Exhuma is supernatural film that slowly builds up the mystery and there are no jumpscares When you just think you know what is going to happen, the makers surprise it with the plot twist...
It was really scary in the first 1 hour, especially the coffin and grandpa seek revenge on the descendants... The plot thickens when they arrived at the eerie looking grave site. There's shamanic, feng shui, East Asian burial ritual, spirit possession, Korean history and Japanese occupation history info to gain while this movie... There's a reason why the Asian elders who survived the Japanese occupation continues to hate the Japanese up till now. So many horrendous acts have been commited and things done to their graves even after death...Historically accurate and is focused on the culture and traditions about respecting the dead in the southeast asia & how important is properly burying the dead...
To non-Asians, this is a good movie to watch to understand why Asians have their own ways and rituals of showing respect to their ancestors and honoring the dead...
Overall it's not everybody's cup of tea but one can find it interesting to explore the culture of Korean & Japan...
