The premise

Unearthly beings deliver bloody condemnations, sending individuals to hell and giving rise to a religious group founded on the idea of divine justice.

Horror Vault's take

In a world suddenly shaken by terrifying supernatural visitations, certain individuals receive cryptic death sentences from otherworldly creatures — and the chaos that follows is just as dangerous as the monsters themselves. A new religious movement seizes on these events to consolidate power, preaching that the condemned deserve their fate. Korean thriller series Hellbound explores how fear and faith can be weaponized, turning society against itself. Based on a webtoon, it's a stylish, provocative blend of creature horror and social commentary.
