In this supernatural creeper set in 14th century Korea, a curse is killing the sons of the kingdom’s highest-ranking official. When the final son dies, his pregnant widow, Ok-bun, must face vicious family politics and the vengeful spirit descending on the household. A remake of 1986 Korean horror essential, Woman’s Wail, The Wrath is elegant horror with funhouse chills. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.

A evil Cinderella story.
Not bad!
Yeah it was pretty good the plot was pretty straightforward its a ghost slash possession movie. I found the specifics of things a little hard to follow but still got it, definitely spooky eerie and creepy with some good kills. Overall not bad at all Korean horror usually doesn't let me down too much.
BIG fan of Korean cinema in general,horror or otherwise,Park ChanWook is one of my all time favourite directors,& a period-piece like this is chicken soup for my soul. the Wrath is well directed,beautifully designed & shot,more than competently acted,but just didn't hit that sweet spot for me as i assumed it would.i didn't exactly feel short-changed,but also didn't feel satisfied like I'd eaten a wonderful meal,would not advise anyone to avoid this but personally would say this was slightly below average in plotting & execution,luckily when it comes to Korean cinema that average is very high!
Great watch!
