Slow burn horror/thrillers require some very specific tools to proceed. Especially when the title is an independent one with limited money and time at its disposal, it’s easier thought of than executed. In the case of this week’s new release I Trapped the Devil, as novel concept ends up ever so slightly underwhelming. Something like this probably needed some stronger acting to keep you invested as the tension builds. Admittedly, the ending is solid, but not quite solid enough to make up for 70 or so minutes that’s come before it. This is far from a bad work, though I can’t bring myself to give it a full on recommendation. The movie is a mix of horror and thriller, told with a vast amount of patience. Set during Christmas, this is a look at a family reunion of sorts gone very wrong. When Matt (Aj Bowen...

"There is something evil locked behind that door!"
I’ve got a trailer here for you to watch for a new Christmas-set horror movie called I Trapped The Devil. The story revolves around a man who descends into paranoia and madness after trapping what he believes to be the devil in his basement. Things end up taking a very dark, twisted turn when his estranged brother unexpectedly shows up for the holiday.
The movie actually looks like it could be pretty good and worth checking out. In the trailer, the movie is compared to The Twilight Zone. Here’s the synopsis:

You expect surprises under the tree around the holidays, but you don't expect the surprise of a man being held against his will in your brother's basement... because he thinks he's Satan. That's the hellish holiday scenario that Matt and his wife, Karen (Susan Burke), walk into in the new horror film I Trapped the Devil, and you can get an idea of what to expect in the official trailer from IFC Midnight.
Written and directed by Josh Lobo, I Trapped the Devil stars Aj Bowen, Jocelin Donahue, Scott Poythress, Susan Burke, Chris Sullivan, Rowan Russell, and Josh Marrott. IFC Midnight will release the film in theaters and VOD on April 26th.

"There is something evil locked behind that door!" IFC Midnight has debuted an official trailer for the indie horror thriller I Trapped the Devil, an intriguing horror mystery set during the Holidays. Here's what it's about: a man descends into paranoia after trapping what he believes to be the devil in his basement, but things take a dark turn when his family (his estranged brother) unexpectedly arrive for the holidays. Is it really Satan? What is truly going on here? "Either way, the stage is set for a true Christmas from hell." This crafty horror stars Aj Bowen, Jocelin Donahue, Scott Poythress, Susan Burke, Chris Sullivan, Rowan Russell, and Josh Marrott. This looks cool. Brad Miska of Bloody Disgusting makes a Twilight Zone reference in the quote (on the poster), which makes me even more intrigued. I need to check this out. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Josh Lobo's I Trapped the Devil,...
