SETTHUURAMAN S @RT75273163 2d This was a pure joke. I don’t know what these reviewers are smoking on but y’all are on something else. The whole time I was watching, I was trying to understand the situation. Yes, I am not familiar with the cultural significance and beliefs… however, that shouldn’t be a gateway to throw a nothing burger on the viewers and let people make assumptions off of it. It wasn’t scary, disturbing nor clever. I only completed it because at that point I just wanna know if there’s any saving factor. ALL THAT FOR THAT ENDING? THIS WAS BAD AND IM SO UPSET. Great actors tho cuz if i knew that was the script I wouldn’t be on the set. It’s ok to say it’s a bad movie when it is. THIS WAS A HORRIBLE FILM AND ITS OKAY TO SAY IT See more Paul S @PaulIsAll Aug 15 Utter dogsh*t. Plot twists make absolutely zero sense and I'm left wondering how it's possible that this movie was ever made, let alone why there are people on this planet that highly recommend it. Proof I'll never understand reality. See more Angel C @RT52825895 Aug 15 Sitting through 2.5 hours is already a considerable investment of time and attention, but The Wailing never feels interested in giving anything back for it. Instead, the reward is snobbery dressed up as profundity: an absurdly intricate web of metaphors, religious imagery and deliberate ambiguity, all leading into a labyrinth that eventually feels like even the filmmaker has forgotten the way out. It mistakes obscurity for depth and confusion for intellectual sophistication. It breaks the basic pact of horror: the protagonist does everything he can, fights like hell, and still gets crushed by a ridiculous and inevitable cosmic trap. That isn’t tragedy, it’s a cheap resource and unreasonably depriving the audience from any reward. See more Jonathan J @jonjondotcom1312 Jul 20 Hilarious. Stressful. Thrilling. Horrifying. Mind-bending. The way the story and the stress builds is peak.

I wasn't sure where the film was going in the first half but it got SO good. One of the best horror movies of all time See more Read all reviews
