About
A screening of the film "The Wailing". Director Na Hong-jin's 2016 tale follows country police sergeant Kwak Do-won investigating murders linked to a strange, sense-deranging sickness, while villagers blame a Japanese drifter suspected of being an evil spirit. Steeped in ancient east Asian folklore and Christian symbolism, it is a work of insinuating, creeping terror that turns horror tropes inside out into something unpredictable and genuinely disturbing.

Critics
7.8Very good
Critics praise the atmosphere, cinematography, tension and artful handling of horror conventions, elevating the genre. Faults are the imposing length and a slightly quieter impact compared with the director's earlier acclaimed films.
