17) The Wailing (2016)

This South Korean horror film, helmed by Na Hong-jin, delves into sinister, enigmatic forces, delivering a bone-chilling, supernatural atmosphere that hits just as hard as Eggers’ gripping version of the vampire myth. In a distant village plagued by inexplicable deaths and violent outbursts, The Wailing (2016) spins a compelling story of ancient folklore, possession, and the terrifying unknown. The ominous tone is set from the start with extended, atmospheric shots, minimal conversation, and a steady crescendo of horror.
