If you thought owning your own place meant peace and freedom, think again. Netflix’s upcoming Korean thriller ‘Wall To Wall’ flips that dream on its head—and it’s arriving July 18 to mess with your nerves and your Netflix queue.

Starring Kang Ha Neul, the film tells the story of Woo Sung, an ordinary guy who pours everything—and we mean everything—into finally buying his own apartment. From his life savings and severance pay to his mom’s garlic field (yes, really), he scrapes together the down payment for a modest but coveted 1,140-square-foot unit, the most common layout in Korea. But the real nightmare begins after the paperwork is signed.

Instead of peace and quiet, Woo Sung finds himself tormented by inexplicable floor noises from above—unrelenting, unnamed, and deeply disturbing. The cheerful fantasy of homeownership is quickly replaced by sleepless nights, rising paranoia, and a creeping sense of dread. As the sounds grow louder and his sanity thinner, ‘Wall To Wall’ takes a haunting dive into the kind of psychological horror that hides in plain sight.

The newly dropped teaser poster paints the picture: an endless grid of apartment buildings, tightly packed and looming—a striking metaphor for the crushing pressure of urban living in South Korea’s sky-high real estate market. And if that wasn’t enough to raise your heart rate, the trailer seals the deal: a cheery voice congratulates Woo Sung on his new home while a jarring contrast of upbeat music plays over scenes of his unraveling.

Director Kim Tae Joon, fresh off the critical acclaim of his thriller Unlocked, returns with a story that’s equally chilling and grounded in reality. If you’ve ever lived in a packed apartment building, the concept hits close to home—literally. Expect an unflinching look at urban isolation, housing stress, and the kind of quiet madness that builds between the walls.

Also starring Yeom Hye Ran (The Glory) and Seo Hyeon Woo (Flower of Evil), ‘Wall To Wall’ is already drawing attention for its high-caliber cast and uniquely claustrophobic atmosphere. With Netflix banking on this psychological thriller to join the ranks of its global Korean hits, all signs point to your next binge-worthy obsession.
