What is the movie?
‘I Saw The Devil’ is a must-watch for fans of Korean cinema. Released in Korea in 2010, the film made a significant impact. It stars Lee Byung-Hun as the protagonist and Choi Min-sik as the antagonist, with direction by Kim Jee-woon. This dark action thriller, which runs for 2 hours and 22 minutes, delves into themes of revenge. It is currently available for streaming in Telugu on Amazon Prime, and can also be watched in other South Indian languages, including Hindi.
For Adults Only!
Director Kim Jee-woon masterfully depicts the psyche of a psycho killer in ‘I Saw The Devil’. The film reveals how someone ordinary by day can become extremely violent at night. The killer’s method of murdering women is portrayed with chilling realism, as he dismembers their bodies and finds pleasure in the act, which is likely to disturb viewers. The narrative intensifies when a beloved young woman falls victim to the killer, leading to a visceral reaction from the hero upon discovering her fate. However, the movie’s bold content and numerous crime scenes make it unsuitable for children or family viewing. It is intended for solo watching.
What is the story?
The movie follows a serial killer who, by day, works as a school van driver and by night, kidnaps and brutally murders women after stripping them naked. On one such night, the wife of an NIS (National Intelligence Service) agent, driving alone, becomes stranded in a deserted area and falls prey to the killer. He takes her home, dismembers her, and kills her. Shaken by the incident, the hero manages to track down the villain. Instead of killing him, the hero tortures him and then lets him go, having planted a GPS tracker in the killer’s stomach. He follows the killer, tormenting him at every turn. Eventually, the killer discovers the GPS inside him and removes it. What happens next? Was the hero able to locate the killer again? That is the story.
