“When you watch or read a detective or a horror story, there’s always an invisible line of stupidity that the protagonist/detective/meat puppet cannot cross before you stop wanting to suspend your disbelief. South Korean horror-mystery hybrid “The Wailing” crosses that line several times, but somehow remains effectively atmospheric. ” – Roger Ebert
“Korean cinema has a new genre maestro to succeed Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho. His The Chaser (2008) and The Yellow Sea (2010) flagged up a natural instinct for propulsive narratives – but Na Hong-jin lets this intensity drag him over the brink of an abyss of fear and superstition in his new rural-horror The Wailing.” – The Guardian
