I Saw the Devil, 2010 - ★★★★½

You can also find this review on Letterboxd

What happens when a serial killer horribly murders the girlfriend of a psychopath? You get another classic in Korean cinema.

I Saw The Devil is just such a strong movie, with the long known message: there are no winners in revenge.

Min-sik Choi gives probably his greatest performance since Oldboy, maybe even surpassing it. His character is just evil through and through.

I just wonder how many serial killers wander the streets of South Korea... different strokes for different folks I guess.

Hear more of my thoughts in the most recent episode of the Filmhaus Podcast (a day early for you letterboxd folks today)
