Sinopsis(1)
La vida de un pueblo coreano es trastornada por una serie de asesinatos, salvajes y misteriosos, que azota por casualidad a la pequeña comunidad rural. Los rumores y las supersticiones se propagan a causa de la presencia, desde hace poco tiempo, de un anciano extranjero que vive como un ermita. Ante la incompetencia de la policía para encontrar al asesino y sin tener una explicación racional, algunos habitantes del pueblo buscan a un chamán. Jong-gu, un policía cuya familia está directamente amenazada, también cree que se trata de crímenes sobrenaturales. (La Aventura Audiovisual)

Reseñas (5)
Una incoherente mezcla de horas y media, muy típica para los surcoreanos, de comedia, drama familiar y sobre todo de terror, con demonios, chamanes, zombis, una chica poseída y mucha sangre. Sin embargo, la cantidad de grandes escenas individuales, como un todo, no puede tomarse en serio en absoluto, solo por los personajes que actúan como idiotas. Es una pena, porque tiene altos valores de producción y de los giros en el último tercio se siente una ambición de innovar en los clichés del género. [Cannes]

A richer horror sub-genre blend than I expected. That naked old man with blazing red eyes will probably haunt my dreams for a few days, thanks a lot! Perhaps it is overstuffed, there are so many motifs and evil or potentially evil entities that I’m not entirely sure that I got everything, but the overall impression is very positive nonetheless.

An interesting Korean genre mix where it pays to follow all the themes closely. Everything may not fit 100% as it should in the end (more accurately – as I imagined it would), but the overall impression of a fairly original crime drama with a distinct mystery atmosphere remains strong nonetheless. If its main investigator had a more in-depth (or more seriously) fleshed out character, it might even have made the cut. Indeed, at times I felt that some of the characters were caricatures of themselves, which I can't quite connect with. 3.5 stars

The Wailing definitely had the makings of an excellent film. The atmosphere, the village, the cast, a few funny moments in the beginning, and the odd case that the viewer is actually looking forward to solving. But the more supernatural it started to get, the more my hope for a solid script diminished. Then the red eyes, the shamans start showing up, and it ends up being a bit of a nonsensical mishmash. At least they managed to keep the suspense up. 3 stars.

A film as treacherous, captivating, cunning and unpredictable as the Devil himself. The Wailing is the perfect fulfilment of the basic horror principle that the most frightening thing is the loss of rational certainties, which is felt not only by the film’s characters, but primarily by its viewers.
