Ahead of the film’s world premiere at Fantasia this summer, the next film from The Adams Family has received a release date this week.
Shudder will premiere Hell Hole on August 23, Rue Morgue first reported.
Fantasia previews, “A road trip through Canadian oil fields conjured up fantasies of secrets deep in the dirt for the Adams family, and inspired them to create Hell Hole, an indie rock-n-roll monster movie set at a far-away fracking site.
“Known for their DIY ethos, John and Lulu Adams and Toby Poser, partnering with Shudder, have joined the team behind The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs and FX legend Todd Masters to shoot their latest in Serbia with a local cast and crew.
“Absurd, mutinous, and transgressively comical, Hell Hole is old-school sci-fi horror, yet in typical family fashion, they subvert the genre with textures of biological and environmental horror in tandem with...

Yellow Veil Pictures is kicking off EFM sales on the Shudder Original Film Hell Hole, the latest feature from the Adams Family filmmakers behind Hellbender and Where The Devil Roams.
John Adams and Toby Poser co-directed, co-wrote with Lulu Adams, and star in the feature, which is in post after wrapping production in Serbia.
Hell Hole takes place in Serbia’s Rtanj mountain valley as an American-led fracking crew uncovers a living French soldier frozen in time from a Napoleonic campaign.
When a parasitic monster springs from the soldier’s body it wreaks havoc among the terrified crew looking for a new host to inhabit.

The talented Adams Family’s hit film “Hellbender” was ranked No. 1 on Rotten Tomatoes Top 10 of best-rated horror films of 2022. Their most recent film, “Where the Devil Roams,” was purchased by Tubi after premiering at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival on July 27th.
Alongside parents John and Toby Adams, sisters Zelda and Lulu are experiencing a meteoric rise in the horror genre. In addition to writing her first feature length screenplay, Lulu was recently spotted on set of the new Coleman Brothers movie, portraying the character “Eleanor.”
Like her inaugural screenplay (which recently wrapped production), not much has been publicly announced about the new Coleman Brothers movie.
So far, we know that it’s a vampire movie and that it’s written and directed by Vince and James Coleman. We also know that Lulu’s character “Eleanor” gets turned and becomes a bloodsucker. Not much else is known about the movie as of right now.

Ever since their breakout indie The Deeper You Dig lit up the festival circuit in 2019, the Adams family have proven something of a horror genre sideshow for travelling fans; a one-of-a-kind mother-father-daughter filmmaking team who write, direct and star together in what is quickly becoming an impressively unusual oeuvre. Slickly, cheaply made spins on old-school genre mainstays with a fascinatingly personal angle. And their depression-era road movie Where the Devil Roams is no different – a gorgeously minimalist, micro-budget marvel of a family-driven horror.
In fact, the Adams’ latest might actually be at its most impressive when it shuns its bigger crowds and more elaborate dressing, and just leans into its absolute essentials. That is, its core unit; an unusual family band, riding across rural America, on the coattails of a travelling horror show. The team themselves – father John, daughter Zelda, and mother Toby Poser – are a uniquely tight fit as...

Welcome to Give Me the Fear, a new Frightfest 2023 preview series hosted by screenwriter Stuart Wright.
These brief, spoiler-free interviews will – across the entire series – help you to discover the kind of knowledge and experience about how to make indie horror films that they don’t teach at film school.
After looking back at the blood, sweat and tears that went into their creative successes, I ask them one last question: If you could hand pick one person to be in the audience for your Frightfest screening, who would it be and why? I think you going to love the answers this question elicits.
This episode covers Where the Devil Roams, Pandemonium (feat. Quarxx) & The Sacrifice Game (feat. Jenn Wexler)

There is something about a carnival. Something mysterious. Maybe even a tad dangerous. In the midst of a humdrum existence, a carnival feels like one of the last places left where magic may still exist. It’s here one day, gone the next. A world unto itself that sets up in new places, inviting us into its arms for one or two nights at a time, before vanishing, taking its magic along with it. It is populated by people living their lives on the edge of society; just close enough for us to see and interact with when they choose, before closing the curtain and retreating to their own little world. Performers who thrill, challenge, and play with their audience before disappearing like ghosts, leaving us behind in the ordinary world.
That mysterious nature has been bottled on film a handful of times. Tod Browning’s Freaks, the HBO Carnivale series,...

The Adams Family have done it again! The filmmaking team, made up of father John Adams, mother Toby Poser and daughters Zelda and Lulu, have been writing, directing, producing and starring in their own independent productions for a little over a decade, and have crafted festival favorites including The Deeper You Dig and Hellbender. Last week, at the Fantasia Film Festival, they premiered their most ambitious project yet, Where the Devil Roams, a supernatural horror set in Depression-era America.
Hard times have fallen upon a small carnival. Attendance is at an all-time low, and there's not enough nickels to go around to feed the sideshow acts. Among them are the performing trio, Maggie (Toby Poser), Seven (John Adams) and Eve (Zelda Adams), who do a song and dance routine that hardly draws a crowd. Stealing their spectators is Mr. Tibbs, a magician who slices off his fingers one by one with rusty scissors,...

