곡성 vs 꼭성

The Korean title of The Wailing, 곡성, is an important element in setting the appropriate scene for the film, as well as bringing the director Na Hong-jin’s lived experience. Gokseong is a county situated in the southern part of the Korean peninsula in Jeollanam-do where, till this day, has been free of industrial influence. Na Hong-jin spent a large part of his childhood visiting Gokseong where his grandmother resided. During personal interviews, Hong-jin referenced his memory of the serene landscape that portrayed a feeling of living nature and high spirituality.

Possession VS Zombie

According to Hisup Shin, author of “Monstrous National Allegory: The Making of Monstrous Otherness in Na Hong-jin’s The Wailing” the film differs from the popularized genre we see today. He states, “In contrast to the genre convention of mass contagion and apocalyptic narrative, the zombie sequence in the film from symptoms of infection/possession to zombification is a supernatural mystery that resonates with the spiritual or physical effects of horror. There is also no indication of establishing the social or symbolic meaning of zombification by linking it to any type of man-made errors.” The distinction Hisup Shin makes here is accurate, however, he continues to group The Wailing into the zombie genre. There is a distinct difference between zombies and those who are possessed, and the film should be categorized in the occult genre. To understand why, it is important to analyze the differences between a zombie and one who is possessed.
