A review by MovieGuys

Written by MovieGuys on 2025-06-26

"Hunter with a Scalpel" is another excellent crime thriller, from South Korea.

The Koreans have a knack for truly engrossing and often, surprisingly violent and graphically gruesome, crime series. This 16 episode series, is no exception.

Perhaps the only thing I didn't like and don't like in general, was an early reveal of the serial killer, before he is exposed by the authorities. I suspect a twist is on offer? I'll have to watch to the end to find out.

In summary, well acted, darkly engrossing, whats not to like?
