While acting under Fredianelli's direction in two films prior, this is the film where Koerner is really utilized and able to shine the most. Jeremy Koerner is a powerhouse as the evil cult leader Archie. While not every performance is top-notch, one of THE DEVIL IN WHITE's best assets is how well acted it is. Surprises are abound and it's a very gripping and suspense filled movie. You can't really be sure who the protagonist is at first and it makes for a thrilling ride. It's a bit like Hitchcock's PSYCHO in this regard. The film seemingly toys with the audience a bit as it doesn't really have a standard protagonist the way most stories do.

While the movie is a bit of a slow burn, it opens strong (great pre-title and title sequences) and remains constantly gripping until the end. It's not a perfect film sure, but it's a very technically sound movie and pretty believable in the effects, storytelling, and performances.
While the others were (for the most part) much more ambitious and dealing in genre and subject matter I tend to prefer, there was just something off about them and it seemed hard not to notice their faults. THE DEVIL IN WHITE also stands as what is probably the best post-SCARLET WORM (Michael Fredianelli's masterpiece) Fredianelli directed film so far. While that's not a new premise, THE DEVIL IN WHITE might be the best of that lot. So with that said, THE DEVIL IN WHITE is hugely refreshing in itself for feeling like something we just don't see much of in large volumes. There's an over-saturation of indie horror and too often we just see the same thing again and again.
