Bedevilled [Blu-ray]

Heart Breaking and Relentless
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...

Intense, moving, violent, yet sad film. MUST-SEE!!!
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 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...

"A Vacation to Where Evil Dwells"
"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.

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...
