The doldrums of the South Korean box office was happily shattered this past weekend with what is now the biggest domestic Korean movie opening in more than two years since The Roundup: No Way Out in 2022. The occult supernatural horror movie Exhuma had over 2 million admissions in its opening weekend (2.29m from Thurs through Sunday) and also got glowing reviews from critics and moviegoers. Starring Choi Min Sik, Yoo Hae Jin, Kim Go Eun, and Lee Do Hyun, the movie does that scary Korean cultural superstitious horror that can be so spooky fun to watch, think The Wailing. The two veterans are of course excellent in this movie and the boost goes to Kim Go Eun continuing to cement her movie cred and Lee Do Hyun dropping a memorable performance as his final project filmed before enlisting for his current military service.
