Felipe D Bonzinho mas prometeu muito e não entregou nada, filme médio Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/15/25 Full Review Brandon S One of the most boring, predictable, & cheesy horror/mystery movies ever made. Nothing was scary and I had trouble staying awake. All the so called frightening scenes offered nothing of value to expect from a horror movie. The half naked Japanese guy scenes were overtly cheesy. I am at a lost why anyone liked this horrible movie. That being said I turned it off after 1 hour through, is the remainder going to redeem the lame 1st hour, should I keep watching or if I dislike it already not even bother? So I kept watching and realized it is a masterpiece haha! I started understanding the humor and how it set you up for the extreme horror. Genius of a movie! Really a fun and wild watch. Changed my review from 1 star to 5 by finishing it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Sergio A A horror film that runs over two and a half hours must be fully confident in the strength of its vision, and The Wailing certainly is. It keeps you hooked from start to finish, though often in a frustrating way: you’re exasperated by the choices some characters make, yet you desperately want them to survive. And that’s exactly what a great horror film should do: involve you, unsettle you, and frighten you. It’s a film that plays with the audience, manipulating and dragging them through a spectrum of emotions. Undoubtedly, a bold and brilliantly executed piece of work. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review John W A good film, though not as good as the reviews suggest. The atmosphere and mood of the film are awesome. However, the police officers seemed a little too incompetent at times. In the version I watched, there were no subtitles for the most crucial dialogue in the film. You could only see this part in the original Japanese, which annoyed me. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Richard B I had to stop this one when the bad guy was already caught early on and the stupid cops let him destroy the copious evidence. The photography is excellent, but that doesn't make a great movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Gonzalo T The Wailing begins with the tone of a dark comedy, luring you into a false sense of ease—then slowly unravels into something far more sinister. There are no cheap jump scares here; just a masterfully controlled descent into nightmarish chaos. The imagery is savage, the tension relentless, and by the end, I had goosebumps like I hadn't felt since the golden age of truly terrifying horror. It feels like the work of someone haunted—possibly since childhood—by deeply unsettling visions. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
