No more hiding... no more lies... we are thrilled to announce that KPOP DEMON HUNTERS is here at The Nightlight! 🎬 Screening here beginning March 14th. Grab your tickets now!'KPop Demon Hunters', a 2025 American animated musical urban fantasy film, was co-written and directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. When K-pop superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoey aren’t selling out stadiums, they’re using their secret powers to protect their fans from supernatural threats. They face off against a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons.
Kang wanted to create a story inspired by her Korean heritage, drawing on elements of mythology, demonology, and K-pop to craft a visually distinct and culturally rooted film. The visuals were influenced by concert lighting, editorial photography, music videos, and anime and Korean dramas. The soundtrack features original songs by several musicians and a score by Marcelo Zarvos.
'KPop Demon Hunters' received acclaim for its animation, visual style, voice acting, story, and music. Its accolades include Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the 31st Critics' Choice Awards and 83rd Golden Globe Awards, and Time named it the "2025 breakthrough of the year". At the 98th Academy Awards, it is nominated for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. It won a Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media (for "Golden"). A sequel is in development.
