Hmmm i don't get what's so good about this movie.
It's stupid and contains useless blood. This isn't even sad.

This is **definetely** not a horror movie, and given its weak and predictable storyline, not a good thriller either. It is, however, a rather decent slasher/action film.

Also, despite being quite entertaining, the movie is extremely violent and overly long. The main story of vengeance gets diluted by the unnecessary scenes of killing and raping, to the point that the argument becomes an accessory rather than a guiding line, or point of reflection.

Do not expect much from it.

"I Saw the Devil" is a film that grabs you by the throat from the first minute and will never let go. Choi Min-sik makes you never want to look away from the screen. The way he portrays serial killer Jang Kyung-chul is out of this world. He owns the role.

On the other side we have Kim Jee-Woon regular Lee Byung-hun as Kim Soo-hun, a secret agent who want revenge for the murder of his pregnant fiancee. After the first meeting between the two, he stalks his pray and the cat and mouse game begins.

For more than 2 hours I was glued to the screen. This beautifully shot film with brutal gore and action, which made me look away from the screen at times because of how invested I was, flew by.

I'm still processing what I just saw....All I can say is, don't skip this one!

I couldn't agree with flex more. was quite excited about this film due in part to the fantastic cast but equally the director.

Unfortunately I was left a little disappointed in the lack of any real depth to the story. I get the revenge genre (from Oldboy to I Spit on Your Grave to Lady Snowblood) but usually they have a half decent story driving them along. This just seemed a dumbed down version, only a notch above the torture-porn genre Hollywood has been checking out for some time.

Kind of generic but what I found most unengaging was how convenient the entire movie was. It really bothered me how stuff just happened in order to move the plot and characters forward. That and the fact that a lot of stuff was just so poorly established.
I feel like I would've loved this movie more if it had an extra 30 minutes besides the 140 that were used... but then it wouldn't have been has tightly paced as it was. I'd be fine with a slower movie if it had a better establishment of characters, places and plot points.

Like a cannibal with an overbite, I Saw the Devil is a little sloppy.

After the subtle intricacies of Old Boy and The Chaser, I was a bit let down by the Devil. The incisiveness of story is dull here as it hangs the tip of a monumental WTF (an "intelligence" service officer lets a serial killer go do he can interrupt and torture him when he's committing rapes and murders) that it can't cut it.

I still liked it, but I've come to expect more of Korean cinema.

One of the greatest film this century.

Fantastic performances, excellent plot (usually the serial killer is found at the end and justice or revenge is exacted, but this dude finds him straight away), excellent shot composition, editing and score.

Alone with Old Boy and Parasite, the pinnacle of modern Korean cinema.

There are less than 100 films i would give 10/10. Less than 50 maybe. But this is one.

Watch it, bitches :kissing_heart:

Just as brutal as the first time I watched it. Talk about a crazy revenge story. Why is it that Choi Min-sik scares me? He plays such a crazy bad guy. A lot of moments where I wanted to look away but at the same time I couldn't get enough.

Definitely not a horror movie, more like a thriller. There is enough tension, but the movie could be shorter.
Yeah, it is horrifying, but in other kind of way. Overall, it's a good movie. I enjoyed it.

If you like this movie, I will recommend I spit on your grave (2010) which is similar, shorter and sexier ;)

Alright. This doesn’t have enough meat on the bones given its runtime. The plot’s pretty generic and barebones, and none of the characters are particularly interesting or fleshed out. The action and gore/shock value are the two aspects that make it memorable. It can at times be cruel and sadistic, not entirely unlike a _Saw_ film, but comparatively it’s not as over the top, cheap or desperate to pander to edgy teenagers. I’d also argue that the filmmaking is generally pretty well done, it looks stylish and the music stands out at times. All in all, I think it does just enough, but stretches of it are dull because so much of it is about the surface.

5.5/10

**Torture. Release. Repeat. A good premise but ultimately way too repetitive.**

Also, the melodramatic score was just bad and stole a lot of the emotional impact. Skip this and watch The Vengeance Trilogy by Park Chan-wook.

Perfectly paced, nerve-wreckingly intense, thoroughly engaging, unsettling and often frightening film, with an excellent plot that unfolds in an unexpected way.

I agree with what he did! He just should have done it sooner. THat whole hunter prey game was uncalled for. Handing him out to the police isn't right, because they'll treat him like a human being, which he's not. Death is what he deserves.

It was ok. Weird. Not really horror. Just revenge action with gore. Can't really say more about it I guess.
