When a renowned shaman (KIM Go-Eun) and her protégé (Lee Do-hyun) are hired by a wealthy, enigmatic family, they begin investigating the cause of a disturbing supernatural illness that affects only the first-born children of each generation. With the help of a knowledgeable mortician (YOO Hai-jin) and the country's most revered geomancer (CHOI Min-sik), they soon trace the affliction's origin to a long-hidden family grave located on sacred ground. Sensing an ominous aura surrounding the burial site, the team opts to exhume and relocate the ancestral remains immediately. But as something much darker emerges, they soon discover what befalls those who dare to mess with the wrong grave.

Bloody Disgusting

Jae-hyun Jang combines introspective cultural and historical themes with creepy, gory, and atmospheric horror thrills in an exciting way. It’s fun horror with a lot on its mind.

Rated: 4/5

Anton Bitel

Sight & Sound

It makes up for its paucity of scares through the multiple layers of weirdness that it excavates, as one (burial) plot leads to another and as legacy, whether genetic or national, has unseen depths.

The MacGuffin

Taking it at face value – from the scares, shocks, and suspense building – it clicks on all cylinders.

Rated: B

ScreenAnarchy

It's a pulpy investigative thriller, spiked with gruesome images, and leavened by the banter traded by its popular stars, yet (ahem) dig beneath its well-tuned commercial attributes and you may also unearth something else.

With some similarities to Na Hong-jin’s The Wailing, it is easy to see why Exhuma turned out to be a hit in South Korea. Excavating the bones of a painful past has proved to be a successful formula, as Bollywood has already found out.

South China Morning Post

Jang’s intelligent and richly detailed screenplay plumbs the depths of Korea’s complicated history and unearths long-buried demons that continue to haunt not only the Park dynasty, but the entire nation.

Rated: 4/5

Decent enough with a decent story. Nice visuals and characters you will care about. Definitely worth a watch, kind of like The Mummy 1999 with Brendan Fraser
