Semi-sequel to 2015's THE PRIESTS, though it has no carry over characters that I'm aware of, follows two nuns who get involved with the exorcism of a teen who is said to be possessed by a demon known as the 12 manifestions.
This is a creepy little horror film that overcomes any problems by the mixture of Asian and Western religios tropes (it's not just catholics, but also shaman as well) to keep us off balance, and well as some kick as characters, especially Sister Yunia (Song Hye-kyo) who maybe the most bad ass exorcist ever put on film. Seriously, I want to know what her back story is.
While the film isn't perfect, some of the link sequences between set pieces are not as compelling as the bigger sequences, the film still is haunting, with the performances and technical aspects of the film coming together to create moments you will always remember (I love the firey images).
The best thing I can say about the film is that I would gladly watch a sequel, when and if it ever materializes.
Recommended.
