Where the Devil Roams Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
January 4, 2025
My quick rating - 5.5/10. This flick carves out a unique niche in the indie horror space with its bizarre story and dark sense of humor. Following a family of murderous sideshow performers on the dying carnival circuit, the movie thrives on atmosphere and visual appeal but stumbles in storytelling. One of the features of this film that I noticed right away is its dedication to practical effects, which lend a raw, gritty edge to the grotesque world it builds. The visuals are undeniably captivating, creating a surreal, hallucinatory aesthetic that pairs well with the film’s twisted tone. Unfortunately, these hallucinatory sequences occasionally feel tedious, detracting from the narrative's momentum. When CGI is used, it falls short of the film’s overall quality, breaking the immersion created by its otherwise impressive visuals. The quirky characters, played by largely unrecognizable but committed actors, are a strong point. Each performer brings a distinct charm to their role, enhancing the eerie carnival atmosphere. The film’s dedication to its indie roots is commendable, as it represents a clear labor of love from the Adams family who clearly are passionate about horror filmmaking and no, that isn't an Addams Family joke. While the movie isn’t a slasher, it offers a subtler, more atmospheric brand of horror. The twisted ending leaves a lasting impression, though the bizarre narrative sometimes feels more like a loosely connected series of vignettes than a cohesive story. In the end, Where the Devil Roams stands out for its creativity and ambition, offering a step above your typical homemade horror flick. Its dark humor and unique vision make it worth a watch for fans of experimental indie horror, though its pacing and inconsistent effects work may deter others.
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.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The dark film pleasures us with numerous decapitations
Nashville Scene
Jason Shawhan
Nothing else quite had the look of this film, like a burnished object kept in sackcloth and secrets, and John Adams and Toby Poser both deliver haunting performances that stick with you.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
Where The Devil Roams is a beautiful and grotesque rock and roll anthem that slays.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The second you get impatient with this film, something hellish and frequently unexpected is unleashed. The Halloween season is behind us, but seek this one out like a fine after-dinner drink after gorging on mainstream horror for the last month.

Where the Devil Roams will have horror fans talking for years to come.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A shocking and bold, but tedious blend of horror, dark comedy and surrealism.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
The filmmaking collaborative known as The Adams Family...has become a real indie powerhouse in the art horror genre. This isn't just one of the best horror films of the year, but a true American original.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
Where the Devil Roams is the Adams family's biggest swing to date. But the payoff is grand, as a macabre exercise and a moving gut punch.
Mashable
Belen Edwards
Where the Devil Roams revels in its slow-burn storytelling, creeping along like decay in rotting flesh (of which there is no shortage in this film).
Dread Central
Josh Korngut
'Where the Devil Roams' is ghostly couture; a hand-made, blood-bloodstained jacket of carnage that's sewn together skilfully and with love.
Fort Worth Report
Joe Friar
Blends religion, war, carnival sideshows, and the Frankenstein mythos. Solid performances from the cast and a heavy dose of residual horror that sticks with you long after viewing continue to make The Adams Family heavyweights in the horror genre.

Nick Allen
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.
ComicBook.com
Spencer Perry
Fresh off their hit indie horror film Hellbender, The Adams Family filmmaking troupe are clearly aiming for something more unique. Where the Devil Roams is a step down, especially since it seems to be derivative to its own detriment.

Ricardo Gallegos
There's more than enough heart, gore, and badass songs to paint a twisted smile on your face.
Rue Morgue Magazine
Michael Gingold
It combines splatter, the exoticism of the carny setting and its inhabitants and the central brood's descent into darkness to cast a strange and unique spell.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
A beautifully crafted piece of period Gothic.

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
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.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
Where the Devil Roams oozes style and creativity. While it represents The Adams Family's darkest feature yet, it's also one of the most creative films of the year.
