I Saw The Devil is one of my favorite films of all time, the best vengeance, psychopathic revenge film out there.Even if the original is in Korean, reading through the subtitles is well worth this amazing film.
It isn't however, for the faint of heart as it is quite gruesome.
In any case Adi Shankar and Spencer Silna's 1984 Private Defense Contractors company has acquired the rights to remake the popular South Korean I Saw The Devil.Shankar says, "Kim Jee Woon's 'I Saw the Devil' is perfect in so many ways. The intention is not to remake the film per say but rather to 'port' it console style for international c audiences."
In the 2010 Korean original, a dangerous psychopath who kills for pleasure who embodies pure evil, where we see the villain commits horrifying and senselessly cruel serial murders on defenseless victims, successfully eluding capture by the police. His latest victim is the beautiful Ju-yeon, pregnant fiancee of elite special agent Soo-hyun. Obsessed with revenge, Soo-hyun decides 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. The lines between good and evil fall away in this diabolically twisted game of cat and mouse.
Trailer for the original can be seen here or below if you have flash
