The Wailing
Directed by Na Hong Jin
In this unbelievably tense supernatural thriller, a foreigner’s mysterious appearance in a quiet, rural village causes suspicion among the locals - suspicion which quickly turns to hysteria as the townspeople begin killing each other in brutal outbursts for seemingly no reason. As the investigating officer watches his daughter fall under the same savage spell, he agrees to consult a shaman for answers - unknowingly escalating the situation into something far more dangerous.

Excellent movie! If I wasn’t jumping, I was laughing. THIS movie I highly recommend.
Great movie.
What a great movie!! I enjoyed it even with it's silly moments. One thing I found myself thinking was why doesn't any cop shoot their gun ? So I did a quick check out google, only to discover most South Korean Police don't carry guns. Give this movie a go it just may be something you enjoy 🤘
I find myself coming back to this one on days where where nothing really sounds palatable. such a well done film.
Amazing. Love the mix of genres here, love how dark it gets. So atmospheric, so original.
