Despite an endless stream of new horrors, which tend to perform well across all media, 2016’s The Wailing is currently leaving everything behind, even though it has been almost a decade since it debuted on the silver screen.

A 9-Year-Old Horror Movie With 99% Rt Score Rises High on Max Streaming Charts
Image
The horror genre has always been popular, as it's one of the most prolific and diverse genres, with multiple subgenres and varieties. While Hollywood has released a series of iconic horrors, foreign markets have produced excellent originals that are often overlooked or remade.

One such example is The Wailing. The South Korean horror is extremely overlooked, despite receiving high praise and becoming one of the biggest hits of the year in its release country. Nine years later, The Wailing is now making a huge impact on the charts on Max, FlixPatrol reveals.

The Wailing is currently No. 2 in the charts worldwide, just behind Robert De Niro's new gangster drama The Alto Knights. It beat titles like How to Train Your Dragon 2, Micky 17, and Mountainhead, the new Steve Carell film from Succession creator.

The Wailing premiered on June 15 on Max, and it started topping the charts instantly all over Central and South America.

If you like Squid Game, The 8 Show on Netflix is surprisingly similar
Image
For the past two decades, South Korean cinema has been in the spotlight of international attention. Indisputably, some of the best Korean films and shows are award-winners, and of course, focus on social issues.

Most of its cinematic themes are noted to be based on social stratification, social class issues, and the intensifying gap between the rich and poor. An obvious cinematic interweaving of social loss, inequality, and violence is getting a worldwide laud.

Apart from Parasite, the winner of Best Picture at the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020, Squid Game and The 8 Show are the famed shows that are surprisingly similar. The similarities are undeniable.

While watching The 8 Show, I myself got Squid Game’s vibes right from the first episode. There were eight contestants in a game show who were constantly being watched by some unseen spectators unknown to them. We get into those similarities below!

The brand-new Korean drama on Netflix is all about a satirical take on the reality television shows audiences watch on all kinds of small screens. It is a genre of television that brings out the voyeuristic side of people who find fun in peeping into the lives of the contestants who take part in these shows. The whole point of a reality show is to have cameras around the contestant that record their daily shenanigans. The 8 Show is a satirical take on it, and the makers bring in characters with several traits that are ideal for the reality show they had seemingly joined to gain money.

Jin-Su (Third Floor)

Ryu Jun-yeol, as Bae Jin-su, is the central character of The 8 Show. This show begins with his plight of lacking the financial means to close a debt. Bae Jin-Su is a typical young man with no prospects of living a lavish life.

‘The 8 Show’ Review: A Satirical Take On Reality Television Shows That Falls Flath

There are plenty of reality television shows that Netflix produces and they are going global by coming out with reality television shows in many languages. Amidst all of this is Netflix Korea, which is churning out many shows in the reality television genre. Squid Game is the most popular of the lot, and that drew the attention of the world towards Korean culture rather than the world-class cinema the makers of the country churned out. Single’s Inferno, Physical: 100, Squid Game: The Challenge, The Devil’s Plan, Love after Divorce, and Love Naggers are some of the Netflix Korean reality shows. While some are good, others are abysmal. Clubbing elements of all these reality television shows together, Han Jae-rim brings The 8 Show, a brand new Netflix Korea original show that was released on May 17, 2024.

The 8 Show is an eight-episode-long show with a runtime of 35 to 40 minutes each episode.

Image
"But don't you think it's too dangerous?" Of course not! Netflix has revealed a teaser trailer for a new game show dark comedy series called The 8 Show, from filmmaker Korean filmmaker Han Jae-rim. This series plays like a mashup between The Platform and Squid Game - another clever metaphor for capitalism and how awful it really is.

Eight contestants in financial hardship take part in Money Game, a reality competition with 44.8 billion Korean won up for grabs.

The Wailing Ending Explained: A Father's Final Fatal Failure
Image
The 2016 South Korean horror film "The Wailing" is a roller coaster ride with enough twists and turns to keep even the most experienced movie watcher guessing. Set in the small mountain village of Gokseong, the movie follows bumbling police officer Jong-goo (Kwak Do-won) as he tries to solve the mystery of an infection that causes people to become mentally unwell and kill their loved ones. The infection and its effects are horrifying enough, but then Jong-goo's daughter Hyo-jin (Kim Hwan-hee) becomes stricken with the same infection. Desperate to save his daughter, Jong-goo will do just about anything, delving into solutions both spiritual and mundane. He recruits the help of his friends, co-workers, and a local shaman named Il-gwang (Hwang Jung-min), but it seems like the evil descending on Gokseong is too much for anyone to stop.

The ending of "The Wailing" is a horrific tragedy that offers possible explanations for...

'McFarland, USA' will close out 30th annual Santa Barbara Film Festival
Israel (2013)
A self-acknowledged "showcase for Academy Award frontrunners," the Santa Barbara International Film Festival is often overlooked for the actual films that earn it festival status. An amalgamation of international discoveries and ’merica’s circuit highlights, the Sbiff curates a week of best-of-the-best to pair with their star-praising. The 2015 edition offers another expansive selection, bookended by two films that aren’t on any radars just yet. Sbiff will open with "Desert Dancer," producer Richard Raymond’s directorial debut. Starring Reece Ritchie and Frieda Pinto, the drama follows a group of friends who wave off the harsh political climate of Iran’s 2009 presidential election in favor of forming a dance team, picking up moves from Michael Jackson, Gene Kelly and Rudolf Nureyev thanks to the magic of YouTube. The festival will close with "McFarland, USA," starring Kevin Costner and Maria Bello. Telling the 1987 true story of a Latino high school’s underdog cross-country team,...

Fantasia Review: Award-Winning South Korean Indie 'Han Gong-Ju' Is Damaged And Beautiful
Looking over the Fantasia Film Festival guide, one quote in the “Han Gong-ju” section is conspicuous. Martin Scorsese calls the film “outstanding,” noting its "mise-en-scene, image, sound, and performance.” Last December, in his capacity as Jury President of the Marrakech Film Festival, presiding over a group including Marion Cotillard, Fatih Akin, and Park Chan-wook among others, Scorsese awarded Su-jin Lee’s debut feature film the top prize, and has been championing it ever since. When arguably the biggest cinema geek of all time (no offense to Quentin Tarantino) backs a movie with such praise, one tends to pay attention. But we find ourselves in the peculiar position where we disagree with one of the greatest living filmmakers regarding just how outstanding this film really is. “Han Gong-ju” opens with a girl’s voiceover stating how she hears music in every sound. The voice belongs to Han Gong-ju (Woo-hee Chun), a student transferring to a new.
