It appears that the latest Asian horror entry to catch the eye of American producers is The Wailing, a South Korean film released just last year.
The locality and sensibility of The Wailing is so strong that I don’t think it would be easy to do a Western remake, and it will be important who directs it.
The Wailing was also a critical darling, appearing on many “best horror of 2016” lists, and currently sitting at a commanding 99% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
