Critics consensus

“The Wailing delivers an atmospheric, cleverly constructed mystery whose supernatural thrills more than justify its imposing length.”

The Wailing's is a world where histories, identities, cultures, realities and generic codes and conventions collapse in spectacular, unforgettable style.

Very crazy, very Korean, very long: 156 minutes of murder, diabolism, exorcism and things that go bump by day and night.

A complex Korean horror with the surreal village feel of Twin Peaks.

It’s a film that haunts you long after the credits roll, not because it screams, but because it speaks plainly. And what it says is terrifying.
