It’s also already available online – but I’d wait to find out if it’s playing in any nearby cinemas first (and ask the cinemas about it, at least if any are independent).
If you’d rather support the makers and subtitlers than criminal organisations, you can watch in cinemas at festivals if there’s one near enough, on national release if there’s one in your country (and it’s been licensed for quite a lot), or online if it’s released online in your country. If there isn’t even an online release, you might be able to import it on Blu-ray Disc or DVD from a country in which it’s been released on them. https://www.blu-ray.com/Project-Wolf-Hunting/1610838/#Releases will have info about those as people add it.
In at least the US and Canada, where it’s been released by Well Go USA, and in the UK and Ireland, where Icon Film Distribution is releasing it. I expect it will be released with them in Australia and New Zealand and some Southeast Asian countries, too. But to get it with English subs where English isn’t the majority language you might need to import it on disc from somewhere it is released with English subs (it’s out on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in Northern America in a few days).
Does anyone know where to watch it? I was looking online already but wasn’t able to find it
It depends on which country you’re in. But generally in cinemas in festivals or on national release, or on various VOD platforms or Blu-ray Disc and DVD if it’s already been released on them there (but it hasn’t been in many countries yet).
If you didn’t see it at festivals, according to https://www.facebook.com/IconFilmUK/photos/a.10150195886456845/10159232743796845/?type=3 it’s already on the Icon Film Channel and its Prime Video channel, but if you can wait till 10 March it will be in some UK and Irish cinemas starting then (I recommend asking cinemas, especially independent ones, about it to make them more likely to play it).
If one watches it on “Kiss” and “Cool” sites, one can’t be certain if the subtitles are the official ones, and the video is unlikely to be as high quality as the Icon Film Channel or Prime Video, let alone as much as a Digital Cinema Package shown in a cinema.
The conventional order is world premiere ➡️ national release in home country ➡️ festivals in other countries ➡️ national releases in other countries ➡️ home video release in home country ➡️ home video releases in other countries.
However, nowadays there can be a premium-priced, rental-only online release soon after or (for the most limited releases) the same date as the cinema release, then the normal online release and disc release later.
If it has a national cinema or online release in Turkey, https://www.beyazperde.com/filmler/film-306990/ should have the date. It doesn’t have one yet, but it’s somewhat encouraging that it has a page there and a Turkish title.
It was released with professional English subs in cinemas across the US in October 2022, according to https://wellgousa.com/films/project-wolf-hunting – it’s out there on home video on 14 February 2023. Well Go USA link to where it can be purchased on Blu-ray Disc, and there should be links to get it online at https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/799379/watch starting on that day.
I can’t tell where you are, but if you’re in the UK or Ireland it will be in cinemas nationally starting 10 March. It’s also already online on the Icon Film Channel and its Prime Video channel.
It was released in cinemas in Northern America last October and is out online and on disc there this month.
If that’s not sufficient explanation than it might not be your kind of movie. But there’s more on the Northern American distributor’s page for it at https://wellgousa.com/films/project-wolf-hunting
It’s a theatrical movie, not a lengthy TV drama series, and it’s not a fluffy romance – well, those are…
It’s clearly not as well-regarded as “Parasite”, nor as appealing to as wide a range of people. Which there’s no great shame in; there’s not much else that is.
It’s just that, in my experience, when something has many really low public ratings, it’s not in response to artistic or technical failings but because of thematic elements that can be (mis)interpreted as offensive, angering a particular fandom, the off-screen activities of actors and directors, or that it’s been seen by many people who were expecting something very different – as can happen when popular actors are cast in art-house or extreme movies, and/or when they have intentionally misleading advertising to appear more mainstream or more like a movie that was successful recently (PRC distributors are notorious for this because their priority is maximising the opening weekend return, not what the movie will be rated on Douban for all time afterwards).
All that written, 7.3 (as it currently stands) isn’t that low a rating, considering even some users that like this kind of movie have some problems with it. But I expect it’d be a bit higher if it hadn’t been seen by so many SEO In Guk fans who weren’t prepared for something starring him to be *this* different from “Shopaholic Louis”, if you understand what I mean.
Whete is everyone watching this? I cant find it anywhere.
I don’t know your location, but I know that in Northern America it was released in cinemas on 7 October last year, and in the UK and Ireland it has played in Leeds International Film Festival and likely some others, it’s currently on the Icon Film Channel and it will be on national release in cinemas from 10 March.
It’s a theatrical movie, not a lengthy TV drama series, and it’s not a fluffy romance – well, those are the usual reasons.
In this case, I don’t think anyone would mistake it for a fluffy romance. But I suspect there are a lot of younger people who aren’t familiar with the “Asia Extreme” wave of the early 2000s that Korean media first really became known in the West as part of (spearheaded in English-speaking countries by Tartan Films) and only with more moderately violent movies like “Parasite” who weren’t expecting something with actors known from romantic dramas to be as far away from those to the extremes that this is.

For anywhere else, it depends on the country, so I’d need to know where someone is to be ableto be of any help in answering this.
