It’s time for another episode of Uncut, and this time, we’re diving into a world of awful people doing awful things to one another. That’s right—we’re talking about Korean revenge thrillers.
A huge deal in their day, this marks the third time we’ve covered this brutal subgenre, following our previous Na Hong-jin and Park Chan-wook episodes. Returning for another deep dive into Korean cinema, Rob is joined by Ygraine (Gore Things / What a Scream) - a consistent of those previous episodes - to explore three increasingly intense films:
🔪 The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil
🔪 Bedevilled
🔪 I Saw the Devil
This episode is especially stabby, and we discuss some very dark and mature themes, so consider this a warning if you’re sensitive to such topics. Then again, if you are, you’re probably not listening to this podcast.
