The Wailing

Has no business being that long.

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

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 wanted to like this one, truly. But it was just too slow and confusing to be as long as it was.

I'm sure there are things that make more sense the second time, I just don't think I have it in me to watch it again.

I wish there was a rating between “meh” and “like.” The film overall is a good one. It shows great writing, direction, and acting but dang was it slow. I like a slow movie but this was too slow. Going to watch Exhuma next… I hope I enjoy that one more.

literally traumatizing and emotionally draining. great plot and acting. it's the way me, as a watcher, always in the wrong side until the end? when someone said something about a film where you have to watch at least once in your life, this is it!!!
