Father Kim and a rebellious young seminarian named Choi believe that she is possessed by an evil spirit. Director: Jang Jae-hyun Young-shin was a member of Father Kim’s congregation when he was a priest of a church in the countryside, and it is partly their history that compels him to take matters into his own hands when the other members of his flock disapprove of his intentions to conduct an exorcism for Young-shin for fear of spooking the public. After getting involved in a hit-and-run accident, a girl named Young-shin suffers from various inexplicable phenomenons… Father Kim (KIM Yoon-seok) is a renegade priest who is shunned by the church for breaking rules and codes of conduct over the years.

When they try to free her from the demon’s powerful hold, they realize that this nameless evil is far more dangerous than they ever thought. Father Kim and a rebellious young seminarian named Choi believe that she is possessed by an evil spirit. This movie has quite the low rating on MDL, and if I were to guess the reason, it's probably because of people's expectations. Two priests have to find out if a young girl was attacked by an evil spirit or human molester in order to save her life. Add the first question. Digging deep into Roman Catholic theology to deliver a largely accurate depiction of the oft-misunderstood ritual, Jang delivers a tense and frequently edge-of-your-seat gripping portrait of the eternal fight between light and darkness, a theme which he also similarly explored in his award-winning 2014 short ‘12th Assistant Deacon’. Fully knowing that they may not walk out of there alive, they begin the dangerous ritual…. For the exorcism to be carried out successfully, Father Kim requires an assistant, someone who is witty, and bold. Opening Day: 7 January 2016 Father Kim tells him to believe this ministry isn't in vain and the reward is in the Lord’s hand (Isaiah 49:4). Cast: Kim Yoon-seok, Gang Dong-won, Park So-dam | Der Film basiert auf Jangs mit Kurzfilm 12th Assistant Deacon, der 2014 auf dem Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival als bester Film ausgezeichnet wurde. It is this frailty that the demon will exploit to taunt and scare him in the midst of the rite of exorcism, and Gang embodies his character’s transformation from fear to temerity with wide-eyed wonder and tenacity. A young girl who belongs to Father Kim’s parish becomes comatose after a hit-and-run accident. Despite being his feature filmmaking debut, Jang exhibits a strong grasp of mise-en-scene, especially with the contrast of light and dark in the film’s visuals. Father Kim and a rebellious young seminarian named Choi believe that she is possessed by an evil spirit. Once the preparation is complete, they walk into Young-shin’s bedroom. Despite everyone’s pleas, he decides to conduct one last exorcism on Young-shin and begins to make preparations. Nonetheless, the first hour remains a riveting watch, constructed with scenes to underscore the peril that Father Kim and Deacon Choi will soon find themselves in. For being the first of its kind, Jang deserves even more credit for successfully demonstrating how to ‘localise’ a genre that has never been associated with K-cinema or K-horror for that matter. 30 November 2015 Choi runs out with the pig, faces many obstructions but successfully drowns it in the river as instructed by Kim (Luke 8:33).
