The Wailing

Kwak Do-won, Hwang Jung-min, and Chun Woo-hee feature in The Wailing, a 2016 South Korean horror film directed by Na Hong-jin and starring Kwak Do-won, Hwang Jung-min, and Chun Woo-hee. In order to save his daughter, a police officer investigates a series of inexplicable homicides and illnesses in the secluded Korean town of Gokseong. The picture was a critical and economic triumph.

While not precisely a zombie film, "The Wailing" from South Korea employs zombie tropes and a zombie-like virus in its chilling tale of a little hamlet that goes to hell in a handbasket after the arrival of a mysterious visitor. A virus spreads quickly once the stranger arrives, and the people begin murdering one another. Sgt. Jeon Jong-gu must discover what is going on and put a stop to it, especially after his little daughter, Hyo-jin, is infected. Talk of ghosts, exorcisms, and other supernatural horrors, including a scary zombie onslaught, are all part of the deal. It's a kitchen sink of monstrosities with a long runtime, but "The Wailing" is well worth the trek to discover what's gone wrong.
