This movie destroyed me. I watched it twice and I picked up on so many little details the second time around. This movie will break some people's hearts. There is a lot of cruelty in this movie and some may find the gore over the top. I felt so bad for Bok-nam and how she gave and gave, while everyone treated her like a dog. This movie is tragic and touching and I think it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Korea makes such great movies, I wish Hollywood would get over the superficial crap and be brave and produce even a few movies of this quality.My personal opinion, pay attention to all the little details. If you are an unsophisticated movie watcher like me, watch this movie twice and see how intricately made this movie is. I saw Bok-nam's selfessness and I empathized with her when she broke mentally. I literally cried after watching this, twice.

This is total trash. And this won quite a few kudos from the intellectuals of some film festivals. How do you say stupid in Korean? And how do you say sadistic exploitation movie disguised as "art"? Some people, I guess, get their kicks out of watching this kind of crap. Note that I gave it a 3, all the same because of the few laughs (unintended) I got along the way.

This Thriller it's so emotional revenge with no mercy for who do not tell the truth for good reason, I think that what I love with this movie. and what what make me so enjoy it's no one support this woman. everybody just don't like her. it's so brutal for me. the whole island its to many hate, and I enjoy with revenge what she doing because so many hurt in her heart. I think that's a good reason for kill people, this movie it's so amazing to look if you like thriller with take a good revenge. same with her I don't like who with heart of stone who denied the truth for it's safe. no one like who with heart of stone right? this is story about broken home but you can't leave and run for any reason even your husband it's a jerk.That's what I can say!

In Seoul, the thirty and something year-old bank clerk Hae-Won (Seong- won Ji) is a heartless and selfish single woman that tramples on coworkers and clients. He boss orders her to take vacation since she is stressed and Hae-Won decides to spend a week on her grandfather's hometown in the primitive and tiny Moodo Island. She is welcomed by her childhood friend Kim Bok-nam (Yeong-hie Seo) that lives in the island and treats Hae-Won with great affection. Bok-nam is an abused woman that works like a slave, married with the brutal and stupid Man- jong (Jeong-hak Park) and has a little daughter Kim Yeon-hee (Ji-eun Lee). The four Man-jong's aunties and his brother also abuses of Bok- nam and Man-jong's catatonic father also live in Moodo. Bok-nam asks her friend if she could go with her daughter to Seoul with her but Hae-Won refuses the request. Then Bok-nam begs to Hae-Won to take her daughter with her, but she also refuses. Soon Bok-nam finds that her husband is having sex with her daughter and she decides to flee from the island with Yeon-hee. However Man-jong discovers and beats her and her daughter, but Yeon-hee hits her head on a stone and dies. When the police inspector arrives in Moodo, Man-jong and his family lie to him telling that it was an accident and Hae-Won's testimony is not supported by the indifferent Bok-nam that claims that was sleeping. When Man-jong and his brother go to the mainland, Bok-nam has a breakdown and uses a scythe to kill her hateful aunties. What will she do next?"Kim Bok-nam salinsageonui jeonmal", a.k.a. Bedevilled, is another great Korean film. The story, screenplay and direction are outstanding and the performances are top-notch. Yeong-hie Seo deserved at least a nomination to the Oscar with her impressive performance. The inhuman and sadistic treatment of Kim Bok-nam is one of the cruelest ever seen in a film and Hae-Won is a bitch. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): Not available on Blu-Ray or DVD.
