The embodiment of pure evil, Kyung-chul is a dangerous psychopath who kills for pleasure. On a freezing, snowy night, his latest victim is the beautiful Juyeon, daughter of a retired police chief and pregnant fiancée of elite special agent Soo-hyun. Obsessed with revenge, Soo-hyun is determined to track down the murderer, even if doing so means becoming a monster himself. And when he finds Kyung-chul, turning him in to the authorities is the last thing on his mind, as the lines between good and evil fall away in this diabolically twisted game of cat and mouse.

Egy igazi "törvénytisztelő polgárőr vs. sorozatgyilkos" thriller műfajú film, de annyira naturalisztikusan brutális, hogy megint csak nem értem az amerikai hasonlóságokat. Kegyetlen és cinikusan szórakoztató film, amely megragad és nem enged el. A felvételeken megjelenik egy kis tétovázás, de ez nem gyengíti a nagyszerű benyomást. Színészileg és formailag is zseniális, és ha igényesebb forgatókönyve lenne, akkor egyértelműen megérne 5*-ot. Érzékenyeknek nem való.

Ha, I don't even know why I've put off this pinnacle of Asian cinema for so long. The great director, the amazing leading duo, the perfect cinematography, the excellent technical aspect, the decent idea, the solid pace and, most of all, the awesome and uncompromising gore effects brought me a unique cinematic experience and one of the best serial killer movies that I will remember with pleasure for a very long time. 100%

Too lengthy, too inconsistent. Ji-un Kim knows how to make a film, I won’t argue against that, but I don’t know whether I was supposed to get something out of this one, or only be entertained (or something else), it didn’t succeed at either anyway. I just watched it without much interest and forgot about it. There are a couple of suggestive scenes, the violence is unpleasant, but as a whole it’s from a different realm than I like visiting.

I don’t know of a single Korean movie that isn’t interesting in some way, even though I believe that there are such pieces. Anyhow, in comparison to some other Asian countries, I feel like that one is the closest to us, Europeans. I Saw the Devil was filmed by a very interesting director and I was very curious to see how he handles such an interesting premise. In about half of the movie, it completely shifted. At that point I thought that if some plot twist doesn’t come, it could be the end of it. And I was right. One character who was neutral-good up until that point has done such a 180 turn that it left me speechless. At that moment, the movie became a monster hunt. It’s just a shame that it was too long and stretched out too thin. In any case, the ending in itself was definitely worth it and it changed my original three-star rating to a solid four-star one. I watched this for the Challenge Tour 2015.

In a way, it's a work of genius. On the other hand, I'm a little ashamed to be so positive about so much evil. But I've been taught that "such is life". I have huge sympathy for Byeong-heon Lee and I understood all his inhumane actions the whole time. He simply had a lot to avenge. Again, no one could have been better chosen for the role of the devil than Min-sik Choi. I often thought it was too open-ended, but otherwise the viewer probably wouldn't have properly felt the desire for revenge. My 5 stars are for the fantastic script and great acting and direction.
