Plot – Spoilers:
Jong-goo is a police sergeant who lives with his daughter, wife and mother-in-law in a small South Korean village. A dedicated family man, Jong-goo receives a call one morning about a double-murder. On reaching the murder site, the police find the killer in a trance and covered with strange sores. The murders were brutal and there is evidence of dark rituals and worship involved.
Over the next few days, more strange sightings and horrific murders occur, and the previously-detached Jong-goo is drawn deeper into the investigation when his daughter starts behaving strangely.
The Wailing is a horror movie that prefers to keep its plot vague but provides enough biblical references for those familiar with the book to draw their own conclusions.
Truly a masterpiece in terms of horror. The ending can not be explained in words. You must watch it to understand what I mean. I give it a full rating of 10/10
That was really an awesome experience !
Totally agree but I don’t have understand the end, the woman in white, was she good or evil ? That’s the question ?
This shit was pretty confusing even at the end, kinda chill tbh 6/10
too long and boring 4/10
You’re just too dumb to understand subtle matter, idiot
You’re too thick to understand that people don’t share the same mind and all opinions are valid.
settle down karen. we see you
actually you are the dumb one, asshole.
It was honestly a really good horror film, it was slow i will admit but it was wonderfully done. Definitely worth a watch.

Thanks for pointing it out. It’s been fixed.

Very cool film. Give it a chance.
Here’s an unpopular opinion. This movie is slow, long and boring.., it continues to languish till the end, really loud [email protected] characters, I kept on adjusting the screen brightness and squinting my eyes to make out “what the fucks are going on” in the constant, deliberate, dark lighting… the twists are a total cop-out… Wasted my time watching this and the only consolation is that, I can now form an honest opinion about it.
Same thoughts here. One word to explain – Pathetic!
Too much plot twist..so who acctually did it..??
SPOILER “The Japanese and that male shaman”
wtf is wrong with those people? they cant even keep stand up or walk
