5 Serial Killer Movies You May Have Not Yet Seen (and Should) #3 I Saw The Devil (2010)

There's no secret that some of our favorite horror movies deal with those creepy bastards that stalk us and want to do unspeakably horrible things to us. From 'Psycho' to 'Hannibal' they have endeared us with their quirkiness, style, and finesse. With glorious one liners and clever kills, they are a fascination both in fiction and reality. Hell, how do think the Creepercast got its name? Speaking of how we got our name, two of the films on this list helped make Creepercast great and connected us with amazing film makers and actors we now call friends. So, without further pontificating, here are 5 serial killer films we believe deserve your attention a little more than the rest...

I Saw The Devil (2010)



On a dark road, a taxi driver comes across a scared female motorist stranded in a broken-down vehicle. He pulls over -- but not to help her. When the woman's head is discovered in a local river, her devastated fiancé, a trained secret agent, becomes obsessed with hunting down her killer. Once he finds him, things get twisted. After brutally beating the murderer, Kim lets him go free, and a demented game of cat and mouse begins.



A tale of murder and revenge from Korean genre master KIM Jee-woon. Oldboy's CHOI Min-sik as our serial killer and Lee Byung-hun who has continued to have martial arts fame. There are several aspects of this film that place it above all others. The most important being the blurred line between revenge and torture for the fun of it making the hero appear a lot like the killer. The other important element is the behind the scenes life of a serial killer and the fringe culture they may have if they did co-habitate, swap stories, and give each other tips and tricks to better their killing experiences. I dare you to not switch sides often while watching!
