'I Saw The Devil' Korean Movie Trailer
Cr. - hancinema
Since AICN debuted the U.S. poster for "I Saw the Devil" a couple of weeks ago at http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48083, excitement had been building for the presentation of the Kim Ji-woon revenge thriller at Sundance 2011 (January 20-30). And audiences were not disappointed.
As IndieWire's SPOUT headlined, "'I Saw the Devil' is a Bloody Good Revenge Movie". Starring Lee Byeong-Heon and Choi Min-sik, the Korean movie has already been acquired for distribution by Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, specializing in films from the vanguard of horror, action, comedy and Asian cinema. March 4 release is scheduled here.
Or as ScreenCrave puts it: "Director Kim Ji-woon's latest thriller doesn't hold back and doesn't hesitate to go where you really don't (but secretly do) want it to go".
And a writeup in DreadCentral describes "I Saw the Devil" as both "shockingly violent and stunningly accomplished".
Korean Shocker 'I SAW THE DEVIL' Heads to North America
Magnet Releasing has announced they've picked up the North American film distribution rights for 'I SAW THE DEVIL', a Korean thriller that made headlines in South Korea last month when director Kim Jee-Woon was forced to trim between eighty and ninety seconds of graphic violence from the film before it would be granted a rating, thus allowing for distribution of the film in Korea.
In 'I SAW THE DEVIL' Lee Byung-Hyun stars as Dae-Hoon, a special agent whose pregnant wife becomes the latest victim of a disturbed and brutal serial killer, 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.
'I Saw The Devil' Korean Movie Trailer release in first quarter on January 2011.
