        Exorcism horror movies have become much more common in South Korean cinema following the success The Wailing (2016) achieved by revising the sub-genre’s tropes. The Divine Fury (2019) similarly altered the usual formula by adding action sequences to the horror narrative, with mixed results. While Exhuma does not make as many efforts to reinvent the sub-genre, it does feel tied to the national cinema in ways that are compelling. Unfortunately, its unorthodox approach also demands a lot of patience from viewers in the first half of the lengthy movie.
