Well, this is not that weekend! Brazilian indie horror film The Devil Lives Here (original language title: O Diabo Mora Aqui and short-lived English language title, The Fostering) sticks to the familiar frame of a plot but adds Brazilian folklore, the country’s black slave past with frightening visuals and top-notch acting to create a terrifying tale of demons unleashed.
