In the dregs of Depression Era America, a family of performers travels a cold, dying carnival circuit. Seven likes books; Maggie's fond of hammers; daughter Eve's obsessed with scissors. On a ratty stage, quiet Eve sings for their supper, but off-stage their bloody side act is booming. When the family's bond is severed by a violent comeuppance, Eve is there to pick up the pieces. After stealing magic from a sinister Devil-dealing carny, the family's gruesome act begins to shine. But Eve must continue to cut and sew, as the Devil guides them from below.

Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Where the Devil Roams may be the family's most complete movie, and its febrile and claustrophobic horrors will sneak into your nightmares. Rated: 3/5 Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Their collective filmmaking eye is still so compellingly intentional and full of riches ... the Adams are so gifted at filming bleak Americana, corpses, cloudy days, and rotting hands. Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org As Where the Devil Roams proves once again, through their collective artistry and shared passion, the Adams Family create uniquely authentic films that contain a sense of creativity and a love for movies that at its heart remains unwaveringly pure. Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Daily Dead a chilly family parable that feels like a folk-metal fusion of Nightmare Alley and Frankenstein. Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Amie Simon I Love Splatter A fascinating blend of horror, suspense, and poetic art. Also THAT ENDING is absolute fire. Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Where the Devil Roams is wider in scope and more ambitious than its predecessor, and it's combination of oneiric, impressionistic narrative with with the gnarliest of practical gore is irresistible. Rated: 5 Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

g j An aesthetically beautiful Southern Gothic nightmare with compelling characters and some refreshingly original ideas. While it is style heavy, there's definitely enough here to justify itself as a film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Graham M More of a video clip than a movie, this really is one big wank. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review B P Depression-Era Carnival Film Struggles With Its Narrative Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Matt I Setting aside the horrible special effects and comedic killing scenes, this movie was just plain bad in every other way as well. Don't even get me started with the soundtrack. Lost all trust in critics after seeing the 100% rating. Can't stop scratching my head. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Zoey C It's horrible! Do not watch it sucks ass! How in the world did you fools give it a 100%??? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Thom G The Adams family strikes again with an outstanding new entry in the horror genre! Where the Devil Roams is compelling, aesthetically distinct, profound, and creepily twisted. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
