BeDevil is an innovative rendering of three childhood mysteries from the imagination of filmmaker, visual artist and photographer Tracey Moffatt. Moffatt's breathtaking style - drawing on influences as diverse as Vincente Minelli and Masaki Kobayashi - makes BEDEVIL one of the most dazzling feature debuts in Australian cinema. BeDevil consists of three episodes making up the feature, they are: Mr Chuck, Choo Choo Choo Choo and Lovin' the spin I'm in.

1. Mr Chuck: The sandy shores and the breezy bungalows of Bribie Island play host to a strange and eerie story. Years back an American GI drove his truck into the quicksand after a party. The pervasive malevolence of the GI's presence is still felt by many who live on the island. However, there is another underlying evil that remains unspoken. Rick experienced it and lived to tell the tale. --2. Choo Choo Choo Choo: In the desolate plains of outback Queensland, Ruby (played by Moffatt herself) and her family are haunted by invisible trains which run on a track beside their house. The ghost of a young girl killed by a train drives Ruby and her family away. After many years Ruby returns to experience the ghostly presence yet again. --3. Lovin' the spin I'm in: Imelda's people are Torres Strait Islanders. When her son Bebe and his love, Minnie, leave their community to escape opposition to their marriage, Imelda follows them to a small town in north Queensland. Tragedy strikes - Bebe and Minnie die, but the doomed couple never find peace. The spirits of Minnie and Bebe dance on a condemned warehouse and refuse to leave.
