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.

Variety

Too arty for K-horror buffs and too grisly and nonsensical for world-cinema aficionados.

In his first feature, the Korean director shows a good grasp of how to build gradual suspense ...

It is this contrast between the two women that energises Bedevilled, a character-driven slowburner that builds ever so deliberately to its murderous climax.

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.

Dread Central

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.

Rated: 4.5/5

As a first-time director, Jang builds the atmosphere and mood in an unusual way.

Basically, this is a sad story about friendship, abuse, betrayal and revenge. It is very well done and one of the better movies that I have seen in awhile. I would not want to watch this again though, because it is too uncomfortable; but it feels very authentic, except that bad people rarely seem to get what is coming to them in life from my experience. That is the crazy fantasy element of it, but, none the less, it is an interesting movie and worth a watch.

"Bedevilled" is brutal, exaggerated and doesn't have the most satisfying ending. It is still pulsating and energetic.
