Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When Raq asked upthread for horror movies, Santa Sangre sprang to mind along with Oldboy and The Audition which have been preoccupying that bit of my brain recently. So she's going to seek it out. Maybe I'll rewatch--it's been almost 20 years.

Then again, maybe I won't.

Cruising Netflix, it's recommending Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance as being enjoyed by people who enjoyed:

Oldboy
Audition
Three... Extremes
Paradise Now
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

Seems, along with Lady Vengeance and Oldboy it forms a revenge trilogy of Chan wook Park’s. Anyone seen these two? Seen Three... Extremes or Paradise Now? I've read enough on Three Burials that I have no reason to think it's similar. But I wonder about the rest.

Paradise Now is a film about two Palistinian brothers who decide to become suicide bombers but change their minds. Not at all a horror or action movie.

ETA: Or about revenge....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think DH has seen (and liked) all of those.

From Wizard News:

FANS SHOCKED BY HARRY POTTER'S OFF-COLOR SKIT Daniel Radcliffe isn't the squeaky clean boy wizard some "Harry Potter" fans think he is. Radcliffe appeared in an off-color skit, dressed as a Boy Scout, propositioning an older woman. The skit has been picked up by YouTube, where it's drawing some outrage, but mostly amusement.

FANS SHOCKED BY HARRY POTTER'S OFF-COLOR SKIT

So I guess the whole EQUUS thing will make their heads expolode?

Your link goes to Buffistas -- is this about his Extras appearance?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Are they sure the skit wasn't just someone videotaping Radcliffe asking Amy Byrne out on a date?

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

He's propositioning Diana Rigg. It's understandable.
