The Wailing (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Driven into insidious chaos
The deviously overwhelming chaos in South Korean film “The Wailing” disturbed and frightened me. The movie lured me as setting the ground under its unnerving mood, and then it grabbed me tight as going wild with its genre elements, and … Continue reading
