The Priests is an extended version of the original short film. The director Jang Jae Hyun created the 12th Assistant Deacon and won many awards, so he then made a full movie with the same story line. Some of the scenes are exactly the same, but just done with different actors. I personally like the short film more, but the movie is pretty good too.
If you enjoy thee dark aspects of this show including possession and exorcism, you'll probably enjoy this movie too.
Director Jang Jae-hyun's debut film. Both are supernatural horrors, the director specializes in the occult genre.
Dark Nuns is supposed to be female centric spin off of The Priests.
The Priests involves a girl Young Sin getting possessed by malevolent spirit and Father Kim accompanied by Deacon Choi who stayed even after many of them ran away unable to cope with the intensity of the situation.
These to embark on a nerve racking journey to save the girl from the clutches of evil.
The premise of The Priests is supposed to very similar to Dark Nuns and its recommended to watch The Priests before Dark Nuns for a well rounded viewing experience.
