It's episode 208...it's started. You better brace yourself.

The Wailing (2016) tells the story of Jong-goo, a police chief investigating a series of grisly murders in rural Korea. The murders are apparently linked to a mysterious disease afflicting the local population, and some believe the cause to be a strange Japanese man who has moved to the area. It's one of the most captivating films we've covered in some time.

We talk sins, shame, shamans and charlatans, wonder how to spot the Devil and whether you should take him on one-on-one, discuss bodily fluids and genre fluidity, and ask the burning question at the heart of The Wailing - what exactly is going on?

All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?

Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Not everything that moves, breathes, and talks is alive.

Next week, it's time we head back to Derry in the year's biggest horror film: It: Chapter 2 (2019)
