The Wailing review

Posted : 7 years, 4 months ago on 11 December 2016 09:44

Notes:
*I really know nothing about this movie.
*It's 2 and a half hours so I am hoping it will be good.
*It was suggested by a friend here so I'm giving it a go.
*I have heard of Hong-jin Na's other movies, but haven't seen them.
*There are a couple actors here I have actually seen before.
*Anyways let us see what this has to offer.

Pros:
*The acting was excellent!
*It's familiar yet feels like such an original story.
*Despite the long runtime it doesn't feel long a lot of the time.
*The ending was interesting and I definitely wasn't expecting how it would all go.
*I have to say I don't think I have seen a Korean movie deal with this subject matter.
*It's pretty humorous too mixed in with the drama.

Cons:
*It's quite long and it's not necessarily quick paced.
*You kind of have to understand their folklore to get some things that happen.

Verdict:
Thanks to the giraffe for suggesting this. It's actually a pretty good movie. It deals with a subject we've seen with a new perspective. If you got a few hours to kill I say give it a shot.
