"Horrortober 2022 Day 27
“When you go fishing, do you always know what you’re going to drag out?”
The Wailing is one of the best films I’ve seen out of this whole Horrortober challenge and one I had the most fun with. If someone told me this is one of the best south Korean horror films of this past decade I don’t think I could even argue the point. This is a very complex ambiguous story that you have to pay full attention or you may become lost in it. There is also shades of dark humor I wasn’t expecting. It’s very epic mysterious crazy gore infested emotionally draining tense supernatural horror film. In my opinion this film should be talked about more because it was that good. I like demonic possession films a lot it’s a actually one of my favorite horror sub genres. I think it’s because “The Exorcist “ was the first horror film I saw as a child to really have an affect on me. In all honesty I believe I slept with the lights on that night no joke.

This is more of a supernatural thriller than a horror film. There are some tense moments to be sure, but nothing that frightening about it - until the end. It does have a solidly creepy finale, and some good twists and turns in the story. But the main character is extremely unlikable and the overall film is longer than it really needs to be. Meh."
"This was an interesting Korean horror film!!! The acting was unique and a bit bizarre, but it all added to the overall vibe of the film. This film is full of plot twists and turns, yes it starts off a bit slow and intense but the build up is all worth it!!! I. Surprised I haven't seen this movie sooner!"
"Probably my favorite horror movie. Slow and chilling"
