- Story Text: The stars of Korean horror film "Gokseong" ("The Wailing") walked the red carpet for the film's international premiere in Cannes on Wednesday (May 18).
The film screened in the festival's Out of Competition strand.
Actors Chun Woo-hee and Kwak Do-won turned out for the event with director Na Hong-jin.
"Gokseong" follows a small town policeman's quest to track down an evil spirit driving local residents to commit gruesome murders. With more plot twists than one of the movie's writhing victims, the search becomes personal when the spirit occupies the body of the policeman's daughter.
This is Na's third visit to Cannes, with the director having had both his directorial debut, "The Chaser", and 2011's "The Yellow Sea", screened at the festival. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
