What happens

Bedeviled is a 2016 American supernatural horror film directed, written and produced by Abel Vang and Burlee Vang. Starring Saxon Sharbino, Mitchell Edwards, Victory Van Tuyl, Brandon Soo Hoo, Carson Boatman and Alexis G Zall. It follows a group of five friends who are haunted by a demonic entity after downloading a mysterious, Siri-like app that exploits their deepest fears to kill them. The film was released on October 22, 2016, at Screamfest LA, and was released in select theaters and on Digital HD on August 11, 2017. It was overwelmgly panned by critics, "deeply dumb" teen thriller that failed to deliver scares, citing issues like poor acting, a nonsensical plot centered around an evil app, cheap special effects, unconvincing characters, and a reliance on tired horror clichés rather than innovative storytelling. Many critics found the film to be a missed opportunity, noting its potentially interesting concept was poorly executed and resulted in a boring and cheap-looking final product.
