Enjoyed this creepy found footage/mockumentary a good bit.

The cinematography was beautiful. I found the filters that were utilized gave the atmosphere of the film a real creepy, classic film vibe.

The landscape was a character unto itself, as was the sound design and music.

The special effects and creatures were pretty decently down for a low budget film, with an obvious and humorous exception.

The acting delivered by the 2 leads was on point. The boy's facial expressions were really great and the actress's emotions felt real.

As the viewer, it's easy to get sucked into the anxiety and paranoia of the story of you allow it to happen.

I Saw The Devil started off pretty intensely and proceeded rather quickly downhill from there. The main character has insanely stupid motivations. Maybe it has more to do with the Korean culture. I just do not understand why he went about things the way he did. Over and over, I kept thinking to myself "why would he do that?" I thought the finale of the story might enlighten me on the decisions made throughout the plot. Nope, not even a little bit. This film could only be rated so highly because of the extreme brutality and on that note, I am not really impressed. There are so many gore filled movies nowadays.
