I Saw The Devil (2010)

Shocking. Nerve racking. Brutal. Very, very intense stuff. Not for the faint of heart. You have been warned.

This is a revenge film type thriller, right up the alley of horror fans.

When searching for 'Top Horror Films of the Decade', this showed up on a few list. Curious, I decided to watch it.

It is a Korean film that was released 10 years ago.

What unfolded was utterly shocking and even if you're a legit horror fan and used to the blood/gore/violence, you might not be prepared for this.

Simply put, this is a very, very explicit look at a serial murderer and his cruel inhumane deeds.

It's not violence thrown in for the sake for it, there is a 'reason' behind it all.

A man is driven to take revenge on his wife's brutal murder (that's an understatement) and decides to go after each suspect of the murder.

...until he actually comes face-to-face with true evil, the 'devil' himself in the form of a human.

This man knows no pain, this man has absolute zero remorse and has absolute no fear in repeating the same cruel deeds.

No spoilers, but at the end... you will either feel relieved or left unsatisfied, e.g. wanting more pain inflicted on the murderer (believe it or not).

Clocking it at nearly 2 1/2 hours, this one is unmissable if you're a fan of the genre, but be warned.

The acting performances of the cast is legit award winning and the whole film never feels boring / out of shock value.
