I started into this with ambitions of Memories of a Murder, but as soon as red eyes popped on the screen, I knew The Wailing wasn’t quite the realistic South Korean revenge thriller I envisaged. Instead, I got something closer to the always-underrated Angel Heart mixed with Dawn of the Dead and Oni Baba—a super natural ghost hunt/exorcism with a hell of a lot of symbology to boot. It’s also remarkably funny at points (at least in the first half)…
