Korean audiences get a late-summer treat with Shin Jeong-won’s Chaw, a nature-run-amok offering teased last year that will be making its way into theaters overseas this August. Sorry, you don’t get a real good look at the beast in the teaser trailer that jumped online recently (see below), but we like what we see so far. We’ll update you on this title as more comes in.
