Hae-won (Seong-won Ji) is a woman on the edge: a series of incidents at work earn her a forced "vacation," but when she travels to a remote island from a childhood visit, at the urgent request of her friend Kim Bok-nam (Yeong-hie Seo), she has no idea what devils of the past are waiting. Moo-do Island is an unpleasant place to visit, and you definitely don't want to live there. Bok-nam is crumbling under a weight of violence, sexual menace, and fear -- with no means of escaping her tormentors. The vengeful rage that waits inside her is growing, and her sanity shredding. If Hae-won can't help her escape, she may have to take matters into her own hands, once and for all.

Boyd van Hoeij Variety 10/19/2021
Too arty for K-horror buffs and too grisly and nonsensical for world-cinema aficionados. Go to Full Review
Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter 10/19/2021
In his first feature, the Korean director shows a good grasp of how to build gradual suspense ... Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Little White Lies 02/02/2011
It is this contrast between the two women that energises Bedevilled, a character-driven slowburner that builds ever so deliberately to its murderous climax. Go to Full Review
Bianca Garner Filmotomy 10/04/2024
Bedevilled looks beautiful with impressive cinematography from Kim Gi-tae and a haunting score by Kim Tae-seong which is a perfect accompaniment to Jang Cheol-soo’s direction. Go to Full Review
Scott A. Johnson Dread Central 10/19/2021
4.5/5
Do not go in expecting feel-good emotions, a typical slasher, or even to not be offended. This movie will make you angry. Period. But it also pays off cinematic gold. Go to Full Review
Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy 10/19/2021
As a first-time director, Jang builds the atmosphere and mood in an unusual way. Go to Full Review

Shaun R @Shaun666 Nov 29 A slow burner which exploded into life. A nice little revenge film, which despite having some silly moments, was entertaining enough to keep me engaged. See more Jun 6 This is an excellent and very powerful and moving movie, with excellent acting. I would highly recommend it. See more May 6 A very sad movie. The ending should have been satisfying. Poor woman... See more Jurena 04/21/2023 I love psychological movies, but this one made me close my eyes, clinch my fists, and hug my pillow. Acting is 💯 good! Story is genius. DEFINITELY MUST WATCH! See more 09/13/2020 Great revenge film! The acting (especially from Seo Young-Hee) is extraordinary!! The scenery and photography is beautiful! See more 05/09/2020 "Bedevilled" is brutal, exaggerated and doesn't have the most satisfying ending. It is still pulsating and energetic. See more Read all reviews
