Why it matters
Provides cultural commentary and consumer guidance on current entertainment releases.
July, not April, is the cruellest month, and what better way to send off this never-ending month than with a creature feature? The Devil’s Mouth , directed by Jeff Wadlow ( Kick-Ass 2 ), is a surprisingly tense little film filled with lovely jump scares and a glorious, grinning bull shark.
We are quickly introduced to the buffet table, sorry, the cast. There is the good girl Sara (Kathryn Newton), the controlling Max (Lana Condor), the jock with a terror of blood who calls his mum every day (awww), Greg (Gavin Casalegno), the dopey James (Nico Hiraga), off on one last big adventure before law school, and the pretty girl Adrienne (Tommi Rose).
