Search: Starring Javier Botet

Pareja and Botet often perform comedy together and have a seasoned chemistry which makes it easy to buy into the depth and intensity of their characters’ relationship.

For the first hour or so of its runtime, Devil's Gate smoulders with tension, piling on one horror after another as its spins out its central mystery.

Director Dominic Bridges and co-writer Rae Brunton strike a delicate balance between the comedic and the sinister.

The film is worth watching for the good work from its two leads.

Instead of ticking off normal narrative beats, Vermut revels in humanity's natural unpredictability, often having his characters act on impulse or a whim.

Clive Tonge's feature debut benefits from good pacing, solid performances and a focus on building up an atmosphere of dread.

The acting lacks the raw feel from the first film.

There are images here that will be forever etched in genre lore.

An engrossing and very terrifying experience.

Times are tough, women are either chattels or the stuff of magical realist dream sequences and dialogue is frequently cut adrift in favour of animalistic grunts and muscularity.

Peppered with loving references to other genre classics the film is flamboyant, kinky, kitsch and irresistibly irreverent.
