It’s been a stellar year for Korean cinema with the likes of Train to Busan, The Handmaiden and The Wailing (read our review). The latter of which has just wrapped up touring film festivals in the UK and received a release in cinemas and VOD. Instead of the usual blue toned one sheet featuring a mysterious gate, Great Britain have decided to get their hands bloody with a new quad poster. Take a look at the horny Rorschach test below. What was your fav K-Horror of 2016? You can watch The Wailing in the UK here.
In this unbelievably tense supernatural thriller, 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. Over six years in the making, director Na Hong-jin’s meticulously crafted follow-up to the globally acclaimed THE YELLOW SEA and THE CHASER (his third to premiere at the Festival de Cannes) smashed box office records upon its debut in South Korea, where fans are already making return viewings to catch new clues and debate what’s sure to be the most talked-about ending of 2016.
