Salmokji: Whispering Water (Korean: 살목지) is an upcoming South Korean horror film directed by Lee Sang-min, and starring Kim Hye-yoon and Lee Jong-won. It centers on a road-view filming crew who begin experiencing supernatural events after recording a mysterious figure in a secluded reservoir.[2] Distributed by Showbox, the film is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 8, 2026.[3]
Plot
A road-view filming crew is sent to a remote reservoir to reshoot footage that was previously deemed unusable due to unexplained visual distortions. Led by Soo-in, the team documents the surrounding roads and landscape, but during a routine review of the recordings, they notice unfamiliar figures and unsettling details that none of them recall encountering while filming.
As the crew investigates the origin of the footage, they learn that the reservoir has been linked to a past incident that was never fully resolved. Tensions rise as additional anomalies appear in newly recorded images, blurring the line between technical malfunction and deliberate concealment, and the crew begins to suspect that the site itself is connected to a hidden crime.
