If you are a fan of creature horror and enjoyed films like ‘The Silence’ (2019), ‘A Quiet Place’ (2018), and ‘The Thing’ (2011), you are sure to enjoy ‘The Devil Below’, hitting theatres and arriving on Video on Demand starting March 5th. The film is directed by Bradley Parker and written by Stefan Jeworski and Eric Scherbarth. ‘The Devil Below’ tells the story of a group of researchers who stumble upon something terrifying while trying to investigate a fire that has been raging in a coal mine for decades.
Breakdown and what we can expect to see
The trailer starts in a foggy atmosphere while a father and son, walking with a large group of men, are attacked by something lurking in the mist. The spookiness of it comes from the fact that they get taken away by something sinister without anyone noticing despite being among so many people. It then cuts to many people who are seemingly trying to find out what happened in the mines forty years ago that started a fire so destructive that it continues today. Very soon, it is clear that it was not the fire but something else that wiped out so many persons. Although locals seem to tell them to go back, the researchers continue, and as soon as they stumble upon the first shred of evidence in the form of what sounds like a creature’s distorted sounds, one of them is pulled into the mines.

What does the creature look like?
The trailer ends with a look at the monster that barely lasts for half a second, but if paused and looked at, it is just as grotesque as anything one has ever seen before. With a huge and slimy body and wide-lipped mouth, it attempts to attack somebody, and we get to see the malformed insides of its mouth lined with jaws of hell. The film stars Adan Canto (‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’, 2014), Will Patton (‘Blood on Her Name,’ 2019), Jonathan Sadowski (‘Friday the 13th’, 2009), Nathan Phillips (‘Snakes on a Plane,’ 2006), Alicia Sanz (‘Shots Fired,’ 2017), William Mark McCullough (‘Swamp Thing,’ 2019), Chinaza Uche (‘The Blacklist,’ 2019) and Kevin Waye (‘I’m Dying Up Here,’ 2018).
