In "The Wailing (Goksung)", the arrival of a mysterious stranger (Chun Woo Hee) in an otherwise quiet village coincides with a rash of vicious murders, causing panic and suspicion amongst the villagers. When the daughter of investigating officer Jong Goo (Kwak Do Won) falls under the same savage spell, he calls for a shaman (Hwang Jung Min) to assist in finding the culprit.
