The Wailing [Blu-ray] [2016]

This is not the kind of film that includes any jump scares, nor does it need them. When a mysterious rash of violence begins occurring in a small town, the local chief of police is overwhelmed by the events. He begins following the trail of evidence that points at an outsider, but he finds that the story is more complicated than he can believe. This film is really about paranoia, gullibility, and a community's innate trust or distrust of each other. This sounds more like a psychological thriller than a horror movie, but trust me, it qualifies as horror for plenty of good reasons. If you like the type of tense horror thriller that leaves you feeling disturbed at the end of the film, this is your kind of movie.

True horror. Watching a Korean horror film is very different from watching an American one. Very funny and scary. Deeply odd and original.

Sort of a horror tale, did not understand most of it.

Very original, spooky and scary movie. Have never seen a scary movie like this before.

Very disappointing movie for Asian movie fans of which I am one.

My personal favorite release of 2016. An absolutely breathtaking mash-up of genres that is a must-watch not just for fans of Korean cinema, but cinema in general. The release itself is fine. A couple of BTS shorts and decent picture quality. Comes with a slipcover. Just wish there were Korean subtitles.

I am a fan of the horror genre, and it's been quite a while since actually felt terrified after watching a film. Many of the horror films that have been released in the past few years have been nothing but cliche that are filled with jump scares, and the over usage of this in many of Hollywood films have been watering down the genre. The Wailing is a Korean horror film with a psychological thriller and suspense in a level of its own. The movie is spoken in its native language (Korean), but the subtitles are excellent and easy to follow along. It's also one of those rare horror films where the ending is up to the viewer's interpretation. It is extremely chilling that will stay with you for days, and won't be able to stop thinking about it once it ends. This is an example of how horror films should be made. Definitely check it out if you're a fan of horror!

A Korean ghost story that will most likely give you the creeps. They don't make them like this over in the US.
