The Wailing2016

One word: Amazing. The Wailing is mind blowing and I'm filled with awe. It's too early to say, but it's the best movie I've seen this year. Smart, twisted and menacing. The last 10 minutes gave me goosebumps; and that sequence on shaman ritual is priceless. I don't think I could easily sleep - because I want to keep on thinking and talking about this movie. We're familiar with the horror genre - there are so many of them and they come in different shapes and sizes - but they didn't prepare me for this - I'm utterly speechless. I'm floored that my brain was made to work over time because this movie was such a puzzle and I wanted to solve it. *The Wailing *played with crime and investigative drama, reminiscent of Se7en and Memories of Murder, and some elements of horror, like this year's The Witch (but more brilliant and scary) and the malevolence of *The Exorcist. *Just like the characters of this film, sometimes we think we know things but we have no idea.
