Exclusive ‘The Wailing’ Clip Screams in Madness
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at a clip from Na Hong-jin’s widely praised The Wailing, his follow-up to The Chaser and The Yellow Sea, which opens Nationwide this Friday, June 3rd (theater listing).
In The Wailing (Goksung), “A foreigner’s mysterious appearance in a quiet, rural village causes suspicion among the locals — suspicion which quickly turns to hysteria as the townspeople begin killing each other in brutal outbursts for seemingly no reason. As the investigating officer watches his daughter fall under the same savage spell, he agrees to consult a shaman for answers – unknowingly escalating the situation into something far more dangerous.”
Here’s what Pat said in his review:
“I definitely haven’t had as much fun with a film like this in a long while. The Wailing exudes atmosphere from every aspect, and the steadily rising tension makes the runtime fly by. The acting by all involved fits in perfectly. And while the story is deliberately disjointed to a fault, it keeps you wanting to see just where things will go. If you’re a fan of Korean horror, The Wailing is absolutely a must-watch. And even if you’re not, a film with this type of atmosphere and tension is truly hard to pass up.”
A bedtime lullaby soothes an unsettling newborn in our exclusive clip from Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
The dark fable makes its debut on Shudder on July 31.
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star as new parents in Nightborn, and this exclusive clip highlights mom’s harrowing transition into motherhood.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson also star.
Bergholm teased of her maternal horror movie, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
