The executors of hell resemble a giant gorilla, but somehow bigger and more menacing. These hellbeasts kill a young man, whose body is then burnt. Ultimately, only his skeleton remains.

Adapted from the famous webtoon of the same name, Hellbound follows the story of supernatural beings who sentence people to hell. As a result, the society falls into a state of chaos and disorder.
