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.”
