Spoiler Free Review: ‘Lord Of Misrule” Is A Haunting Must-See

From brilliant director William “Brent” Bell comes a new tale of terror, the horror film Lord of Misrule, written by Tom de Ville. Before I watched it, I was already very familiar with Bell’s work, and I know you are, too. He is behind films such as The Boy, Brahms: The Boy 2, Orphan: First Kill, and the creepy-as-hell possession film The Devil Inside. Needless to say, I’ve come to expect a certain level of quality from Bell. I can honestly say Lord of Misrule did not disappoint. In my opinion, and I do not say this lightly, it is the filmmaker’s best film to date. In Lord of Misrule, a Vicor, Rebecca, and her family have moved to a new town whose biggest celebration of the year is approaching. As the festival begins, the Vicor’s young daughter disappears, triggering Rebecca and her husband’s desperate search for the child, not knowing the horrible secrets the town hides. The casting is
