Bedevilled

Longtime assistant director to Kim Ki-duk, Jang Cheol-soo's debut feature Bedevilled is a horror thriller set in Moo-do, a remote island of nine residents, where Bok-nam (Seo Young-hee from The Chaser) is treated like a slave by her husband and the rest of the Moo-do residents. Tired of the relentless torture and abuse, Bok-nam plans an escape with her daughter, which ends in tragedy, leaving her in absolute despair. Driven by brutal rage, Bok-nam must seek revenge on those who have been “unkind” to her.
