Korean Disaster Film "The Great Flood" Hides a Sinister Secret

A new Korean film starts as a classic disaster movie but transforms into something more unsettling. "The Great Flood" begins with a familiar crisis. Catastrophic rains submerge Seoul after an asteroid hits Antarctica. A mother, An-na, fights to save her young son by climbing to the top of their 30-story apartment building. The story then takes a sharp turn. An-na is not just any survivor. She is a key scientist for a secret United Nations research project. Because of her vital work, a rescue helicopter is sent for her and her son. The film shifts from a simple flood survival story into more sinister science-fiction territory. It questions who gets saved when the world ends.
