THE WAILING

"'The Wailing' is the hard stuff. Handle with care." -Glenn Kenny, The New York Times

"Something like the most gruesome and gripping Scandinavian crime drama you can imagine, transported to a rain-sodden Asian backwater where everyone's in a bad mood and science, religion and superstition are locked in uneasy combat." -Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

The arrival of a mysterious stranger in a quiet rural village causes suspicion amongst the villagers--but as they begin killing each other for no apparent reason, that suspicion turns to panic. When the daughter of the investigating officer falls under the same savage spell, he calls in a shaman to assist in finding the culprit. Mythic, epic, stunning.
