Bedevilled (2010)

AKA: Kim Bok-Nam Salinsageonui Jeonmal

Director: Chul-soo Jang

Premise:
A woman takes a vacation to a small island where her grandfather lived and only a handful of people still live. Among those is a childhood girlfriend who the elder women treat like a work slave and the men use for their own desires. After her child is killed, the girl has enough and takes revenge out on those who have done her wrong.

My Take:
A lot of the scenes in this movie made me cringe. This poor woman is beaten, raped, and looked down upon by all. Yet she carries on. Until her little girl killed and then she finally snaps.
The movie moves a tad slow but that only allows the viewer to soak up what you have just seen and create sympathy for the woman. When the shit hits the fan there is plenty of realistic gore to be seen.
The brutality and hate from the characters ooze off the screen.

Rating: So Good