Where The Devil Roams Photo: Fantasia International Film Festival
The Adams Family – John Adams, Toby Poser and their children Zelda Adams and Lulu Adama – have been making films together for some years now. Screening as part of the Fantasia International Film Festival and also part of the line-up for this month’s Frightfest, their latest work, Where The Devil Roams, is their best yet. It follows a family of carnival performers: the troubled, psychopathic Maggie (Toby), shell shocked former army medic Seven (John) and singing sensation Eve (Zelda), who is mute offstage, as they travel across the US during the Great Depression, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
We spoke briefly about the film a couple of years ago, when they were promoting their last film, Hellbender, and when we meet again I say that I recall being told then that this one was Zelda’s idea.
Zelda nods.

Plot: Traces a family of murderous sideshow performers as it travels around the world on the dying carnival circuit.
Review: I feel it needs to be stated right off the bat that Where the Devil Roams will not be for everybody. From a production standpoint, it feels very amateur at points. The blown-out sky and awkward sound design certainly point to this being more student film than major feature. But even still, there’s a beauty to the cinematography, as well as the awkward performances. You’re either going to be turned off by it or along for the ride. I can’t imagine there being much “in-between” when it comes to such a polarizing style of film.
John Adams, Toby Poser, and Zelda Adams all serve as the writers, directors, and stars of Where the Devil Roams, and that fact alone should be commended. Not very often do you see a Trifecta in film,...

In addition to the Adams Family’s Where the Devil Roams, Tubi has also picked up the SXSW documentary Satan Wants You, both acquisitions announced by Variety this afternoon.
Satan Wants You will debut exclusively on Tubi this coming Winter.
The documentary from writers and directors Sean Horlor and Steve J. Adams explores the infamous “Satanic Panic” wave of the 1980s.
Satan Wants You tells the untold story of how the Satanic Panic of the 1980s was ignited by “Michelle Remembers,” a lurid memoir by psychiatrist Larry Pazder and his patient Michelle Smith. Supported by the Catholic Church, the bestselling book relied on recovered-memory therapy to uncover Michelle’s childhood abduction by baby-stealing Satanists.
Amplified by law enforcement and America’s Daytime TV boom, satanic rumors spread through panic-stricken communities across the world, leaving a wave of destruction and wrongful convictions in their wake. This film digs deep into the...

The Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal is more than halfway through its 27th edition, which is running from July 20th through August 9th – and over the weekend they unveiled their list of Fantasia Film Festival Awards winners, with major honors going to the likes of Red Rooms and Stay Online.
Our own reviewer Tyler Nichols gave Red Rooms a 9/10 “amazing” review (you can read it Here), so it makes sense to hear that the film racked up multiple awards, including Best Feature, Best Screenplay for Pascal Plante, Best Score for Dominique Plante, and Outstanding Performance for Juliette Gariépy. We haven’t had the chance to see Stay Online yet, but that movie did earn the Best First Feature award for director Yeva Strelnikova.

Pascal Plante’s Red Rooms (Les Chambres Rouges), a French-language thriller about a woman’s obsession with a high-profile serial killer case, took top honors as the Fantasia Film Festival handed out its juried Cheval Noir competition prizes this weekend.
After opening Fantasia’s 27th edition, the Canadian psychological drama earned Cheval Noirs for best feature, best screenplay for Pascal Plante and best score for Dominique Plante. Red Rooms also earned lead Juliette Gariépy an outstanding performance award.
Red Rooms had an international premiere at Fantasia after debuting at Karlovy Vary as part of the Crystal Global competition. The Fantasia jury at North America’s largest genre film festival, led by David Hewlett, also gave its best director prize to Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping for Femme, while the trophy for best cinematography went to Zelda Adams and John Adams for their work on Where the Devil Roams.

There was no escaping “Red Rooms” at Fantasia.
Awarded the Cheval Noir Award for best feature at the 27th edition of the fest, Pascal Plante’s film also took honors for screenplay and Dominique Plante’s haunting score, as well as an outstanding performance award for Juliette Gariépy.
“The ultimate effect a film can achieve is to implant a significant and lasting emotional memory. ‘Red Rooms’ masterfully accomplished that goal,” said jurors David Hewlett, Brenda Lieberman, Jourdain Searles, Virginie Sélavy and Gary Sherman.
“With incredible skill and artistry, without resorting to gore or violence, this film delivers not only an extremely disturbing and frightening experience but introduces you to characters and situations you may never forget.”
Produced by Nemesis Films, it takes on the trial of a man accused of murdering teenage girls and selling videos of his crimes online. But Plante wanted to focus on women who follow him.

The Adams Family are among the most exciting indie horror filmmakers working today. The prolific family of hands-on filmmakers – father John Adams, mother Tobey Poser, and daughter Zelda Adams – share writing, directing and acting credits on all of their films, including 2021’s Hellbender.
Where the Devil Roams is the family’s most ambitious film yet, replete with a large supporting cast and a Depression-era period setting. The sprawling nature of the story gives the film an epic scope, but it also chips away at the cohesive structure, as the film winds up feeling more like a series of vignettes that fail to build to a satisfying, cohesive whole.
Maggie (Poser) is an uneducated woman married to Seven (John Adams), a former war medic. She’s impulsive and prone to violence, while he faints at the sight of blood. The pair have a regular gig as carnival performers with their daughter...

The Fantasia International Film Festival is back for its 27th annual edition, running July 20 through August 9, and it’s bringing one of Hollywood’s biggest stars––in spirit now; he’s officially canceled so as to not cross the picket line of the current SAG-AFTRA strike––to Montreal with a world premiere and career recognition. Nicolas Cage, his new film Sympathy for the Devil, and his Cheval Noir Career Achievement Award aren’t the only draw for this three-week event, though.
