Merged an entry and a response correcting it into a single entry. Added spoiler tags to some stuff concerning the ending.


* Pretty much the entire climax of the movie, if only for how MindScrew-y it is. Is the Japanese man the one behind all this? Or is it the Woman in White? As we soon find out, [[spoiler:it's neither. ''It's the Shaman.'']]
** It's actually both the Japanese stranger and the Shaman. Given that it's revealed that the Japanese man is actually [[DevilInDisguise a demon or possibly even the Devil himself]], the Shaman is likely a devil worshiper or even a lesser demon in service to the Devil.

* The Japanese man revealing his true form to the deacon.
** Worse yet, [[NothingIsScarier what exactly is he planning to do the deacon?]] Having a demon/the Devil reveal his true form to you can only mean something very, very bad is about to happen to you...

* The disease that has fallen upon the town is this. Those who are afflicted with it turn into bloodthirsty savages, while the physical toll it takes on their bodies is tremendous, complete with their skin falling off.
* The hunter's dream about the Japanese man eating a deer. The moment when the Japanese man spots him and lumbers toward him with red eyes will stay with long after the movie ends.
* The inside of the stranger's house. While all the mysterious ritualistic objects are creepy enough, the room full of hundreds of photos of people who would later contract the disease is pure ParanoiaFuel.
* The scene where Jong-goo enlists several men to murder the Japanese man. While they are searching for him, the stranger sends a diseased man to kill them, and the disease appears to have rendered him all but indestructible. At one point he gets stabbed in the head with a rake, ''and yet he still won't die.''

* Hyo-jin killing her entire family in a gory fashion. She makes sure to make an exception for Jong-goo, who she simply leaves to bleed out.
* The Japanese man revealing his true form to the deacon.
