Bedevilled is an outstanding and award-winning film

The story revolves two childhood friends, Hye Won and Bok Nam. When Hye Won visited the island where she grew up, she reconnected with Bok Nam, who is now an abused wife and a target of misogyny by the locals.I first watched this film in 2011. I never attempted to watch it again ever since. That is until earlier, when I was cleaning my stuff and found my old thumb drive containing movies, including this one. It's a story of friendship, love, abuse, and revenge. I actually ended up sympathizing with Bok Nam as she hacks every single person in her village to death.

Seo Young Hee and Hwang Geum Hee delivered superb performance playing main characters. Seo Yeong Hee, in particular, nailed her role as Bok Nam, from a meek wife and a loving mother, to a vengeful woman in the end.

Bedevilled is Jang Cheol Soo's first film which earned him several awards. He recently directed one of SF8's episode, White Crow. True to his roots, White Crow revolves a dark, eerie storyline. It was SF8's darkest episode in the series.

An oustanding and award-winning Korean thriller, Bedevilled is a must-see film.
