Something is haunting Andrea, but no one, not even she herself, knows what it is. Twenty years ago, ten thousand kilometers away, the same presence terrorized Marie. Camila was the only person who could understand what was happening to her, but no one believed them. When they face this oppressive threat, all three hear the same thing: a wailing.

A thought-provoking film in the vein of "It Follows" and the chilling stories of Argentinian writer Mariana Enríquez.

    "A strong feminist angle gives the film a powerful currency and the three young leads are compelling in different ways – most impressively perhaps, singer and actor Villa."
    Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily
  • Highest Rating
    "The Wailing is an unsettling, cryptic and disturbing film that talks about prominent real-life topics but using an enigmatic approach steeped in the imagination. It’s a powerful feature debut about violence against women, about all that feeds into it and causes it, recounted from a unique and courageous point of view – that of a contemporary feminist horror."
    Júlia Olmo, Cineuropa

    "While all the performances are good, Malena Villa is the stand-out, both her look and acting style recalling that of Kristen Stewart...."
    Amber Wilkinson, Filmmaker Magazine
  • Highest Rating
    "Pedro Martin-Calero, who wrote the film script alongside Isabel Pena, inserts just the right amount of intrigue and mystery in order to keep viewers hooked for 107 minutes. The jump scares are sparse and effective, and the acting is top notch. "
    Victor Fraga, Dirty Movies
