Exhuma - spirits, foxes and weird coffins

a.k.a always trust your guts if you're working with demons

A geomancer, a mortician and a pair of shamans are tasked to relocate a suspiciously located grave, and as often as these movies go, things go sideways.

One of the reasons why I decided to watch it was a supernatural element. And I'm happy to announce that they delivered on that front fully. It's moody and foggy; spirits, old secrets and the dense, dark forest weigh on you even through the screen.

(also it's not very dark in a metaphorical sense, so if you're only moderately squeamish about gore on screen, then you'll be fine)

I know almost nothing about Korean shamanic practices apart from what I see in movies and kdramas, but goddamn this movie piqued my curiosity. It is scary but so, so fascinating. I wouldn't want to mess with this kind of thing irl, but if someone has any research articles or some other online resources, please let me know 🙏

(Why is horse blood is used for cleansing? Can any horse be used for that? Or only a special kind?)

I know slightly (but only very slightly) more about burial rituals and afterlife folklore, as it can be sort of considered my special interests.

When I find a cemetery and have some free time, I usually walk around and try to find the oldest grave. But none that I found could be traced back earlier than to the end of 19th century (unless there's an important figure buried). And since I'd noticed it, I've been plagued with a question - what happens to the graves that were standing there before? Especially if the cemetery is old, and people have been definitely dying for longer than 150 years.

Where do the old bones go?

There are different answers depending on the culture/religion/region/political climate, but here they touch a bit on one of them, which I found fascinating.

The other reason why I decided to check this movie out is very superficial but welp, what can I do...

I may be ace, but I still have eyes, OK?

Now spoilers for the ending!!

*************************************************************

For those of you who are anxious little beans like me and worried about the characters surviving throughout the whole ordeal (because Korean movies tend to be depressing as hell), I'm happy to tell y'all that they are all alive and (relatively) well at the end!

There was even one very funny moment at the end, when one of the characters is severely wounded and preparing to die. His inner monologue is all "ash to ashes, dust to dust, I'm ready to peacefully go to another plane, that's how it's all supposed to be, oh wait, I have my daughter's wedding to attend, woops". And then he just like, doesn't die. That was awesome.

I also liked how even though they defeated the evil spirit, the gang is still left traumatized. Because all of them are experienced masters in their own craft, but the world of supernatural is absolutely terrifying. And all of them are only humans, with human minds and human emotions, walking a very thin line between our world and the hidden one.

That’s a Wrap

Trailer

Train to Busan is a harrowing zombie horror-thriller that follows a group of terrified passengers fighting their way through a countrywide viral outbreak, trapped on a suspicion-filled, blood-drenched bullet train ride to the Safe Zone…which may or may not still be there.

Pre-order Train to Busan.

Today I completed EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO season 1 and I saw how Woo Young Woo was bullied back in her middle school & had no friends because of her autism. Her classmates plays awfull prank on her during a game of "I'm sorry".But if a person like Woo Young Woo was in my class then instead of bullying her I would support her not b`coz she is intelligent but imagine having a friend who has a pure heart, never thought or done bad for someone, never betrayed anyone and most importantly stayed loyal. Don't you think that getting this type of friend is a real blessing.

Train to Busan (2016)

Train to Busan makes great use of the familiar elements of a zombie movie by centering its plot on a single location and injecting societal commentary into its plot. While this 2016 horror film does not reinvent the wheel, what it does, it does well.

Seo Seok-woo (Gong Yoo), the divorced, workaholic absentee father of Su-an (Kim Su-an), agrees to bring his daughter to Busan so she can visit her mother. Onboard the train, a young woman suddenly bites one of the attendants. Soon, an infectious disease has reduced most of the passengers to gnashing ghouls. Those who remain must work together to survive.

After introducing Seok-woo and Su-an at their home, nearly all of the story takes place inside the titular train to Busan. We get a couple of stops along the way but these are at a train station and at a terminal, which are extensions of the train itself. On top of the usual fears of having to face possessed loved ones and rampant infection, we also deal with claustrophobia. The space inside the train is already small and it keeps getting smaller. When someone becomes infected, everyone rushes to the next compartment and blocks the entrance. The safe space has shrunk. Sometimes, people are forced to hide in the tiny bathrooms, holding the door shut as best they can while fingernails scrape the other side. The limited space and ressources requires ingenuity - both from the characters and the filmmakers. This is one of those movies where you can tell writer Park Joo-suk sat down and wrote every aspect of the train he could use. Tunnels, the bathrooms, luggage, doors, passengers, etc. You feel a certain satisfaction whenever he ticks off one of these boxes - you were just wondering how the characters would deal with X. They need to use their wits to survive and you’re glad to see that they’re all pretty sharp.

You can also tell care was put in the writing by the number of well-rounded characters. Not everyone gets equal amounts of screentime but you get to know many passengers. They’re not just bodies waiting to get infected. There’s character development and growth. You understand what makes these people tick. This is also where the movie injects some commentary about our society (or Korea’s, I guess). If there’s an antagonist - besides the zombies - it’s a rich businessman called Yon-suk (Kim Eui-sung). You can see he might represent Seok-woo's future. Both are well-paid tie-wearing men who are all about their jobs, and nothing else. Both are disconnected from the world, as evidenced by their treatment of the other passengers. Unlike the altruistic blue-collar Yoon Sang-hwa (Ma Dong-seok), they hesitate to help anyone. With his relation to his daughter already strained, you can picture Seok-woo becoming exactly like the older man - and you hate that guy. He’s a worm but he’s also got power. The attendants and the train’s captain all turn to him - the rich guy - rather than the common people when a crisis arises. They don't realize he only cares about himself. Everyone is scared but his fear threatens to doom everyone. We’re used to this idea that “the worst monsters are the people” in zombie movies so it doesn’t feel out of place, and it gives you something to think about too.

The picture maintains a steady level of suspense throughout. Whenever you get a reprieve, it’s either to set up somethig even bigger or allow you to get to know the characters. Now that you care about them that much more, the stakes feel bigger than before. The body count grows, the number of people shrinks, those who remain you’re even more determined to see survive. Best of all, you’re not sure who will make will live and who won't.

Train To Busan is one of the better zombie films in recent years. It’s got the right amount of gore and suspense to keep horror fanatics happy and it shows restraint when needed to make it nice and accessible to the rest too. (Original Korean with English subtitles, April 2, 2021)
