The Old Woman with the Knife (Korean: 파과), released in South Korea on April 30, 2025, is a South Korean action thriller directed by Min Kyu-dong and based on the novel of the same name by Gu Byeong-mo. The film stars Lee Hye-young as Hornclaw, a legendary assassin in her sixties who specializes in eliminating "the scum of the earth." Her decades-long, solitary career takes an unexpected turn when she meets Bullfight (Kim Sung-cheol), a skilled young hitman who seeks to work alongside her. As their unlikely bond forms, Hornclaw discovers that cracks are forming in the underworld they inhabit, and she herself has become a target. The narrative delves into Hornclaw's past through flashbacks, revealing how she became the formidable assassin she is, starting from a harrowing experience in 1975. The film explores themes of aging, the changing nature of their profession, and the unexpected connection that develops between the seasoned killer and her ambitious protégé, ultimately leading to a deadly confrontation fueled by vengeance and survival when Bullfight's true, intertwined past with Hornclaw is revealed.
