The Devil’s Well (2018) is a found-footage supernatural horror film written and directed by Kurtis Spieler. The film taps into the concept of paranormal investigations, haunted locations, and demonic possession, combining the found-footage style with a documentary-like structure.

The plot centers on a woman named Karla Marks, who mysteriously disappears while exploring a supposedly haunted location known as “The Devil’s Well,” a site famous for paranormal activity. Karla and her husband, Lucas, were part of a paranormal investigation team that sought to document supernatural phenomena. However, during one of their investigations, Karla vanishes without a trace, leaving Lucas devastated and under suspicion for her disappearance.

A year later, a new investigative team decides to revisit the site to uncover the truth behind Karla’s disappearance. They hope to capture evidence of the supernatural activity linked to “The Devil’s Well,” and to determine whether Karla’s disappearance was the result of paranormal forces or something more sinister. As the investigation progresses, the team begins to experience terrifying and inexplicable events, and they soon find themselves in over their heads, confronting a malevolent force far more dangerous than they anticipated.

The Devil’s Well employs classic found-footage techniques like shaky camera work, night-vision shots, and documentary-style interviews to create an atmosphere of realism and tension. The film focuses on the buildup of dread as the investigators delve deeper into the mystery, culminating in a series of frightening encounters.

While the film received mixed reviews, with some viewers appreciating the slow-burn suspense and others finding it predictable or lacking in originality, it is a solid pick for fans of found-footage horror, particularly those who enjoy films centered on ghost hunting and demonic hauntings.
