“Exhuma” is an occult mystery film that unravels bizarre events involving a feng shui master, a mortician, and two shamans as they relocate mysterious graves in exchange for a hefty sum of money.

Lee Do Hyun, who previously impressed in “Prison Playbook,” “Youth of May,” “The Good Bad Mother,” “The Glory,” “Sweet Home,” and more, plays Bong Gil, a shaman who is skilled in incantations. In his debut project “Prison Playbook,” Lee Do Hyun played a high school baseball player, and in his highly-anticipated screen debut, Lee Do Hyun will portray a character who was once a baseball player that quits to become a shaman.

Bong Gil is a rookie shaman that works with Hwa Rim (Kim Go Eun) who saves him from the illness that strikes people before they become shamans. The newly released stills capture Lee Do Hyun’s drastic transformation, showcasing his tattoos and depicting him chanting scriptures.
