This film is a monument to cinematic emptiness. The plot is as flimsy as it is pretentious — a meandering mess of incoherent events stitched together under the illusion of depth. There's no real story, no emotional grip, and certainly no payoff worth the two and a half hours of your life you’ll never get back. Dialogue? Nearly nonexistent — and thank God for that. Because the rare times these characters open their mouths, I found myself genuinely wanting to slap them on the mouth just to make them shut up again. Their lines are either painfully idiotic or dripping with the kind of pseudo-spiritual nonsense that thinks it's saying something profound… but isn’t. The film is bloated with scenes and details that serve no purpose other than to inflate the runtime and test the audience’s patience. It drags and drags, like a bad dream that forgot to end. It doesn't build tension — it builds fatigue. If you gave this film a high rating, you’re either lying to look clever or you’ve mistaken boredom for brilliance. Either way, The Wailing is the cinematic equivalent of watching wet paint dry — while someone whispers nonsense in your ear and expects you to find it profound. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Will M Absolutely beautifully shot, beautiful scenery, was engaged and entertained throughout the whole movie. Interesting story and well acted. I'll more than likely watch this a second time this week. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review Jigar S The direction and Acting are Good. But the Writing only depends heavily on the old and hush hush story of grandma of demons and zombies, which doesn't go anywhere in the end. This story will make you bore like impossible ( I can't even describe how I holded up my eyelids during watching it), will make sure to give you sleep. It is heavily depended on cultural and religious beliefs and non beliefs of korea and doesn't focus on the story. People have given this too much good review. Its not worth for this. Maybe people liked the acting, direction and religious, cultural references and didn't cared about a BAD written Story. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Damian S Honestly, it starts of with 2 hours of random Acts it almost feels like. It didnt leave any mental impact, but the 30 minute finale changed the entire movie. Never did I feel so pressured by a movie and doubted myself that hard. The almost random feeling buildup makes sense and everything hits at once. One of the best movies I've ever watched. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
