- I need to do a review of The Wailing next, and I'm thinking of doing a Marvel marathon in chronological order.
this movie hurts, man. cause everything about this movie is awesome. from the sound design, production, performances...everything is fkin' magnifique. it's just that ending, man. that ending ruins everything for me and i'm sure it did for a lot of people too.

If the ending ruined it for you then you were not paying attention at all throughout the movie. Did you even take a second to think about the hints scattered throughout the dialogue??
I just don't agree. I loved this movie. When I first watched it I also disliked that it felt like it hand fed you the narrative but it really didn't . The whole point of the final act is that even though the big bad is gone there is still a lingering threat that no one can escape form. It's about the influence that Longleg's had and Lee's mom made a deal with the Devil that she needed to continue to act out even without Longlegs present. Lee wasn't even able to finish off the last doll because you can't get rid of evil, it will always be present even when you know where it comes from. Everyone is after Longlegs because he is assumed to be the killer, It's very Charles Manson with his followers. I feel like there is so much messaging in this movie that you can't just handwave the movie because of the ending. It's all been thought out and with purpose. Genius in my opinion.
I ultimately left feeling unscared and disappointed about that tbh since all the marketing did SUCH an amazing job of hiding everything in mystery and being genuinely scary with the sound design and scene's used.
That being said, as a NON "horror movie" and more of a "Thriller Detective(/Supernatural twist)" movie, I enjoy it more when I don't think of it as a horror movie. It's shot beautifully in a cinematography scence. The actors did an amazing job (The only scene Nick disappointed me in was where he covers his eyes and does the "cukoo" to the girl behind the counter. The trailers made it seem like she was about to die horribly lol)
I also was unfortunate enough to leave and use the restroom RIGHT as Lee and the FBI agent go to check on her mom and the mom shotguns the FBI agent and only got back when Lee woke up. Which was apparently the highlight of the movie so I'll have to re-watch it.
Overall still a GOOD movie, but I don't reallllyyyyy consider it "Horror"? More suspenseful and atmospheric if anything.
The bye bye man v2
Your background music is very distracting.
Most horror is destroyed by end of movie. Its like the saying by many prominent figures thru out history from Roosevelt to Churchill that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. We humans can lighten up darkness.....as long as we know what we are up against. Some viewers will complain when fed what is going on by movies end. We also have opposite end where some viewers will complain when the ending gives no insight at all to what is going on.
I thought it was decent. 6.5 out of 10 works for me.
They way that they delved into the occult was SO cheesy and kinda ruined it for me. If they had chosen to do a little bit more research to make it less corny, it would have made it feel a lot more real. Hereditary did that SO well in my option. It just felt like they were a lot more focused on the character of Longlegs that everything else just fell short.
Don’t get me wrong, the acting and cinematography was great. But it was so disappointing otherwise, especially from a horror perspective. It feels a lot like these new “horror” movies coming out are really just suspenseful thrillers with a few horror bits thrown in here and there, and it gets old.
I agree!! But I will admit not too many ppl agree with me and I’m a horror fanatic.
You are disappointing.
