It’s already November, but it’s safe to say this hasn’t been the most fruitful year for horror. Compared to the onslaught of great horror films last year, 2023 is struggling to keep up. Thankfully, the latest film from Adams Family is here to grace our top 10 lists alongside “When Evil Lurks” and “Thanksgiving” (oh, you know you loved it). Hot off the heels of last year’s “Hellbender,” “Where the Devil Roams” is about a family of murderous carnies who encounter a demonic force during The Great Depression.

The filmmaking collective is known for making independent films on and around their property in upstate New York. John Adams, his wife Toby Poser, and their daughters Zelda and Lulu Adams have been writing, directing, producing, and acting in their own films for years, and I’m probably missing a few jobs. They do just about all of it. Their latest film from Yellow Veil Pictures, “Where the Devil Roams,” is their most ambitious project yet. Under the banner of their production company Wonder Wheel Productions, they've crafted a dark fable about a family of carnies who murder wealthy people during one winter of The Great Depression. If that sounds like a Rob Zombie movie, well, he wishes. Sorry, Rob.
