Factory, in collaboration with CJ Entertainment and United Pictures, introduces WOOCHI THE DEMON SLAYER (???, Jeon Woo-Chi 2009) on Blu-ray and DVD.

This highly anticipated North American home entertainment release is priced to own at $26.97 SRP for Blu-ray; the DVD has a suggested retail price of $19.97. This fantasy-action blockbuster based on a Korean folktale broke all box-office records in Korea in 2009. Jeon Woo-Chi (Gang Dong-Won), an undisciplined, womanizing wizard unjustly accused of the death of his master, is trapped inside an ancient scroll until he is set free in 2009 by the wizards that imprisoned him to help fight against evil goblins that have taken over present-day Korea. The only problem is that Woo-Chi is more interested in his new modern home -- and the women of Korea -- than becoming a hero. Will he be the savior of mankind? From the celebrated action-director Choi Dong-Hoon (TAZZA: THE HIGH ROLLERS), WOOCHI THE DEMON SLAYER features non-stop action and amazing stunts by renowned choreographer Doo-hong Jung (G.I. JOE: RETALIATION, THE GOOD THE BAD & THE WEIRD).
