"Exhuma" will premiere in continental Europe at the Udine Far East Film Festival, which will take place from April 24th to May 2nd. European rights-holders may be waiting for that festival to conclude before releasing the film in their markets, as "Exhuma" will be playing in competition and may receive an award. "Exhuma" is the latest from writer/director Jang Jae-hyeon of "The Priests" from 2015 and "Svaha: The Sixth Finger" from 2019.
