REEL DEAL: Ramped-Up Scares And Shocks In Devil's Due

A few years ago, a quartet of filmmakers known as Radio Silence, comprised of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Chad Villella and Justin Martinez, helmed a segment of the horror anthology film V/H/S about four friends who show up for a Halloween house party, only to realize that not only are they in the wrong home, they have stumbled onto an exorcism.  The segment ends in a melee of brilliantly staged and horrific mayhem and inventive visual effects.The film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was acquired by Magnolia Pictures.               

The group’s 2010 short film Mountain Devil Prank Goes Horribly,went “viral” and led directly to the V/H/S assignment.  That in turn led to Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett getting the nod to direct their debut feature film, “Devil’s Due,” with Villella and Martinez serving as executive producers.

The quartet’s work on “Devil’s Due” showcases a series of ramped-up scares, shocks and an overall disquieting tone.  But, notes Gillett, they were also striving to make a thriller that “feels really emotionally connected and character driven from the start.  In “Devil’s Due,” after a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple finds themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy. While recording everything for posterity, the husband begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially write off to nerves, but, as the months pass, it becomes evident that the dark changes to her body and mind have a much more sinister origin.
