Out of his depth, local police officer Jong-goo investigates a spate of killings, as well as an outbreak of madness seemingly connected to the recent arrival of a mysterious Japanese man who resides in the outskirts of the village. What s more, he is horrified to discover his young daughter may have fallen under the stranger s curse. Jong-goo calls on a charismatic shaman to free his daughter from the stranger s dangerous influence, but the shaman s intense exorcism ritual threatens to worsen the situation... and Jong-goo, with his world collapsing around him, realises he must confront the ultimate evil.

Egy két és fél órás, a dél-koreaiak számára tipikusan rendezetlen összevisszaság, a vígjáték, a családi dráma és főleg démonokkal, sámánokkal, zombikkal, egy megszállott kislánnyal és rengeteg vérrel teli horror keveréke. Rengeteg egyenként remek jelenet, de egészében véve egyáltalán nem lehet komolyan venni, már csak azért sem, mert a szereplők idiótán viselkednek. Kár érte, mert a produkciós értékek magasak, és az utolsó harmad felállított csavarjaiból érződik a műfaji klisék újítására irányuló törekvés. [Cannes]

An interesting Korean genre mix where it pays to follow all the themes closely. Everything may not fit 100% as it should in the end (more accurately – as I imagined it would), but the overall impression of a fairly original crime drama with a distinct mystery atmosphere remains strong nonetheless. If its main investigator had a more in-depth (or more seriously) fleshed out character, it might even have made the cut. Indeed, at times I felt that some of the characters were caricatures of themselves, which I can't quite connect with. 3.5 stars

A film as treacherous, captivating, cunning and unpredictable as the Devil himself. The Wailing is the perfect fulfilment of the basic horror principle that the most frightening thing is the loss of rational certainties, which is felt not only by the film’s characters, but primarily by its viewers.

The Wailing definitely had the makings of an excellent film. The atmosphere, the village, the cast, a few funny moments in the beginning, and the odd case that the viewer is actually looking forward to solving. But the more supernatural it started to get, the more my hope for a solid script diminished. Then the red eyes, the shamans start showing up, and it ends up being a bit of a nonsensical mishmash. At least they managed to keep the suspense up. 3 stars.

A richer horror sub-genre blend than I expected. That naked old man with blazing red eyes will probably haunt my dreams for a few days, thanks a lot! Perhaps it is overstuffed, there are so many motifs and evil or potentially evil entities that I’m not entirely sure that I got everything, but the overall impression is very positive nonetheless.
