The trailer opens with a shocking statement: In three days, at midnight, I will kill someone. This statement has informed both the audience and reporter Baek Sun-ju (played by Cho Yeo-jeong) that they are entering a brain-stopping battle with a crazy assassin.
The next developments of the trailer revealed that Baek Sun-ju was challenged by Lee Young-hoon (played by Jung Sung-il): "If you agree to do the interview, I will give you a chance to save the victim." Normally, a reporter like Baek Sun-ju will run after the characters to own the hottest exclusive news. But now, the situation has reversed.
The villain was the one who took the initiative to invite her to an interview, in a pre-booked luxury room, and said that she could have the opportunity to save someone after he revealed the number of 11 severely damaged victims.
The trailer for Murder Interview has a fast-paced and suspenseful beat with continuous cuts, predicting the brutal and psychological terrorism of the perpetrator, as well as the breathless confrontation in a closed room between reporter Baek Sun-ju and assassin Lee Young-hoon. The film brings a new subgenre for the first time: tight-focus thriller.
