This is the latest Netflix Korean offering, which stands up against several other similar movies.
So the basis of the plot revolves around a kidnapper and a Pastor, but the story takes may twists and turns and lines between good and bad are blurred, which if course is far more to how life actually is than most of Hollywoods superhero style movies.
It keeps you engaged throughout the whole movie, is she alive, is she not being a running theme throughout. Look, there are some flaws here, the storyline isn't anything groundbreaking + there's no big twist at the end, but it's thrilling enough to keep you entertained till the credits roll. Another downside is how the characters make some terrible choices; a detective goes to a suspected crime scene alone + the perpetrator not covering his tracks at all being two of the most notable. However these are mistakes many movies make and didn't ruin the suspense for me.
I also liked the way religion was explored heavily but never shown in a preachy way. Whether there was any divine interventions going on is left to the viewers imagination, which means neither Theists or Atheists should be offended, Lastly despite what another reviewer has said, the acting is superb, they put western actors to shame, i cried at the end. I think the other reviewer may just be racist.
All in all, i highly recommend it if you are a fan of the genre, if not, it may be a little slow for you.

Yeon Sang-ho's new Netflix film is a psychological crime thriller about a pastor whose life unravels after an accident and a haunted detective surveilling a serial kidnapper.
The main plotline juggles these two characters and intertwines their stories for what is essentially a throwback to an earlier era of Korean crime dramas. You know the kind of film: a rainy, dark and atmospheric experience that wants you to feel the misery at every turn. Yeon anchors the police procedural and ticking-clock thriller elements to a character study which grapples with themes like guilt, faith and mental illness. So it's definitely more ambitious than an average genre film. The result should be even better than it turned out, but it also could have been a lot worse, were it not directed by a skilled hand like Yeon's.
Of the two storylines that we follow, the pastor's is definitely more compelling. He's a timid character who does diligent work inviting new members into his small church community, but after a sinister man appears on his doorstep he begins to slide into a different person altogether. The detective's story is a clichéd one, not exactly badly written but bland and overly familiar. She sees her sister's ghostly apparition on a regular basis, and feels guilt after her suicide. So she takes special interest in the serial kidnapper who held her hostage, and is on the loose again after being released from prison. As I previously said, these people will all eventually meet in one way or another, and it is then when the film is most interesting.
There are flaws though. Yeon introduces plenty of melodrama and a gloomy heavy-handedness into the film early on, and it gets a bit tiring to follow all these people being constantly miserable. The narrative also suffers for it, taking its time to get going while we wallow in all the depression the film throws at us. It would have been a better decision to let things play out with more restraint, and there were times when I wondered what Na Hong-jin or Bong Joon-ho would've done with this story. But, as it is, Yeon also did a fairly good job, all things considered.
Technically this is a very well made film with plenty of atmosphere, quality production design and even a particular one-shot confrontation that marks the film's dramatic high point. As a whole, Revelations is a worthy addition to the genre which probably won't sweep you off your feet, but is a decent, sometimes thought provoking time killer.

To be honest, I expected more. The plot was quite predictable - not in the sense that you could guess the ending, but rather that you could anticipate how the next scenes would unfold. The character twists weren't particularly fresh or surprising. Actually, there were many moments where the characters' actions felt a bit confusing and forced. Every issue in the movie, from the initial events to the ending, happened and was resolved too quickly.
The acting was decent. Shin Hyun Bin has shown noticeable improvement in her acting compared to her previous works. Ryu Jun-yeol, as always, delivered a solid performance.
Overall, the movie didn't leave much of an impression on me because its main message wasn't deep. If you have time and are curious, you can give it a try. But I know there are many other Korean films out there that are much better and more worth watching.

Being a fan of Korean movies, I was thrilled to see what this movie is going to bring. I must say it isn't a masterpiece south korean thrillers out there but it's definitely worth watching.
The acting, the dialogue and the direction was all in sync with the story. What fascinated me to watch this movie is the way how one can be deceived from what they believe.
I felt the last 15 minutes could have been more polished in terms of writing to justify the whole process and to keep the audience engaged as I felt that the end didn't leave an impact on me but nevertheless it has it's good moments.
A decent watch!
7/10 for this one.

Yeon Sang-ho, the visionary behind Train to Busan, returns with Revelations, a slow-burn psychological thriller that forgoes adrenaline-fueled chaos for a disquieting exploration of faith, justice, and the darkest corners of the human psyche. The film skillfully weaves together the stories of a pastor, a detective, and an ex-convict, all of whom are driven by their own deeply held (and often flawed) beliefs. What begins as a missing person case spirals into a tense, unpredictable descent into moral ambiguity. Ryu Jun-yeol's performance as the pastor is particularly chilling, a compelling portrayal of a man whose faith mutates into a terrifying justification for his actions. The film doesn't offer easy answers, instead leaving the audience to grapple with unsettling questions about what constitutes "good" and "evil." While its deliberate pace may test the patience of some, the film's thematic density and masterful performances make it a rewarding and thought-provoking watch.
Is it worth watching? Yes. It's a gripping and intelligent thriller that will stay with you long after the final scene.

- CuriosidadesAt the end of the movie, when the preacher is talking with the detective in jail through a glass panel (1:52:49), the camera focus on his inmate identification, specifically the number 5 on one side, and 207 on the other side. Considering the number five as the fifth letter on the alphabet "E" and 207 being a specific verse, it fits Exodus 20:7, which reads: "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.". This reflects with the preacher's motives and pursuits throughout the movie.
