Bedeviled
A week off with the flu can only mean one thing…. a chance to catch up with some movies. I kicked of my duvet-athon with Bedeviled
Hae-won (Seong-won Ji) is struggling with life and after witnessing an attempted murder plus work troubles she is told by her manager to take a bit of holiday, she decides to visit the remote island of Moodo, where she had visited relatives as a girl. Her childhood friend Bok-nam (Yeong-hie Seo) is delighted that she has returned though Hae-won quickly realises all is not well on the island.
The film is almost like a two parter, the first half explaining the characters and how they are to each other and with Bok-nam the islanders are particularly nasty treating her slave. At some points I found this quite difficult to watch.
The second half however is all out gore fest, and we see how someone can be tortured to the point they lose it.
I would recommend this if you have a strong stomach and can take something which at times is very hard going. Though I would say that Yeong -hie Seo was brilliant in what must have been a very hard role to play.
