I don't know why I choose to watch this movie even when I knew it was a horror movie but for some reason, I enjoyed the movie and even when to the extent of recommending it to a few of my friends who I know aren't movie guru, I am sure once they start watching the movie they will not stop until they watch the end of the movie.
I am sure this is my first time posting a horror movie in this community, I just couldn't help this time but share with you guys this movie called "The Divine Fury". I guess the name got me thinking about what the movie would be about. We know Divine is something extraordinary and Fury can be termed anger, rage, and so, because of the name, I decided to give the movie a try, and to say I was intrigued was an understatement.
The divine fury is a South Korean action horror movie but is also a Christian-based movie, directed by Kim Joo-Hwan and released on 31, July 2019. The main actors are Yong-hoo (Park Seo-Joon), Ahn Sung-Ki (Priest An), Woo Do-Hwan (Ji-Shin).
The movie is about a young boy who began to hate the Almighty God, everything, and everyone that reverence God after the death of his parents. He believed God was a liar and does not exist so he did not reverence Him because on the day his father was laid on the hospital bed, he rushed to the church to pray to God to save his father and the priest assured him all going to alright, but that night his father gave up the ghost.
He became a martial arts champion and a successful MMA fighter at that, his anger gets the best of him most especially if his opponents have the sign of the cross drawn on him.
That day during one of his fights, he almost killed his opponent because he had the cross sign drawn at his back, and that night, he had a dream which later generated a physical wound on his palm, the wound refused to heal even when he went to best doctors instead it began to form a cross sign in his palm and his sleep was always deprived by an unknown force.
After looking for ways to get his wound cure, he was directed by his driver to a blind girl who is a seer, he was then directed to Priest An (Ahn Sung-ki).
On the night he decided to meet the priest, he could not gain access into the church as some birds began to gather around him that he had to run back into his car and drove away but he wouldn't give up and went to the church the next day where he met the priest trying to drive out a demon from a possessed man but the demon set himself free and attacked the priest and his attendant Yong-hoo out of anger picked up the possessed man and threw him across the room. The demon-possessed man was immediately freed and laid still.
The priest was surprised to see that and when the priest asked him what he used, he told the priest he used his hand showing the priest his palm. The priest understood the mystery behind the wound on his hand and decided to follow him to his house.
The priest went to his house, did a cleansing, and dropped a cross necklace close to his bed without letting Yong-hoo know about it. That night Yong-hoo slept peacefully without any disturbance but in the morning, while he was doing his chores, he saw the necklace and decided to return it to the priest.
When he got there, he was told the priest went home, so he drove down to his house and gave back the necklace not after warning the priest that he doesn't want to see him or see anything that has to do with God.
He met the priest going out and decided to drop him off, there the priest asked him why he hates God so much. He told the priest what had happened to his father and how God had refused to answer his prayer.
The priest tried talking to him about God's will for his life and how he needs to start fighting because the demons are possessing a lot of people and people need him to save them from this demon that is destroying the peace of everyone.
After a lot of talks from the priest, Yong Hoo decided to fight this demon but that was when the priest was infected and had little time to survive. He went to their abode and fought them using the olive oil and the cross.
He won the fight with the underworld and came out happy because the priest survived.
I think I am done giving the review on this movie. You can download and watch.
