Given the strong presence of Christianity in South Korea along with that nation'shistory of horror film it's really quite surprising that there haven't been more angels and demons popping up in K-horror offerings over the years. But that looks to be changing with the arrival of Jang Jae-hyun's The Priests.A young girl is in coma after a hit-and-run accident.
