Well Go USA is preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of Na Hong-jin's supernatural thriller The Wailing (2016). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on December 12.
Over six years in the making, director Na Hong-jin's meticulously crafted follow-up to the globally acclaimed films The Yellow Sea and The Chaser smashed box office records upon its debut in South Korea, where fans made many return viewings in order to catch new clues and debate what's sure to be the most talked-about ending of 2016.
The Wailing stars Kwak Do Won (The Man from Nowhere), Hwang Jung Min (New World), Kunimura Jun (Kill Bill: Vol: 1 & 2) and Chun Woo hee (The Beauty Inside). The film won the PRIX AQCC (Association québécoise des critiques de cinéma) at the 2016 Fantasia International Film Festival.
Official synopsis: 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.
