#where the devil roams (2023)

[cipheramnesia]

If you've hung out with my blog for long enough, you know by now I'm always seeking out horror trash because there's gold in them there dumpsters. And if you haven't in that time watched any films from the family run indie production company Adams Family Films by now, I just don't know what to tell you. They're an amazing and weird family out in the Catskills and what they do is produce some of the most consistently interesting, emotionally rich, visually delicious horror movies in the genre. There's something profound and unhinged in the way they approach working within a low budget arena, and they're also a prime example of just what gets lost in high budget movies with major studio-imposed producer notes. These are films with a voice, for better and worse, raw edged and unexpurgated. So there's a new one that just dropped, Where The Devil Roams, and I don't know that anyone ever went back to watch The Deeper You Dig or Hellbender, but you should check them out.

There's not a whole lot I want to dig into precisely because I'm not sure what to articulate. Sure there's murder and grotesque bodies falling apart with rot, but it's with an intent, where a literal thread is tying one generation to the next and life has to be stolen away in little bits.

They're producing and acting and shooting and directing, and then on top of that they make their own music for their soundtracks and it absolutely goes hard? Everything on the screen is from them directly and it's good and solidly in the realm of the freaks. So, yeah. Watch.

Where the Devil Roams, 2023

[facelessoldgargoyle]

Where the Devil Roams (2023) was a great horror movie, and you should watch it!! I think it qualifies as a slasher, but its weird, dreamy moods set it apart from the rest of the genre. At the core of it is a fairy tale, about the devil falling in love with a woman. The final stanza is a refrain repeated through out the movie:

When the road is mean, blood will thicken

The devil’s pulse begins to quicken

While the body rots to dust and bones

There’s a tear in the heart where the devil roams

Also at the core of the movie are three odd people. Eve, a teenage girl who cannot speak, but can sing like an angel. Seven, her father, a washed up country doctor who faints at the sight of blood. Maggie, his lover, a woman who takes care of both of them, and does what needs doing, as she sees fit. They travel with a carnival, where Eve sings and Seven and Maggie perform a small dance behind her.

They are upstaged, always, by a man named Tibbs. He is called Mr. Tips for his act, which is to cut off his fingers with a sharp pair of scissors. One day Eve enters his tent after a show to find him reattaching his fingers with a sewing needle from the heart of Abbadon. He tells her he made a deal with the devil, and he knows not to bargain for too much: he only ever cuts off the tips.

As Eve, Maggie, and Seven travel, they leave a trail of bloody justice in their wake. They go to the homes of men who have bought up farms and evicted families. Eve blindfolds Seven, Maggie bashes their heads in, and Eve takes pictures of their bodies. One day, someone fights back and chops up Seven and Maggie, and Eve steals the heart of the devil in order to stitch them back together. The price they all pay for this enormous task is cruel, and leads to a macabre ending.

The chemistry between the main three cast members is fabulous—the actors are family in real life. The aesthetic of the movie is gorgeous. It’s set in snowy, dreary 1930s, and the magic looks both mundane and grotesque. It’s like an old fairy tale come to life.

There’s all sorts of fun, sinister details that fill out the movie, which I haven’t had time to mention. Eve is always doing surgery on dolls. Baby shoes keep appearing in the river. Clowns solemnly paint their faces in cakey makeup. It’s a great movie. 8/10!

Erik Huey Visits Coals Mines for New Album 'Appalachian Gothic'

Erik Huey, aka Cletus McCoy, co-founder of The Surreal McCoys, is releasing his debut solo album, Appalachian Gothic, on January 20, 2023 via Appalachian AF/CEN/The Orchard. While the McCoys were a cowpunk, outlaw country outfit known for their originals and creative mashups such "Whole Lotta Folsom," Huey dug closer to home for the songs and stories on his debut, mining his own history — he's descended from four generations of West Virginia coal miners — for the album. "Eric "Roscoe" Ambel (producer/guitarist) and I wrote "The Devil Is Here In These Hills" for what we thought might grow into 2-3 songs that could be used in a soundtrack — a future TV series based on historian James Greene’s incredible book about the West Virginia Coal Mine Wars called The Devil is Here in These Hills," Huey says. "As soon as Eric played the opening riff on his Dulcitar, it was like a doorway opened that revealed the entire album. "My father, grandfather and great grandfather (who came over from Ireland) were all coal miners in the Monongahela Valley and I wrote this song before I’d even finished that book," Huey says. "So many immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, Italy and Eastern Europe—along with African-Americans from The South—came to mine coal in Appalachia, and this song is an attempt to tell their story and the story of the generations that followed in their footsteps." On his first solo album, Huey takes a nostalgic deep dive into the Appalachia of his WV youth while wrestling with the contemporary realities of a hardscrabble region that’s been left behind in many ways. While Appalachian Gothic explores darker themes and raw subject matter such as the legacy of coal mining and the ravages of the opioid crisis on songs like “The Devil is Here in These Hills,” “Dear Dad," “The Appalachian Blues,” and “The Battle of Uniontown,” it also taps into a defiant streak of optimism on twangy upbeat rockers like “Winona” and the pro-union anthem “Yours in the Struggle.” Huey mines the Classic Country seam of the '60s and '70s on the rollicking “You Can’t Drink All Day” and the torchlit two-stepper “That’s What Jukeboxes Are For,” a duet with alt-country chanteuse Laura Cantrell, then roams into Spaghetti Western territory on the eerie “Death County.” He taps into his inner punk rocker on the swampy and lustful “Lucy”—songs he co-wrote with Ambel (the pair cowrote roughly half the songs on the LP). In a similar vein, Erik’s chugging cover of John Cooper Clarke’s “A Heart Disease Called Love” nods to The Ramones and is highlighted by the jump-blues baritone saxophone of Steve Berlin (Los Lobos). Appalachian Gothic was recorded at Cowboy Technical Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and produced by rock 'n' roots guitarist Ambel (Bottle Rockets, Jimbo Mathus, Yayhoos, Sarah Borges). Along with Eric Ambel on guitar, musicians include Jeremy Chatzky on bass and Kenny Soule on drums, with additional appearances by Keith Christopher (bass), Andy York (guitar), Neil Thomas (accordion), Cody Nilsen (pedal steel), and drummer Phil Cimino. Guests include Steve Berlin and Laura Cantrell. Coming of age during the early years of punk rock, Huey got into music via on-ramp of The Blasters, X, Jason & The Scorchers, The Beat Farmers, and Mojo Nixon, then wandered upstream along the Hillbilly Highway until he unearthed a couple of old cassettes by Johnny Cash and George Jones — artists he’d first heard as a kid riding along in the cab of his Uncle Jack’s 18-wheeler. Hearing these artists pulled him back to his musical roots. “This record is a love letter to Appalachia,” he says. “Like so many West Virginians, I had to eventually leave the place where I grew up. As the locals say, I had to ‘get out to get ahead,’ which created a lasting sense of exile. So this album is a homecoming of sorts. It’s a realization that although I spent my life tunneling out, those rugged hills kept calling me home.” Read the full article
