In this unbelievably tense supernatural thriller, a foreigner's mysterious appearance in a quiet, rural village causes suspicion among the locals - suspicion which quickly turns to hysteria as the townspeople begin killing each other in brutal outbursts for seemingly no reason. As the investigating officer watches his daughter fall under the same savage spell, he agrees to consult a shaman for answers - unknowingly escalating the situation into something far more dangerous. Over six years in the making, director Na Hong-jin's meticulously crafted follow-up to the globally acclaimed THE YELLOW SEA and THE CHASER (his third to premiere at the Festival de Cannes) smashed box office records upon its debut in South Korea, where fans are already making return viewings to catch new clues and debate what's sure to be the most talked-about ending of 2016.

Hodnocení a recenze

I downloaded this movie because somehow it was recommended to me. I didn't watch it for 6 months until one day I was bored so I started it and played scrabble simultaneously. The beginning was kind of hokey and I didn't know where it was going but around the halfway mark I had abandoned scrabble and put my phone down and was glued to the screen. Give it time folks. It really is worth the wait. I can see why it was recommended to me.

A story about a group of dumb villagers who'll believe anything because they're miserable and gullible. A long dragged out story about the devil and demons that was interesting at first until it was annoying to see the sheer stupidity of these characters.

decent twist at the end with shamans, a bad spirit, etc. 30 mins. later you'll 4get the whole movie. Acting was good but waay too much cursing.The f-word in nearly every sentence.. ugh
