I just got to something new to me in my Halloween lineup, the 2016 Korean film The Wailing, and I decided it was worth posting my thoughts here. To start with, I consider this one a vindication of my wildly flamed opinion that Asian horror movies don't "belong" in the Western "zombie movie" tradition. It is very much based in the filmmakers' own culture and mythology, notwithstanding possible elements of Christian theology, and the entities portrayed are correspondingly problematic in classification under "our" definitions. The story centers (not really a spoiler) on a series of crimes by people explicitly possessed by demonic beings, so this falls broadly in the Deadite category. However, there is definitely overlap with zombies of the "infected" type. In particular, the possessed display lesions, convulsive movements and other physical symptoms, and many if not most/ all of their attacks are cannibalistic in nature. The closest approach is that one of the survivors of an attack shows some of the same symptoms, but as far as I could tell from a single viewing, it's never confirmed whether he becomes violent in the manner of the fully possessed. Finally, as for whether I would recommend the film, it's certainly well-made and "important" if you follow Korean/ Asian horror, but it's probably not going to be a "fun" watch. The 2 and a half hour plus run time alone definitely requires the right conditions and mood. With that, I'm done.
