Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Wailing (2016)

In a small Korean town, a few incidents of formerly mild people becoming violent killers occur and Jong-Goo is one of the police officers sent to investigate. The cops soon focus in on a new-to-town Japanese man who has an occult-type set-up in his home. When Jong-Goo's own daughter becomes sick, he hires a shaman to cure her but knows that may not be enough.

Maybe this was good and it was my white inability to quickly distinguish the players that was at fault here. I mean, I know that was an issue (when they spoke of the Japanese man, I didn't know which one that was for quite a while), but I am pretty sure it wasn't the only issue. Basically, I was confused at times but, mostly, I was just bored.
