Reviews


100
Salon - Andrew O'Hehir
Forget 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.
90
Screen International - Unnamed
Na’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.
88
Slant Magazine - Chuck Bowen
Na Hong-jin's The Wailing is a work of thriller maximal-ism, a rare case of more actually being more rather than less.
83
The Playlist - Nikola Grozdanovic
The film is a bullet train of laughs, gore, frights and folklore, making the two-and-a-half hour runtime feel like a couple of minutes. Blink and you might miss the whole thing.
83
The Film Stage - Zhuo-Ning Su
Designed and choreographed with stupendous pizzazz, it’s an explosion of colors, noises, and murderous zest that floods the senses, reminding you in a (skipped) heartbeat how frightfully entertaining these supposedly artless horror flicks can be.
