The lions are this spawn from hell and evil force
It is perfectly believable for people in the late 19th century to have believed that these man-eating lions had some kind of spiritual, evil force behind them, especially tribes-people.

that seem to be depicted as deliberately strategizing against Val and co.
The lions did supposedly eat a 100 or more people IRL, and its not uncommon for large cats to hunt in a complex, strategic fashion for their prey.

How the narrative of the movie is depicted buys into the depiction of the lions as part of some intelligent malicious force in the world. The superstition of a literal devil is more than just a belief of some primitive characters. It is the story and how the scare factor is directed. It is a supernatural movie about wildlife. That is fine and all. I just found the concept more compelling as a child than I do as an adult. Some seem to take issue with that.
