Anyone who has a smart phone knows that installing new apps can be a dicey game sometimes. Bloatware, malware, huge drains on the battery, and hours wasted trying to get the high score on games like "Where Did Grandma Hide that Zucchini?" are all very real things, and can be terrifying in their own right.
So just imagine an app that loads a haunted virus on your phone that learns your deepest, darkest fears, and then uses them to scare you, and kill you to death.
That's what Bedeviled is all about.
Mr. Bedevil is a Siri-like app for the ages. It will make witty comments, turn on lights for you, and help you organize your life is a fun and efficient manner. It will also kill you, because it's haunted. I mean, doesn't the name kind of give you the impression that it's creepy right away? Why would you even install it when it randomly shows up on your phone? Ever hear of spyware?
YOU'RE CUTE, BABY, BUT YOU AIN'T VERY BRIGHT. |
HANGING WITH FRIENDS IN 2017 IS SO MUCH FUN. |
IF ONLY HE WERE ALLOWED TO BROWSE REDDIT, HE'D STILL BE ALIVE. |
Scary smart phone stuff ensues.
LIKE SHE COULD EVEN HACK THE MATRIX! |
Here's the problem with most Teen Terror flicks like this: everyone is model-level gorgeous; they all live in beautiful homes that make us wonder what do their parents do to afford all of that; and those same parents never seem to be around much as their kids are being terrorized and brutally killed. I also never understand how in these movies when someone dies, their closest friends mourn them for like a minute, and then it's back to laughter and normalcy, or they dive into some intense investigation. Real emotions don't work like that, at least not with human beings they don't.
I guess what I'm saying is that most of them exist to show some pretty people in scary situations, and there isn't much depth or realism to most of them. Just like Bedeviled.
THOSE DEAD EYES... |
BUT THERE IS A HAUNTED DANCE-OFF. THAT WAS COOL. |
YEAH, US TOO. |
I'm probably being generously giving it a C, but we actually didn't hate watching it. Rent with caution though.

Bedeviled is available on VOD now.
Bedeviled's eye candy game was on point though. There's no disputing that.
