Limited release for I Saw The Devil
Ji-woon Kim’s I Saw The Devil is set to get a limited release next year on March 4th. The film has been making an impact on the festival circuit, and I have heard nothing but great things about it. Really great news that the film will get a cinema release, even a limited one. Magnet Releasing who are the US distributors will also have it on VOD, but no date yet for that. It has also been accepted into Sundance, as part of the ‘Park City at Midnight’.
Lee Byung-hyun (The Good, the Bad and the Weird) stars as Dae-hoon, a special agent whose pregnant wife becomes the latest victim of a disturbed and brutal serial killer, captivatingly played by Oldboy’s Choi Min-sik. Vowing revenge, Dae-hoon blurs the lines between hunter and hunted and good and evil, eventually becoming a monster himself in his twisted pursuit of revenge. From Korean genre master Kim Jee-woon (The Good, The Bad and The Weird and A Tale of Two Sisters), I Saw The Devil is shockingly violent and stunningly accomplished, transcending the police procedural and pushing the boundaries of extreme Asian cinema in surprising and thrilling new ways.
