The Wailing

Another excellent horror movie from South Korea I really like the movie and I enjoyed watching it a lot

This is one of my favorite South Korean horror movies. A great story. Has a touch of humor.

wow. what an awesome movie.

Horror pure blood , scary and strange , love it , slight comparisation , Burning , I Saw The Devil , Memories of Murder .

I am glad to have been able to order this DVD through Amazon.Com. I live in a Little Red Dot called Singapore where Korean movies and TV dramas are very popular. Yet, I couldn't find this DVD at DVD shops. I read a newspaper review of the movie and wanted to see it but work commitments got in the way and I missed it. When it comes to horror movies, Korean horror takes a backseat to Japanese horror. The Wailing is one of the better Korean horror movies. Briefly, the story is about a police officer who is called to investigate a series of murders in a rural community. The victims have their bodies mutilated. Plenty of gore for horror fans who want to see a bloody mess. There is a suspect - an old Japanese man who lives alone in the village. The suspicion is later shifted to a strange young woman who is thought to be a witch. So, is it the old Japanese or the young woman? A shaman is called to exorcise whatever demons that are believed to have been unleashed upon the villagers. He's no angel. I will stop here to avoid giving a spoiler. There's an air of mystery over the murders and how these were committed. I like the rural setting. There are creepy moments but, despite the gory scenes, this movie didn't scare the daylights out of me like the Ju-On movies from Japan did. Americans should give this movie a try - get a feel of rural Korea and Korean horror. Want to see something Korean that is really scary? It's not the demon in this movie. The scary one was in my country on 12 June where he shook hands with President Trump.

I watch a lot of horror movies (and I do mean a lot of horror movies--they're one of my passions), so when I say that this is one of the finest horror films I've seen in recent years, you know that's not empty praise. And in fact this really is one of the finest horror movies I've seen in recent years. It's wonderfully performed, beautifully shot, and amazingly suspenseful throughout.Admittedly, it's a long movie and a bit of a slow burn at times, but none of the slower sequences are ever boring. Rather, they're fascinating as the filmmakers gradually reveal information and provide layer after layer of suspense. And this is genuine suspense. The viewer is never entirely sure what's actually going on. This is, in large part, a tale of suspicion and paranoia and the viewer consistently struggles to know which suspicions are founded and which really are just the products of paranoia. It's not a new cinematic device, but it's used about as well as I've ever seen a movie use it. Similarly, the basic plot and premise of the film will be familiar to horror and thriller fans, but they're rendered perfectly to create that rarest of all entities: a horror movie capable of haunting even the most jaded of horror fans.If you haven't seen this yet, you really owe it to yourself to watch it.

I always hesitate to use the word masterpiece unless I feel a film really earns it. This one earns it. One of the best horror films to come out in decades. It’s a slow burn folk horror that takes its time and forces the audience to be patient. I can see some having a problem with the length but I could’ve watched 4 hours of this with no hesitation. It has a really unforgettable payoff. Korean horror is a force to be reckoned with. The 4K looks and sounds stunning. I didn’t have the sound issue many have had. Dolby Atmos is on my disc so I didn’t have to request a replacement.

Got the 4K cause it was on sale. Unfortunately it does not arrive with the slipcover like the image.
