Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

paulclaassen This was actually really scary at times, and later quite disturbing as the possession intensified. I did find it a bit slow moving somewhere around the mid point, but it was still interesting, though. The ending is awesome! It gets really exciting with a possessed pig, police chase, cars crashing left, right and center, and a priest running out of time. Wow!

Michael Ledo Father Kim has been conducting exorcisms in Seoul, no pun intended. He has gone through a number of assistants and they are down to candidates from seminary school. Deacon Choi has been asked to be the next one, having a loose list of qualifications, one is being born in the year of the tiger. There was also been a question of molestation and in addition to assisting Kim, he also must spy on him.While this is a serious exorcism film, it does have many light moments. The dialogue was good, in spite of the English dubbing. The Korean culture comes through as we see a shaman with an ox head strapped to his back attempt an exorcism. In one scene as they prepare for an exorcism and take communion, Father Kim quips to Choi that he could have bought a better wine. It was that type of humor that was in much of the feature. I don't believe this is an "everyone" film due to the dubbing and length, as some may find it difficult to sit through.No swearing, sex, or nudity. There is a Korean option with English subtitles, or just plain English, with the opening monologue still being in Korean with English subtitles.

kosmasp Every movie that has exorcisms in it, has the "problem" that it will be compared with The Exorcist. There's no way around it, but if you can try to keep an open mind. I don't know if this is actually the very first South Korean exorcism film or not. What I do know though, is the quality is very high.The acting, the set up and the scenes are very powerful. This can stand on its own, which is quite impressive. The horror that you get is quite impressive, especially if you consider that we have seen a lot of movies trying this. Cinematography and script are really good and I can recommend this, if you like horror movies

Paul Magne Haakonsen When I saw that there was an exorcism-themed movie out from South Korea, I was more than hooked. I didn't know who had directed it or even who starred in it. I do like Asian cinema quite a lot, and South Korean movies tend to be quite good.And such was also the case with "The Priests" (aka "Geomeun sajedeul"). While it does have a story that has been seen countless of times before in other similar movies, then director Jae-Hyun Jang still managed to keep the movie interesting and entertaining.Little needs to be said about the story here; a young girl is possessed by a demonic entity, and it is up to two priests to perform an exorcism, banish the demonic entity and thus saving the life of the young girl.It is the way that the movie is built up that works quite well, because we get to discover things about the priests along the way, showing that they are but humans as well, and then slowly, but surely, director Jae-Hyun Jang guides the audience towards the exorcism itself.It strikes me as a movie that didn't have the biggest of budgets, but still they managed to utilize everything to the fullest potential and come up with a rather impressive and entertaining movie nonetheless.And while the movie is not boasting a myriad of CGI and special effects that would put Hollywood to shame, the special effects crew did manage to make the necessary effects seem good and come off as being realistic. A feat which really added depth to the movie.The acting in the movie was good as well. Although I can't really claim to be familiar with the talents who were acting in this 2015 movie.While "The Priests" is not a groundbreaking movie to make it out of South Korea, it is still an entertaining movie that is well-worth watching. My rating of "The Priests" is a solid six out of ten stars easily.
