A rural policeman tries to understand a strange illness spreading through his village. The Wailing was released in 2016.
A slow-burning horror that keeps changing shape, then leaves you with nowhere comfortable to stand.
What makes The Wailing a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
