A story from Yeon Sang-ho that once again explores themes of faith, perception, and reality — yet this time dipping into the realm of I Saw The Devil-style revenge.

The horror scenes are all executed brilliantly. It definitely surpasses the first film, showcasing impeccable technique.

It believes its narrative is far stronger than it actually is and takes itself too seriously. While the result is grander and more visually striking, it still fails to leave a lasting impact.
