Incredibly engaging and entertaining horror film. I don't know if it needed to be 2 and a half hours, but The Wailing has so much sauce that it doesn't really bother me. So many memorable sequences and I just love the look of the whole thing. An epic of horror entertainment

There are some actual problems I have with the film narratively, but on the whole I'd regard this as a strong debut and easily the most underrated movie of Bong Joon Ho's filmography.

The first half of the movie in particular is just constant exposition and narration to the point where it really feels like Bong Joon Ho just doesn't really trust the audience. Thankfully, that takes a significant backseat in the…
