'Here Comes the Devil' is an excellent example of how to stretch your hard-earned dollars to make a small film that is entertaining. Thankfully, and gratefully, someone made a horror film without drunk teenagers in a remote cabin in the woods where cellphones don't work and the local gas station has Ted Bundy for a clerk.I've been enjoying the depth and quality of foreign horror for a long time. Somehow, they seem to get it right, from 'Interior' to 'Dogtooth' to 'Man Bites Dog'. The frat/sorority/high school clone movies you see these days have no story or tension. Hell, you can see more blood from a skinned knee than from some of these travesties. 'Here Comes the Devil' is not a masterpiece but it is time well spent.The basic story has been told many times before so there's no need to write a synopsis here. What is interesting, though, is the way the movie evolves. It's unpredictable and well-acted. It's very refreshing to see a horror movie that doesn't turn out to be a waste of time. Yes, 'Here Comes the Devil' is no 'Exorcist', but in this day and age, it'll do.

A horror movie from Mexico with nothing new to add to the genre. It all begins with two young women having a close encounter of a sexual nature which has nothing to do with the rest of the film. It seems to ne leftover footage from another project. We switch to a young couple with a son and daughter of about twelve or thirteen playing near a rocky mountain where the kids go missing for a while. They eventually reappear with severe changes in behavior; sort of Stepford children. A few Exorcist moments are thrown in, and by the end of day I was bored by the whole thing. The acting is competent and camera work very low budget looking; so at best a 5/10.

Very interesting film that reminds me of pet cemetery. There was just a little bit to much nudity for my taste but it wasn't overly excessive to the point of diminishing the movie. When I see many of the reviews for this film I have to wonder if the reviewers watch many low budget horror movies. You either understand and enjoy this kind of film or you don't. there is a whole lot of subtext in this film. The main problem for me is that it isn't in English and reading the subtitles takes me out of the film, and makes it harder to catch nuances in it too. All in all as far as b or foreign horror gives, this is well acted, shot, edited and the story isn't out in left field. The pace will be a bit slow for some viewers. A great Netflix night pick. I'd love see an American remake.

I'm completely appalled at any rating above 2 stars for this movie! It was horrible all the way around.It starts off with 2 naked women grinding on each other..I know most horror films have nudity/sex, but can I at least get my soda open before I'm bombarded with breasts everywhere!?! Way too much dramatic zooming of the camera,drawn out story line & characters doing things that just don't make sense. The adult characters were OK actors for the most part, but those kids need to take some more lessons asap.So much more could have been done with this story. I've seen some bad movies in my lifetime & this is in the top 10 of worst ever. Don't waste your time, you'd be better off watching paint dry.
