Plot – Spoilers:
A Seoul bank employee, Hae-won, is cold to people in need of her help and to others who reach out to her from her past. After an incident at work where she loses her job, she heads to a small island where she spent a few summers as a kid with her grandfather.
The islanders are mostly old people wary of her, but her childhood friend, Bok-nam, is excited to meet her again after all those years. Bok-nam is now a slovenly woman, bullied and treated like shit by everyone around. To her, Hae-won represents everything aspirational and perhaps a way out of her daily grind. Hae-won though, enjoys Bok-nam’s company as a vacation-friend and finds it hard to seek anything deeper there.
So that’s why when I watched The Chaser, Mijin looks familiar to me. Seo Young Hee is such a great actress for portraying these roles.
The only relief from grief and suffering is bloodshed, which is exactly what we get. ‘Bedevilled’ is more than a story of a woman scorned, it’s about women’s constant struggle to find a place in the world and what happens when it is taken away from her. This is especially true for Asian cinema, as women are typically shown as more reserved and dainty, trying not to make a ripple in the ocean that is a man’s world. Not only is ‘Bedevilled’ a beautiful representation of Korean horror but its beauty is reflected in the simplicity of its collinear objective.
Kill yourself you feminist fuck. Women this women that, it’s ridiculous how women like you supposedly don’t like sexism but every talking point and coincidentally comment you make on this site is sexist as fuck. You never talk about the whole, only women this, women that, a giant guilt trip to make things better for yourself. You wouldn’t be alive if some men hadn’t taken a liking to your maternal ancestors for millennia, you ungrateful fuck. But now when society has gotten so safe that it basically can replace the father as the breadwinner of the family, now you feel brave enough say something. Small minded cretin-like women like you at least.
Furthermore, the only reason the kike establishment allows or even pushes a women’s movement is because women in the workplace are a commodity to be mined, just like men. I’ve never seen anyone so fickle as to happily and chest-thumpingly join an already enslaved workforce. You completely fucked up any leverage against the rich we had. Because of women’s ego the nuclear family is dead and wages can be half of what they were, because two people are working (in actuality wages stay the same though while prices rice). Thanks women!
Also are you a literal fucking psychopath? The only relief from grief and suffering is bloodshed? Sounds like narcissist reasoning to me. But I guess no surprises there! At least I hope you channel your anger better before you act on it you misled fucking child.
Imagine if you spent half that brainpower on real issues instead of blaming the world that daddy didn’t love you. You should follow the trail of abuse, it goes much higher than “men”. Ugh.
And that’s not to say there aren’t absolutely disgusting specimen of men out there too, who use their sex-specific attributes to get ahead in life, but they’re fairly fucking easy to avoid. Though maybe that’s the kind of man you’d be if you had a dick, instead of just being one.
And to all you wet farts out there, I have nothing against individual jews, but if there’s a bully on the schoolyard and he literally murders smaller virtually defenseless kids, while teachers do nothing because he’s of rich stock, you can bet your gonads I’ll be calling that kike motherfucker every name in the book. We gotta stand together against zionist evil, or we all lose.
I want to apologize for the start of my rant. I stand by most of my talking points but I should not have told you to kill yourself. I was in a shitty fucking place and I’m sorry.
But in all seriousness, the ONLY relief from grief and suffering is bloodshed? There are WAY better reliefs than that, like fucking, idk, organized resistance, assertion, civil disobedience? Yeah in extreme cases that can mean bloodshed but by no means is it the ONLY way. Man it really pisses me off when someone vocalizes such a crude opinion so well-spokenly. It’s like a sophisticated edgelord or something. So much potential but so misguided. You know what the funny thing is, I bet that a man will show himself to be your prime ally in overthrowing “the patriarchy” one day, because guess what, there’s a lot of normal dudes who are tired of the bullying ways of the ones in power. But none of this will happen if you can’t set your pride aside and accept your differences amicably.
i loved the show even though it made me cry a lot
One of my favorite movies, 10/10 recommend.
Amazing movie. Beautiful location, perfect acting all the way through. HIGHLY intelligent writing and genuine tension and possibly catharsis… This is my favorite of the Korean movies I watched, mainly because it’s so deep and realistic – the character relationships anyway. Makes western stuff seem so puerile.
bleedin bloody great stuff
MISERY DEPRESSING
spoilers-
lmaooo dumbass probably caused more damage taking that knife out then she did stabbing him
Japan better.
ye the best!
such a good movie, wow!
Fully deserved everything she got for downing a Guinness straight from the fridge like that.
