TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

For his ceremony scene, actor Hwang Jung-min filmed for 15 minutes without break. It was one long-take scene.

According to director Na Hong-jin, this movie was made on the basis of folk religions in Korea and Nepal and on Catholic faiths.

Exorcism scenes by the Japanese Man stem from Shamanism in Nepal.

No higher animals (the worm in the beginning is per definition not a higher animal) were harmed for the making of this movie. The animal scenes were done after consulting with animal trainers and under observation. The film also had a staff for VFX.

The Wailing is Jun Kunimura's first Korean film in his 35-year acting career.

Popular Dialogues

Il-Gwang: If you go fishing, do you know what you'll catch? Jong-Goo: No. Il-Gwang: He's just fishing. Not even he knows what he'll catch. He just threw out the bait, and your daughter took it."

"Il-Gwang: Not everything that moves, breathes, and talks is alive."
