        Without Oldboy on the list at all, I can’t take the site or the author seriously. None of those movies even come close to the horrifying revenge of Oldboy. It evokes a special kind of darkness that stays with you long after viewing.

        To those in this thread who may not have seen it yet, make sure you watch the original Korean movie. The makers of the American version didn’t have the balls to get the story right.

          I didn’t realize there was more to it… I’ll check out the others! Thanks!

          Edit

          Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, and a boxed set with all three are apparently unavailable in the US region. :( Everything I’m seeing is Region 2/Region B.