Outside of Ireland Guinness is piss. By the time they outreach it to asia its just a syrup that gets the local water added. I rarely drink the stuff because the company does not give a shit about quality. The fact she can drink it strait from a fridge shows its more a larger than a stout.
very good movie indeed, i watched it maybe 10 years ago but i remember vividly the plot. its true that city folks dont get along in korea at all with the rural folks and vice versa,
i saw the devil was 100x better tho! the chaser 2008 was also pretty good. just to name a few.
Yes another great film on EUM,.. Well done thru out, and had a feel good ending. LOVED IT.
Loved this one! I enjoyed it more than “I saw the devil” which was also a great one in my opinion.
main character is a little bit annoying … slow start but second half makes up for it . awesome
Another brilliant Korean movie.
Good story.. fast paced enough but the first 45 quite plot heavy.
Some fine acting as usual and some nice comedy touches for us sick sods…
Hae won whore bitch she should have died too.
Hi peach
How sad that the shit-eaters have come back. It was almost too dick-suckingly tranquel for a few days but once again Steve and Bies have brought their stench.
stfu douche bag
Nah…….
OK, let me make my point: I am disappointed with what the world has become during my life. Large parts of this world are now governed by autocratic criminals, and freedom of speech and thought is not possible anymore in these countries. Even in a ‘civilized’ country like the USA these freedoms seem no longer assured. It is worse than this: At this moment people are tortured for being what they are or expressing what they think!
Now, in these times, we should be eternally grateful for the existence of a site like effedupmovies which allows us to see movies made by people who do not have readily accepted the prevailing the ideas of society, often imposed by the church or other authorities. Movies that were forbidden, made by directors who had to fear for their lives.
For this reason, I would appreciate it if the ‘childish’, pointless and utterly rude reactions to the movies shown here would stop. By now I am disgusted by these reactions. Let us concentrate on the freedom of thought expressed in these movies, and most of all, let us respect how these movies support the freedom of people to the sexual identity and preference which they prefer (make no mistake, I am heterosexual).
And to the Admin(s): make the idea of ‘effed up’ more political and psychological. This splatter stuff becomes as boring as pornography.
God you’re just like that whiny cunt who was crying about people replying to old comments not long ago. Theres always gonna be asswipes trolling all over this site no matter what, so just ignore them or if its too overwhelming for you, fuck off from the site altogether.
Says the arse-troll who never writes anything remotely about films on a film site.
well done for missing the point moron
Mate you just sound like woketard, brony type lol let ppl troll if they like, don’t be a sensitive bitch seems as you’re a “heterosexual” MAN UP THEN!
Also you’re acting like this site is the only site where we can watch disturbing movies. I find eum convenient coz there’s always subtitles
Beautifully…eloquently said Sir🤩🥹💯
Fuckin legendary, mate
too much korean sh.t here
I fail to understand why you write that there are too many Korean movies here. Compare the quality of the Asian (or even Korean) movies on this site with that of the American movies; the difference is shocking. By which I do not want to say that American movies are no good; I think there are great movies made in the US and Canada, although many may not be suited for this site.
you racist fuck
Loved the movie. nice acting and very artistic. somewhat hyperbolic but still enjoyable
Why tf was Hae-Won set up as the “heroine”/final girl!? She was as annoying, cold and cowardly as all the rest of the old cows, even worse, and deserved the same fate
hae-won was annoying af and deserved to be dead idc if she redeemed herself in the end I was rlly rooting for her downfall
Dear Shane, I totally agree with your positive reaction. ‘Bedevilled’ is a movie which is always there in lists of the type ‘The best Korean movies of…’. So we should be grateful to the Admin(s) for offering this movie to us. Expressing your gratitude (and mine) has nothing to do with ‘kissing Admins ass’.
It is about time that the Admin(s) consider blocking pointless reactions (see below) in which a reasonable, constructive person like Shane is called a ‘fuckin bootlicker’.
Mind your own business shit for brains no one asked you to become the white knight of anyone and keep your considerations to yourself fag
Old Man Staines and Crusty Pants sticking together.
Yeah its kinda ridiculous looking at the comments from a movie posted a couple of years ago compared to now. It’s gone from actually being able to discuss a movie, to children (I can only assume) downvoting anything positive and trying to be as edgy as possible. It’s quite entertaining how retarded it can get at times
I am gay can you suck my cock please.
thanks for putting up more Korean stuff, awesome revenge movie
Nice job Admin,cheers,brilliant
& bloody revengefick,enjoy people,it’s a good one
Shut up Shane stop kissing Admins ass you fuckin bootlicker

Says,lots,but,knows,he,does,not,have,any,guts,either.
Thanks for proving my point,fucking moron
*Gutless,Dickless…..SeeI can do that too,congrats
