Watch: I Trapped the Devil
Steve (Scott Poythress) unexpectedly receives Christmas visitors: his brother Matt (A.J. Bowen) and sister-in-law Karen (Susan Burke). Initially, Steve wants them to leave. Known for his unstable mind, he reluctantly lets them in. They find a padlocked basement door with a crucifix. A man’s voice cries for help from inside. Steve insists it’s the devil in human form, trying to deceive them. Karen thinks Steve is delusional and wants to leave, fearing legal trouble. Matt, however, seeks to understand and aid his brother. The film, akin to “They Look Like People,” leaves you wondering: Is Steve’s claim true or just his illness talking?
