Product Description
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.

I have the South Korean blu-ray for "Bedevilled" that was released on July 15, 2011 and that blu-ray delivers on all fronts. The film itself is a very powerful and intense study of suffering, reaching your limit and brutal, savage revenge. South Korean cinema never ceases to amaze and astound me. If you enjoyed South Korean films like "Howling", "Helpless", "The Chaser", "The Isle", "Memories of Murder", "Mother", "Secret Sunshine", "Mowhere To Hide", "Old Boy", "Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance", and "Lady Vengeance", then "Bedevilled" is right up your alley. I will buy Well Go Usa's blu-ray in appreciation for them releasing this intense film in the United States. I REALLY HOPE that Well Go USA picks up the South Korean film "Howling" (2012) next, starring Song Kang-Ho (who starred in films like "The Host", "Memories of Murder", "Hindsight", "Thirst", "The Quiet Family", "Secret Sunshine" and "Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance"). "Bedevilled" and "Howling" are MUST-SEE films! South Korea's "Helpless" and "The Cat" aka "Two Eyes That See Death" are also 2 newer South Korean films worth seeing. Don't hesitate, "Bedevilled" is not to be missed and it is a MUST-OWN blu-ray; it is not rental fodder.

A person can only be pushed to a certain limit,Enter a woman Protecting her child and that limit has been exceeded.
This film was heart breaking to watch yet entertaining because of the amazing acting by the two leading ladies who play childhood friends Bok-nam and Hae-won,Hae-won Going on to a live a nice cozy life and Bok-nam whom is thrust into a horror filled life . Hae-won moved to Seoul leaving Bok-Nam on the island, after several letters and calls from Bok-Nam,Hae-won finally decides to go visit her on the island and the two continue where they left off which wasn't always nice.It's a revenge fueled no holds barred Asian horror/thriller that doesn't involve ghosts but real circumstances that happen to more people than we can ever know.The films depiction makes us believe that it exists within this film and in real life as well.
It has some good gore scenes but isn't anywhere near as gory as many other Asian horror films although bloody and incredibly Violent but they give us enough for it to be very effective.You will think about this film long after you finish watching it.I watched it twice because I wanted to make sure I understood every aspect,the second viewing was more personal than the first.

"Bedevilled" is a beast of a movie coming from South Korea, the land of extraordinary film making (Just had to add that in). It takes us into the life of a very small community of islanders (9-10 people) that basically live by they're own rule. It is brutal, heart breaking, sad and horrifying all rolled into one great revenge film.
Hae-won is a young and stressed woman due to her job and a crime she witnessed. When she finally explodes at work her boss makes her take a vacation at which time she decides its best to get away. She takes a trip to where she grew up, Moodo Island, where she reconnects with her childhood friend Bok-nam who has a daughter of her own. As she settles in she notices that Bok-nam is treated like a slave by the whole community and is mistreated daily by her abusive boyfriend Man-Jong but yet never comes to her aid. One day Bok-nam tries to escape with her daughter only to get caught by Man-Jong.
In a violent struggle Bok-nams daughter is accidentally killed by Man-Jong prompting the community to cover up what really happened when an investigator is called in. Bok-nam finally losing her last straw, goes on a murderous rampage to exact revenge on those that have done her wrong and the people responsible for the death of her daughter, including her childhood friend Hae-won.
I absolutely loved this film. It shows how one person can be pushed around their whole life and finally snap when the one thing they loved the most is taken away from them. It tests the bonds of friendship and takes betrayal to a different level. It is a very violent and some what gory film that will suck you in and have you rooting for this poor abused woman as she cuts her way through this abusive community.
I really can't say anything bad about "Bedevilled" at all and recommend you pick up a copy and enjoy this South Korean masterpiece.
