Review of Here Comes the Devil (2012) by Ws W — 08 Aug 2014

This movie is mostly style over substance but also no style. The film is more laughable then scary at points and you wind up not caring, I literally was checking my iPod and almost stopped watching, also one thing that's interesting is how much nudity is in this film.

I've never really been so up tight about nudity (wolf on Wall Street is one of my favorites) but it has to have some kind of reason to be there. The movie begins with a very hardcore lesbian in sex scene and in the end it was so the director could film it and also show off some gore(I'll get to that in a second).

I would have been so mad if any of the characters were referenced later on in the film but no, these characters were only in the film to show them make out. Now if this film tried to do something with the amount of sex in this film in the vain of something like David croeneburg or Clive barker that would have been fine but in a movie about possessed kids it's kinda uncomfortable especially since this kinda includes the kids.

Also that's another thing I said it was about possessed kids but really I'm not even sure it's about that, it instead focusses more on the parents so much that you actually forget they're In the movie and when they begin to do weird stuff it actually is more random than build up.

Also do point is that the kids hardly do anything it's the parents that do the killings and other scary stuff so much who begin to wonder what the director was actually thinking. And also the ending is about as sudden as a car crash it just hits and a you don't know what but also you can't help but laugh at what happens in the movie, and just doesn't explain anything and feels more like a scene in the middle of the film the an actually ending.

One more thing that I say before I finish up is how grotesque the gore is. Now normally I'd be praising a film about having some awesome gore but in this it's just ridiculous and funny, I kept thinking to myself "man if this was Jason I would be in love with this movie" but instead I'm laughing at how impossible and crazy it is.

It's sad cause for awhile I was really wanting to see this but now I am just disappointed in this. It's just a boring, pointless movie with enough nudity to make the most straightest man scream but a shirt on.
