The story basically follows a police officer as he deals with all of these wild events that occur around his village that start to affect his family. 5/5
Just watched this. Really killer, and creepy as hell flick. One of the things I really like about SK filmmakers is that they don't pay attention to running time. If they need 2.5 hours to tell their story they do it. Obviously SK audiences are just fine with it too - I don't think I've watch a single SK movie that was under 2 hours.

That being said I think The Wailing would have been better if they left 15-20 minutes on the cutting room floor. It got bogged down a number of times.

Still an extremely sinister and unique movie that's well done on every level.

4/5
