Have you ever watched a horror movie so bad that you hoped every character died? Because that is how I felt about BEDEVILED. A poorly acted, poorly developed, and not at all scary horror film that not only plays on all of the stereotypes possible, but kills in the most boring ways, and doesn't even show the audience the kills.
The plot if about a group of friends who get an app request from their dead friend, and they all decide to download the app, like idiots. The friends get the request from their dead friend, who died mysteriously after being "frightened to death." The girls boyfriend and her group of friends are all still mourning when they receive the mysterious request. One by one the teens die after being "scared to death" by something from their past, and really most of the things they are scared of are totally idiotic. I wouldn't have been scared of the things they were scared of.
The movie tried to add a little humor, but was just racist and uncomfortable. The characters were flat and dull. Not one of them stood out and I kept thinking that the two girls were the same person. The characters were so dull that I was hoping they would be killed, fast, slow, I didn't care as long at they all died. Not only were the characters flat and interchangeable, but the kills were lifeless and unimaginative.
BEDEVILED tried to be a movie of psychological horror, trying to scare the audience without giving them a view of the bodies, which made it even more boring. For a scary movie I needed to see the horrific ways in which these people were killed, instead of hearing their choked off screams as they were slaughtered. In fact, the kills would have made the movie a much better movie, or at least a little more fun.
The ending was predictable, and unnecessary. It should have been rewritten, but it wouldn't have made it a better movie.
So, I am going to tell you to skip this disappointment. It was not scary, it was not interesting, and really after watching a movie like UNFRIENDED (which wasn't the best movie but was at least and entertaining movie) it wasn't even an original idea.
