Though Andrew Hulme's sophomore effort The Devil Outside garnered mixed feelings from our contributor Simon who saw the film last year at Eiff, he did note that the psychological thriller is a "sombre British reflection on faith, insanity and questionable parenting techniques" with great performances and frankly, after seeing this trailer, I'm completely sold.

There’s been repeated talk in Brexit-era Britain — much of it grimly reactionary — of long-silenced, tradition-bound communities raising their voices against a so-called “liberal elite,” yet rarely has it centered on matters of faith: Secularism has long been accepted as the standard in a society less steered by Christian fervor than the United States. Yet if Andrew Hulme’s agitated, symbol-riddled drama “The Devil Outside” is to be believed, that’s not a state of affairs with which the Church’s most extreme followers are content: A dark streak of socio-political warning cuts through this solemn coming-of-age story, in which an ultra-sheltered adolescent boy begins to assert an religious identity separate from that of his obsessively Bible-bashing mother, though the film stops cautiously short of a more decisive reckoning.

Andrew Hulme's second feature is an intense psychological thriller with elements of horror, a film about faith and madness. It's a singularly strange piece, not entirely successful, but curiously thought-provoking and haunting nonetheless. For the first half I was riveted, but as the film progresses it struggles to find itself and often feels uncertain, becoming repetitive before ending on a frustratingly false note. There are so many interesting ideas here, and the performances and eerie cinematography all work well; it's an easy film to admire, but perhaps not to actually watch.
