The Lion starring Ahn Sung-ki and Park Seo-joon, which was released on the 31st of last month, is a story about the Kuma priest, Ahn (Ahn Sung-ki), and the martial arts player Yong-hoo (Park Seo-joon) fighting against evil spirits. The Kuma, or Exorcism material, combined with the growth story of Hero, which appears as a priest belonging to the Kuma priesthood "Arma Lucis (the weapon of light)" from the Vatican. Although the overall composition of the film is loose, it is noteworthy that it borrowed various kuma materials to meet the tastes of young audiences who like the occult (supernatural phenomenon) genre. Actor Ahn Sung-ki took the ball to memorize the long Latin ambassador of the long Kuma ceremony. The production team was authorized to use the official logo from the Vatican, while paying attention to the design of props such as the bag of the priest and the rosary ring containing the Kuma goods. If there was Kang Dong-won (Black Priests) in 2015, Park Seo-joon will even show her wearing a priest's uniform at the end of the film.
Kuma is a frequently used material in Hollywood movies, but it was a favorite genre in Korea centered on mania. The Black Priests, which was released in 2015, is the starting point of a Korean-style occult film, and the film was successful in attracting 5 million viewers at the time of its release, and the Kuma Priest became active in dramas and movies.
As a drama, Son the Guest, which was aired on OCN from September to November last year, is a representative example. The audience rating, which started at 1%, rose to 4% until the end, and requests for sequel production and filmmaking were also made. The composition of the Catholic Kuma ritual and traditional good plate to track the evil spirit Son became popular, leading to follow-up dramas such as 'Prist', which combines medical and occult.
Occult water, which deals with supernatural phenomena, has a mania group, especially among young people in their 10s and 20s. They are relatively less resistant to the occult genre, which deals with materials that are not scientifically explained because they are naturally exposed to hero water that flies in the sky or boasts superhuman power since childhood.
The activity of the priest Kuma who is real in Catholicism is thoroughly veiled, which attracts the interest of the audience and viewers, and the development of computer graphics technology enables the realization of natural visual effects that can maximize fear on the screen.
Some analysts say that the more complex and confusing the real society, the more the audience is attracted to the ambiguity and fear that can not distinguish whether the subject of evil is the demon or the demon (the demon or the demon). "Since the 2000s, movies have been more intensely reflecting reality," said Jeon Chan-il, a film critic. “The more confusion continues in the real world and the more the audience feels the real fear in reality, the more diverse the horror film will evolve into,” he said.
