Jang Jae-hyeon’s “Korean version of The Exorcist,” The Priests (read our review), will be arriving to DVD on January 10, 2017, courtesy of CJ Entertainment. If you can’t wait to face the evil spirits on DVD – or just need something to watch in the days leading up to Halloween – The Priests is currently available through Amazon’s streaming service.
The film, which has been retitled for its U.S. release as The Priests: Exorcism, stars Kim Yoon-seok (The Thieves) and Kang Dong-won (Kundo). The two play a pair of priests who hope to exorcise what they believe to be an evil spirit possessing the body of a young girl in a coma. Also in the cast are Park So-Dam (Veteran) and Lee Hyo-Je (Hidden Time).
COF’s Paul Bramhall calls The Priests “a refreshingly straight forward horror movie, which is successful in being both suspenseful and delivering a few jump in your seat moments.”
Pre-order The Priests: Exorcism from Amazon.com today.

Pretty good movie with a terrific finale.
I saw it at the Korean Film Festival in Sydney in September and there were a few people in the mostly-Asian audience who were really freaked out by it.
