Full Plot Details

In the small village Goksung in South Korea, police officer Jong-Goo investigates bizarre murders caused by a mysterious disease. His partner relays gossip that a Japanese stranger, who lives in a secluded house in the mountains, would be an evil spirit responsible for the illness. Jong-Goo decides to visit the stranger along with his partner and a young priest who speaks Japanese. They find an altar with a goat head, pictures on the walls of the infected people that died, and an attacking guard dog that prevents their departure until the stranger arrives. Jong-Goo finds one shoe of his beloved daughter, Hyo-jin, in the house of the stranger, and soon she becomes sick. His mother-in-law summons the shaman Il-gwang to save her granddaughter while a mysterious woman tells Jong-Goo that the stranger is responsible. Who might be the demon that is bringing sickness to Goksung?

Movie Reviews

CineVue - 10/10 by Martyn ConterioNot only is the film a compellingly told tale of suspense and terror, but it's crafted with such precision and sense of timing that one can cry "Masterpiece!" without being shamefaced or wondering if a hyperbole-induced crime against all good sense has just been committed.
Smells Like Screen Spirit - 10/10 by Chase WhaleA nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat wallop, The Wailing is the most frightening movie of the year.
Cinemanía (Spain) - 10/10 by Rubén Romero SantosA lesson of classic cinema, script, composition of planes, use of the sound and photography that rubs the perfection. [Full review in Spanish]
Guardian - 10/10 by Phil HoadThe layers of dissembling and self-dissembling pile up so thickly that not only does Na evidently touch on something integral about the nature of evil, but actually seems to be in the process of summoning it before your eyes.
Salon.com - 10/10 by Andrew O'HehirForget the inflated Trumpian moral dilemmas of "Superman" and "Captain America." The summer’s most powerful and most disturbing thriller has arrived, in the form of an intensely atmospheric Korean movie called The Wailing.
Examiner.com - 10/10 by Chris SawinThe Wailing is a soon to be discovered gem that is riveting, brilliantly written, impeccably acted, and masterfully filmed. The Wailing is without a doubt one of the year's best films.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 9/10 by Tim BraytonAs great as any horror movie of the 2010s to date.
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Bill GoodykoontzI love movies like The Wailing. Na Hong-jin’s film is like a genre buffet, with horror as the main course, but a hearty helping of mystery, crime drama, black comedy and family relations on the menu, as well. Don’t forget the side dishes of religion, superstition and ritual. It’s a full meal.
Brooklyn Magazine - 9/10 by Keith Uhlichthere's real beauty and devastation in the film's finale, as the harrowing father-daughter relationship reaches its apex
Screen International - 9/10 by Jason BechervaiseNa’s screenplay takes viewers to the root of evil in a manner that subverts expectations and cleverly manipulates cause and effect at almost every turn.
