Remy – Here Comes The Devil
I know some people may have received screeners of Here Comes The Devil this year, but I was not one of them. So, as it is, this stands as the horror film I am most looking forward to next year – albeit with bitter jealousy.
Here Comes The Devil is a Mexican-American horror flick about a couple who lose their son and daughter overnight in some Tijuanan caves. When they re-appear the next day, the parents sense that something may be very wrong with them. The more they see and experience, the more they realize their children may have “brought” something home with them – something not so nice.
I can say, plainly, that this movie looks creepy as fuck (technical literary jargon). Seeped in an odd sense of the ominous, the feeling I get from watching just the trailer reminds me of the way I felt when I watched trippy horror films from the late seventies like Let’s Scare Jessica To Death. From me, that is a huge compliment. Here Comes the Devil looks incredibly stylish, and incredibly creepy, and for those reasons alone, this evil haunter is the horror film I’m most looking forward to seeing next year.
