The Wailing : Slow burner or intense from beginning to end?

Slow burner or intense from beginning to end?

Thinking about watching this with someone, but that someone doesn't like slow burners that much.

Re: Slow burner or intense from beginning to end?

I'm watching it now on Netflix. It's not a slow burner at all.

Re: Slow burner or intense from beginning to end?

It's kind of a slow burner, albeit a somewhat unconventional one. Something is always happening. Something is always trying to work the emotions of the viewer. Not a lot of time is spent on the mundane, as the first 3rd of the movie focuses on the investigation, the 2nd is based around the counter-attack and the 3rd is based around the last stand.

It is long though, so maybe that's why it might seem a little slow.

I wasn't sure at first as, for me, it was almost comedic during the first third of the film. But I would say it's a slow burner and it gets darker and more twisted as it goes on and is worth the watching! :)

Absolutely a slow burner. I love Korean films, but I had to take a break from this one early on. When I went back to it, I watched it through. And it gets much better.
