Plain Archive is excited to announce the release of I Saw The Devil Steelbook. We've been asked by Blue Kino, another Korean Blu-ray company to design the Steelbook edition which will be PLAIN ARCHIVE's exclusive.
We were hoping to release the world's first Steelbook edition of I Saw The Devil, but Zavvi announced its own before we could. The news made us reconsider the project, but with director Kim Jee-woon's support, we couldn't drop it.
I Saw The Devil Steelbook will be released under the approval of director Kim, and we are working on the artwork as we speak.
Best Regards
PLAIN ARCHIVE

Thanks @Vandamon

Just wanted to update everyone that as you all had said (and I expected), customer service was very helpful and replied in 3 days....they just directly offered a refund and I got a PayPal email after a few hours....I guess they did not have another copy to ship at the time....and I did not press them for it. Though the shipping cost for just one copy is always high!!

I managed to grab I Saw The Devil full slip a week or so ago.
Fantastic company to deal with and awesome high quality product. I hope you enjoy these pictures and apologies for being late to the scene on this one.

Surprised it landed in my hands yesterday morning.

CUT??

@monterock

The following versions of the movie are known:
– The Korean version, originally released in Korea and in which some of the violence (~1:20) has been cut but that also contains several additional scenes (~144min).
– The International version, reinstating some of the violence and cutting some dialogue sequences for reasons of pacing (~142min).

Interestingly the Plain Archive release contains the shorter international version and, e.g., the UK steelbook release contains the longer Korean version. [Edit: The PA release contains both versions, edited to avoid passing on misinformation]

Interestingly, the Plain Archive release contains the shorter international version and, e.g., the UK steelbook release contains the longer Korean version.

The PA release contains both the Korean release (144 minutes) and the International release (142 minutes). I don't own the UK steelbook, but the J-card lists the run time as 144 minutes, so I imagine it contains the Korean cut of the film which features a bit more dialogue and less violence (to appease Korean censors).

That certainly makes a lot of sense

Seems that PA just got the running time specs wrong; it's 142 min for both discs (looking at the full slip).

Just took a look at the bottom of the full slip and you're right, they did misprint the running times as being equal (they're listed accurately on the website). I can see how this would cause much confusion.

This is the only release that I have from Plain Archive- the 1/4 slip, and it's one of my favorite Steelbooks in my collection.

It's beautiful.

For anyone interested, it seems that PLAIN has a little restock of the paper slipbox version now. Grab one while you can!

@famagosta you've just made a grown man flat broke
