which is being treated as a “typical” killing rather than one perpetrated by demon-monsters. Jin and company look for an explanation as to how this tragedy happened, but are soon waylaid into dealing with the fear-driven harassment and violence that result from the phenomenon.

Watched The Feast this morning. It was nothing like I was expecting it to be from the trailer. It had a clumsily executed a message about class and an air of non-stop ncoherence.
Final verdict: it was weird as all hell.
I give 'The Feast' 2 out of 4 Gun Totin' Pilgrim Loomis'

I haven’t seen The Feast yet
Buy ReP owed for the perfectly executed thanksgiving themed gun toting Dr. Loomis - toast it up!!
I’ve watched the first 2 episodes- it’s engaging asf- not sure if it’s better than Train to Busan as the reviews are saying but it’s up there. The opening scene alone was
I think my only issue is the pacing - how they move from scene to scene so fast while trying to keep up with the subtitles and the character underlying stories. But the initial premise of getting an alert that “you are going to die x number of days from now at x:xx am/pm” is depressing and morbid asf - as if that’s not enough, but your soul is condemned to hell. Basically, chaos consumes. This series is delivering

I've got Hellbound on deck. I'm a die-hard fan of the old Cowboy Bebop anime, so I'm giving the remake my full attention first. I'm HYPE to go in on Hellbound though, Train to Busan is so damned good!
@Jello Biafra what do you think about HellBound?? Have had a chance to watch. So far it’s 3.5/4 gun totin pilgrim hat dr. Loomis for me- I’m on to ep 3.
HellBound is reallllllyy good. @MartyMcFly are you up on HellBound?
HellBound brings about the existential question of if you knew that you were going to do in 6 days at 6:00pm- what do you do with your time left?? And you know your final destination is being condemned to hell??!!
Haven’t watched it yet but I keep seeing ads for it. Giving it a watch when I’m done with cowboy bebop.

I'm about to start this one. Finished Bebop (liked it way more than most anime-heads did so I'm curious about what @MartyMcFly thinks about it) and now Hellbound is getting my full attention after work!
I liked it despite how muddled the plot got after the time jump.
I'm all in for a second season because I really need to know just what the hell is going on with the Decrees.
And you can't even off yourself to avoid the beatdown from the brimstone rock monsters either. I was like 
when them 3 brolic boulders put the beats on that dude who committed suicide's spirit.
