The Wailing

Has no business being that long.

That little girl delivered one hell of a performance, goddamn! I'm slacking on Korean horror films because I've seen quite a few now, and they kind of dominate the genre nowadays. Starts out slow, but when it kicks in, the film grips you and gets more intense as it goes on.

I watched this right after Parasite, so maybe my expectations were set too high. Although the acting is great, some of the events feel overdone or “horror for the sake of horror”. I enjoyed it still, but nothing here really sticks out for me. Decent 6

8.2/10
Really interesting horror-mystery story with very strong writing and plot twists to keep the audience guessing - I dont know how well the horror worked for me, not very many true scares or moments of very strong tension but still a very entertaining story

6/10 it’s really good, it was unsettling and creepy. But it just dragged too long, no clue why they are it this long.

Apotheosis of supernatural horror and detective crime thrillers. That game of chess ending was extremely provocative after having managed to keep you on edge for 2.5 hours. Incredible atmosphere in the rural setting with one of the best child performances i’ve ever seen.
