The movie

Hae-won, a beautiful single woman in her thirties, works in Seoul and leads a hip, urban life. After witnessing a murder attempt, she is forced by her boss to keep a low profile and leave the city. Upon returning to her childhood island home, she is reunited with her friend Boj-nam, who has become the slave of the small local community. A sexual plaything for men, free labor for women, the unfortunate Boj-nam begs Hae-won to save her. But Hae-won remains indifferent, an attitude which will have dramatic consequences... Between Lars Von Trier, Kim Ki-duk and Sam Raimi, Bedevilled evades all classification. The film takes the viewer by surprise, through abrupt changes of genre and rhythm. Be prepared for an astonishing outcome!
