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 Lila L. Great twist but main character wasn’t likeable to me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Audience Member The movie is really interesting and gets you hooked. The direction was really amazing. Evil people really do exist. But, they should have portrayed the good side dominant. The girl in white clothes did not help much. She did not even say who she is. Anyways, demons are cursed. Destroying and murdering beautiful families...

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.
