It must have been a bad year for Korean films because I watched The Wailing on Netflix and was not all that impressed with it. Not very scary and pretty predictable:
“The Wailing,” a supernatural thriller, was named best film of 2016 by an association of South Korean film journalists Wednesday.
Na Hong-jin was chosen best director for the tense drama which features a tranquil rural village embroiled in mysterious serial murders after the arrival of a stranger.
The movie, whose original Korean title is “Goksung,” stars Kwak Do-won, Chun Woo-hee and Hwang Jung-min. Since its premiere at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, it has been invited to even more international film festivals. In South Korea, it attracted 6.8 million viewers. [Yonhap]
Anyone else see The Wailing and think it was the top movie of 2016?
