One particularly uninspiring plot development comes in the form of Trevor, played by Thomas McDonell, a young man from the outside world who takes an interest in Mary and ultimately comes to her rescue.

Where the Devil Hides, ladies and gentlemen. Set mostly within the grounds of the community, its adjacent woodland and lakeside setting, Where The Devil Hides has something of a Friday the 13th (1980) feel to it, but also draws heavily from earlier religious cult films like Wes Craven’s Deadly Blessing (1981).

Five young women are suspected of being the devil incarnate by the devout religious community in which they live. The film was released direct-to-video on October 14, 2014, and centers upon five girls born into an Amish community that believes them to be part of a Satanic prophecy. It is unfortunate, as there is plenty within the film itself – not to mention within the concept of closed, religious communities alone – that might have warranted a decent documentary or ‘making-of’ featurette. One girl, Mary (Alycia Debnam Carey), daughter of Jacob is finally told the truth about the prophecy. Tags Adelaide Kane Alycia Debnam Carey Christian E.

The acting is fairly good but nothing that really stands out. While the end didn’t shock me, I wasn’t expecting it the way it unfolded, but I wasn’t disappointed. Such as the scene where he examines Mary, Beacon seemed to enjoy it more than he should have. Where The Devil Hides fits into this bracket. Sometime later the film embarks on a curious, sexually-awkward coming-of-age storyline before quickly realising it really wants to be a slasher film after all while returning to even more spookiness in the final act. Mary continues to reveal the truth behind her past including what happened to her mother many years ago. The f... CERT: 15 / PLATFORM: 4K UHD / RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW All the while, the people are being led by the insane Elder Beacon who is convinced that these girls are evil and must be continuously examined for signs of the devil taking over. Problems aside, this is a well-crafted and beautifully shot film that manages to maintain a cold, stolid aesthetic throughout, acutely reflecting the ideological prison in which many of the characters find themselves. Mary, already fraught with strange visions and uncontrollable seizures, must now race against time to unravel the mystery of her and her closest friends, but as the days go past, her friends come up missing and are found dead.

As the girls are murdered one by one, both Mary (Alycia Debnam Carey) and her father Jacob (Rufus Sewell) begin to doubt whether their leaders truly have their best interests at heart. A group of young girls start to go missing within a religious town. It is difficult to truly engage in either the characters or story, such is the rather uninspiring use of plot and character development. Argo Mission: Impossible -- Fallout Hell or High Water Memento The Departed. It is difficult to truly engage in either the characters or story, such is the rather uninspiring use of plot and character development. Six girls born on the sixth day of the sixth month marks the beginning of an ancient prophecy of one who will become “hand of the devil”. As the notable birthday approaches, one of the group, Jacob’s daughter Mary (Debnam Carey), begins to experience seizures and visions, and when two girls go missing under suspicious circumstances the community begins to believe the prophecy may actually be coming true. Refusing to give a name to the religious group at the centre of the piece smacks of politically correct cowardice, and in sterilising any hint of horror to the point of blandness the film has failed in everything it has set out to do; not scary, not tense… just not interesting. Colm Meaney plays Elder Beacon, the psychopathic, tyrannical leader of the community who leads a campaign of suspicion and damnation against the young women.

His character becomes the standard ‘saving grace’ boyfriend horror trope, complete with local sheriff dad. Ronny Yu’s slice of Asian phantasmagoria gets a fine Blu-ray release courtesy of Eureka. When the babies are born, Elder Beacon (Colm Meaney) tries to kill the infants to stop the prophecy, but one father, Jacob Brown (Rufus Sewell) stops him, but before he knows it, one mother has decided to end her infant’s life before taking her own. Initially focussing on the supernatural, the story begins in an isolated, and non-specific, religious community (we’ll get to that later) and the warning of a soon to be realised prophecy.

The five remaining girls, now nearing their eighteenth birthday are not aware of the prophecy that they are a part of. Synopsis: The second is in the song that accompanies the end credits, although sheer relief may have played a factor in affecting judgement. On the eighteenth birthday there is said to only be one girl remaining, and that girl will become the “hand of the devil” and do his bidding.

Film Review: Where the Devil Hides (2014). Where the Devil Hides works well at keeping a few paces ahead of the viewers for the better part of the viewing not giving away too much information all at once the way some movies do. While I don’t know if it’s the fault of the writing or his delivery, I would have liked to see Elder Beacon showing a more insane side rather than a mean tyrannical side. Where the Devil Hides, on the other hand, launches a wholly unpleasant sensory assault on any viewer unlucky enough to have unwittingly pressed play. The religious cult horror movie is perhaps one of the least celebrated of sub-genres, when you consider the attention paid to slashers, zombies and sharks in the modern age. But often these films benefit from the eye-catching, gothic aesthetic that befits the depiction of a stark, sombre, Puritan society.
