Part of a horror movie’s appeal lies in the allure of its poster, and Adrían García Bogliano’s Here Comes the Devil has delivered one creepy retro-inspired image. The artwork was released alongside a red band trailer, both of which should have audiences anticipating the Spanish shocker.
The film focuses on a two children who go missing in the caves of Tijuana, where they are changed by an evil force. It generated plenty of buzz at festivals such as Fantastic Fest, where it won multiple awards, and surprised critics with its sinister energy (our positive TIFF review highlighted the many stylistic strengths beneath the film’s carnal surface). For a glimpse at some of the creepy fun, check out the red band trailer and poster, courtesy of BloodyDisgusting/AICN, below:
Synopsis:
HERE COMES THE DEVIL combines modern indie filmmaking and storytelling with a hint of ‘70s-styled psychological horror that may not just be psychological. Francisco Barreiro and Laura Caro play parents Felix and Sol whose preteen son and daughter inexplicably reappear after being lost overnight on a desolate, cave-riddled mountainside after a casual hike became every parent’s nightmare. The good luck and good fortune of their return soon changes, as the children’s behavior suggests ominous and unspeakable events the night the children were lost that continue even now. As a loving couple – and loving parents – try to care for and protect their children, the ancient and half-whispered legends around the caves and the mountain and those who have gone there before become too strange to believe…and too dangerous, no matter how insane, to ignore.
Here Come the Devil hits VOD and limited theaters on Dec. 13th.
