The premise

In Sector 7, an underwater oil field located south of Jeju Island, Hae-jun is working as a marine equipment manager on an oil prospecting ship called Eclipse. Joining the crew later is Jeong-man, a former colleague of Hae-jun's father, assigned to Eclipse as captain. Though his job is to oversee the withdrawal of the ship, he suggests conducting some drilling one last time.

Horror Vault's take

Deep beneath the waters of Sector 7 — a remote oil field south of Jeju Island — the crew of the drilling vessel Eclipse are preparing to wrap up a fruitless expedition when an unexpected discovery changes everything. What lurks in the deep soon makes its way aboard, turning the isolated rig into a deadly hunting ground. South Korean action-horror veteran Ha Ji-won leads a trapped crew fighting for survival against a terrifying creature from the ocean depths. The film blends high-octane set pieces with classic creature-feature dread in a watery, claustrophobic setting.
