"Cold Sweat" Director Talks "Here Comes the Devil"
A co-production of MPI and Mexico City’s Salto de Fe Films, HERE COMES THE DEVIL is a change of pace from Bogliano’s previous films like COLD SWEAT and PENUMBRA, which take place within apartment buildings. “I love making films set in very close spaces,” the director tells us, “but I decided to make something with a lot more locations, and try something else. HERE COMES THE DEVIL is about a family who travel to the outskirts of Tijuana, and the two sons, who are about 12 years old, go to a hill by themselves, and disappear. When their parents find them the day after, the children are acting strange, and the parents try to figure out what happened to them while they were missing.”
Bogliano says that while HERE COMES THE DEVIL may not be quite as violent as COLD SWEAT, “it’s going to be more disturbing. I don’t know if it’s going to have more blood, but it will be a lot more shocking, because of the subjects it’s going to deal with. It’s a very dark film, and there’s not going to be any humor; it’s going to be more like a homage to the films of Nicolas Roeg from the ’70s. Another reference is PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK by Peter Weir, which is a film that I love, and has this kind of shocking element, even though it’s not violent or bloody.”
