Review of The Wailing

The Wailing (2016)
Another terrific film from South Korea...
20 November 2016
Here's another terrific film from South Korea. If you enjoy South Korean cinema, or just plain good cinema, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy "The Wailing." It was directed by the same filmmaker who made "The Chaser."

Part thriller, part horror movie, the story involves ghosts, possession, a strange illness, and lots of wailing. ;-) There's also some eccentric humour in it, but this is not a comedy film. I think it would make a good film for viewing during the Halloween season, because there are some creepy scenes in it.

My only warning here: one scene involves animal sacrifice. So if you're a bit squeamish about stuff like that, you might want to fast forward through that sequence. But that scene isn't overly graphic and it doesn't last too long.

Anyway, thumbs up from me. South Korea is pumping out a lot of great movies these days.
