- Film blends supernatural horror with cartel action on the Texas border.
- Plot involves a possessed child, a cartel leader, and police intervention.

An intense action-thriller, "Hold the Devil," is set to captivate audiences with its unique blend of supernatural horror and gritty cartel action. Directed by Álex de la Iglesia, the film stars Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Police Officer Sara Myall and Oscar nominee Demián Bichir as security guard Henry Campos.
Their investigation at an abandoned show home on the Texas border uncovers a wounded mother and her son, Gio, who have fled across the Mexican border. The situation escalates dramatically with the arrival of cartel leader Marcus, who demands the boy. It becomes clear that Gio possesses a dark, supernatural power that Marcus desperately wants.
Trapped within the house as more gang members arrive, Myall and Campos face a critical choice: surrender the child or fight for their lives against the cartel and potentially the supernatural forces within Gio. The film promises "explosive fusion of haunted-house terror and home-invasion intensity."
