Synopsis

I SAW THE DEVIL is a tale of murder and revenge from Korean genre master Kim Jee-woon (THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD; A TALE OF TWO SISTERS). Shockingly violent, OLDBOY's Choi Min-sik plays Kyung-chul, a dangerous psychopath who kills for pleasure. A man of pure evil, he has committed horrifying and senselessly cruel serial murders on defenceless victims, successfully eluding capture by the police.

On a freezing, snowy night, he preys on his latest victim, the beautiful Ju-yeon, daughter of a retired police chief and pregnant fiancee of elite special agent Soo-hyun (THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD'S Lee Byung-hyun). Gripped with revenge, Soo-hyun embarks on a manhunt to track down the murderer, and when he finds Kyung-chul, turning him in to the authorities is the last thing on his mind. As a game of cat and mouse ensues, the lines between good and evil blur.

Director Kim Jee-woon accomplishes to push the concept of revenge to its most extremes.
