Apolo (Pedro Carvalho) has invited his best friends Jorge (Diego
Goullart), Ale (Mariana Cortines) and Magu (Clara Verdier) to his family's
farmhouse deep in the country, but doesn't tell them that he plans a
séance to free the spirit of a baby from its curse - which in itself
sounds like a noble thing, but there's more to that story than meets the
eye, as on this very day every nine months, a beeing called the Bee Baron
(Ivo Müller) comes to claim the baby unless descendants from the baby's
family prevent him - descendants like Tiao (Pedro Caetano) and Luciano
(Felipe Frazao), who are so shocked about what Apolo was planning to do
that they resort to violence in an effort to set a few wrongs right - but
violence of course isn't the answer when dealing with the supernatural,
especially since the Bee Baron is already quickly approaching, and Ale
seems to be possessed by some spirit or other to turn the tide - but in
which way and with which ulterior motives remains to be seen ... So
ok, The Devil Lives Here might not make a whole lot of sense,
especially after no more than one viewing it's almost impossible to
understand all the implications - depicted in casually interspersed
flashbacks - the curse might provide ... but frankly, trying to understand
the film in every possible detail is totally missing the point as it is a
very competently crafted piece of horror that features suspense scenes in
all the right places and manages to create a properly unsettling
atmosphere throughout using more than just shaky camerawork, plus the
ensemble cast manage to give depth to their characters for the audience to
properly feel with them. A really cool movie actually!
