The Wailing (2016)

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.

The strange presence of a mystery Japanese guy in a small Korean town, tightly knit by superstition and religious beliefs, counteracts a string of catastrophic crimes of intense devotion that perplex local law enforcement officials. The investigating detective, Jong-goo, removes himself from the tragedy but is forced to look further when his daughter exhibits symptoms of the same sickness that preceded the chaos. 'The Wailing' is masterful storytelling at its finest, reinforcing the claim about Korean films being flawlessly conveyed. Na Hong-jin transports viewers into a deep and convoluted vortex of suspense and tense drama that leaves you perplexed and heartbroken. This movie is fantastic.
