HERE COMES THE DEVIL
Written & Directed by Adrián García Bogliano
Distributed by Magnet Releasing

  I love foreign horror films.  There are so many great horror films out there from all over the world.  If you are not checking out foreign horror, then you are really missing out.    HERE COMES THE DEVIL is a great horror film made in Mexico. Hers is the plot of the film from the movie's official website:

  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 re-appear 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.

  I highly recommend this movie.  This film kept me entertained the entire run of the film.  The acting was good, especially by the actors playing the grieving parents.   One thing I loved about this film was how original it was.   There is a huge twist in the film involving the kids, and it is one I never saw coming.  I obviously can't reveal the twist here, but it is one that will really make you think.  

  While blood and gore wasn't the main focus of the film, there were a couple of instances of some very good gore.  This film is more about the story and it is a good story for sure.  Very creepy and entertaining.   My one complaint with this film was the cinematography.  It looks like a different camera was used for some scenes, resulting in two different video qualities throughout the film. Also there was an over excessive use of the "fast zoom" in this film. I don't know if there is a technical term for it or not, but it's like what they used in old spaghetti westerns and kung-fu movies.  You will know what I am talking about when you see it, and you will see it way too often in this movie.  It doesn't take away from the film as a whole, but it was a little distracting.

 Overall this is was a great film, I thought.  This is one I would recommend to any horror fan, especially those that are fans of foreign horror films.

 HERE COMES THE DEVIL will be released on DVD and Blu-ray March 18th from Magnet Releasing.  Special Features include the following:

*  Extended Nightmare Scene
*  Behind the Scenes
*  Rehearsals

SLAUGHTER DAUGHTER
Directed by Travis Campbell
Distributed by Brain Damage Films

  I haven't seen many films from Brain Damage Films, so I wasn't sure what to expect from SLAUGHTER DAUGTHER, but what I got was very well made, entertaining slasher / drama film with some excellent gore!  Here is the  basic plot of the film from the Brain Damage Films website:

After being left at the altar, Farrah has a mental break. Now she spends her time flipping through the 24 hour news cycle, and fueling her obsession with serial killer Jackson Miles. When her mother announces her upcoming wedding, Farrah seeks help from her jailed love to plot out the perfect murder

  This was a very well made film with some great acting from lead Nicola Fiore, who plays the part of Farrah. She is a beautiful actress, but can play the part of a sadistic killer perfectly.   It's hard to describe what sub-genre off a horror movie this fits into.  It is part crime film, part slasher flick, part revenge film...all rolled into one.  Gore hounds will love the large amount of blood in this film.  There are some great gore scenes including a stabbing scene that is brutally realistic.

  SLAUGHTER DAUGHTER is available now on DVD from Brain Damage Films and the DVD includes the following Special Features:

*  Original Webisodes
*  Promo Video
*  Blooper Reel
*  Deleted Scenes

  I just got a screener in the mail for a Spanish horror film called HERE COMES THE DEVIL. The film was written and directed by , who I first heard about from the 2012 film THE ABC's OF DEATH  (he did the B is for Bigfoot segment).  I had never heard of HERE COMES THE DEVIL, so I wasn't sure what to expect.  I went and watched the trailer for it tonight and it looks really good.  Here is the basic plot of the film, courtesy of Magnet Releasing:

  A couple's son and daughter inexplicably reappear after being lost overnight on a desolate, cave-riddled mountainside. Becoming withdrawn and beginning to exhibit strange behavior, their parents quickly assume something sinister happened to them while missing and alone. But after hearing an ominous local legend... the concerned mother and father begin to realize that their children may have fallen prey to something inhuman - and that this dark, unstoppable evil has now returned home with them.

Check out the trailer and let me know what you think!  I will have a full review of the film in the upcoming week!

DAWNA THE DEAD
Written & Directed by Laume Conroy
Distributed by Film Trauma

  I had heard about this film for years, but never had the chance to check it out until now.   This is not the typical movie reviewed on the 4H blog, but I never pass up a zombie movie!  DAWNA THE DEAD is not just any zombie movie though, it's a zombie adult film...yes, it's zombie porn.  Here is the "plot" of the film from the Film Trauma website:

Eveningside cemetery rests over one of the 6 gates to hell. Dawna, a girl who can't let go of her dead boyfriend visits his grave every chance she gets, and the night of the big party is no exception. but what she doesn't know is that tonight the gate will open.

  The term "plot" is saying a lot, as there really is not much to the movie in terms of the plot.  Basically zombies rise from the grave and have sex with all the girls that came to the cemetery for a party.  Apparently zombies have physical needs too...who knew?  In terms of a zombie movie, it is actually very well done considering I'm sure it had a minuscule budget.  The zombie effects look really good, even though some of the zombies are just masks that the actors wear.  The film is done in a very cool style, made to look like an older film from the 70's or 80's, complete with film scratches and flaw marks and even old creepy 80's style music that fits the film perfectly.   I actually really enjoyed the zombie part of this film, unfortunately, the sex scenes make up the majority of the film. 

 While most adult films are meant to arouse and stimulate the viewer, this one was made more to just shock the audience.   At least, I think (and hope) it was.  I can't imagine there are people out there that are genuinely aroused by the sight of a rotting zombie having sex with a woman, complete with nasty slime and green zombie juices! Yuck!!!  This might be the first adult film where you'll fast forward through the sex scenes to the get to the dialog parts! Ha!  It's true, I had to fast forward through most of the sex scenes in this film...they were just too gross for me.  But that is the point of this film, to disgust and shock, so the filmmakers succeeded there for sure!

  It's hard to recommend this one, but if you think you've "seen it all", then you might want to check this out and I think you will find that you have not seen it all yet!  It's good for a laugh and a shock, that is for sure.    Be sure to check out the Blooper Reel in the special feature section for a good laugh as well.
