The Devil Lives Here ... - The Fostering review by NP
This Brazilian horror tale is many things: fast-moving, scary, sexy, nicely directed, unpredictable. So much is going on that by the end, you'll be begging for a bit of clarity. I was, and I'm very happy with films that leave their audience guessing. A second watch is advised, and such is the high-octane plethora of frightening occurrences hurled your way, that delving in again will be no problem.
Why there aren't more horror films from Brazil is a mystery, if directors Rodrigo Gasparini and Dante Vescio's teen-frightener is anything to go by. The style of filming is immediately sombre and disconcerting, and that gives a kind of canvas of unease on which to main and torture the cast of flawed but likeable young characters.
The farm in which Apolo (Pedro Carvalho) invites his three friends to stay has, as you may imagine, a dark history. Thus a bombardment of twists and turns is strewn forth, culminating in a race to stop the rebirth of an ancient evil. A lot of the details might be familiar from other such productions, but 'The Fostering' (otherwise known as 'The Devil Lives Here') is a great deal of grim fun. My score is 8 out of 10.
