Asian Cinema Series: Bedevilled

Cheol-soo Jang’s Bedevilled (2010) is a haunting story of violence, power, and vengeance. The film follows a disillusioned woman from Seoul who travels to a remote island to reconnect with a childhood friend. What she finds instead is a brutal community where her friend is trapped in a cycle of physical, mental, and sexual abuse.

As tensions rise, the oppressive environment erupts into a harrowing tale of survival and retribution. With its unflinching portrayal of cruelty and justice, Bedevilled has secured its place as a modern classic in South Korean thriller and horror cinema.

A must-see for those willing to confront the darkest sides of human nature on the big screen.
