No Mires Al Demonio

It is actually total ok , but cant say more than ok Many times with horrormovies its like someone wrote a good story but they just couldnt make a simulare good movie with it - this time its the other way around - someone did a real bad story but they really worked so hard to make it good

Acting is good, production is good , effects are good ,, but the story is just simple and fast written , and its no charm or heart in it either, more like someone just do his work and dont care so much about it

Im not so tolerant with horrormovies, if its bad I shut it of , and mostly movies ends like that ,, but I enjoyed this actually , its not blow you of the chair, but its ok.

"Don't Look at the Demon" is a Malaysian film with an international cast, including Fiona Dourif, Jordan Belfi and Harris Dickinson, however they are wasted due to the film's director and how poorly their characters are written. The script is not original but the plot sounded striking and the trailer had merit, but the end result is a film that continually goes up and down until reaching an illogical and ridiculous ending. A couple of scenes are salvageable but nothing special. The cinematography is bad, the atmosphere is non-existent and the filming locations are not used by the production team. A bad production with the occasional successful scene but which fails miserably as a film.

After hearing of a new opportunity, a team of American paranormal researchers looking into a supposedly haunted house for their show's latest episode finds the house to be far more terrifying than they imagined and must face their personal demons to be able to rid the house once and for all.

There's quite a lot to like about the film. Among the better qualities on display is the fantastic supernatural atmosphere generated throughout here which provides for an engrossing overall setup. An initial encounter with a local medicine man performing a ritual on a tormented woman provides a great start to everything with the ritual generating a strong shock with its conclusion by allowing for an easy entrance into the supernatural world to follow that the explorers carry on throughout the rest of the film. The backstory of the couple's haunted house with the history of strange occurrences to the past residents, bizarre incidents to the clothing or paintings they own, or the recap of events that take place at the house provides a great false start with the explanations to their queries. The suddenness of it all exploding in their face and bringing about the genuine supernatural activity which ties nicely into the setup provided. This carries over into the stellar supernatural action in this one. Focusing on the typical kinds of sequences involving a deformed ghostly being appearing unexpectedly behind someone or strange noises blaring out of the shadows, this doesn't really bring much new to the table until things start becoming physical. With a harrowing attack on the homeowner where they're repeatedly bashed against walls or a later sequence where a team member is possessed and begins taunting the rest of the group in a haunting fashion. The final half, featuring all manner of possessions, occult rituals, revelations about the nature of the house's haunted history, and a series of brutal encounters to keep everything in check, all score incredibly well with a thrilling escalation of events. Everything comes together nicely with some requisite bloodshed and heroics to offer quite a thrilling resolution that ends on a high note providing quite a lot to like. There are some flaws that bring it down. Among the biggest issues here is the outright bizarre behavior of the team once they arrive at the house and start contacting spirits. The first attack occurs the first night they're there and her initial reaction is to leave without bothering them anymore despite their experience with the paranormal. Further encounters that result in a physical beating or possession amount to nothing for their personal safety, and instead are mostly forgotten about in favor of continuing the show. Since these point to a past trauma to overcome as the main point, the lack of urgency over the interactions present comes off far less impactfully with that lack of concern over what's going on. This is repeated several times in their confrontations which makes for an even bigger issue and can make this one feel less impressive. The cliched nature of the storyline and presentation here will also have to be dealt with as it plays by the book quite frequently but is overall not enough of a detriment as the other issues.

I just got back from seeing this movie and it really wasn't that bad at all. I've never seen any of the actors in any other movies so I wasn't expecting much, but all in all I wasn't angry walking out. The story was O. K. and the demon itself was a bit of a plus. If you've like movies like Insidious or other movies dealing with ghosts or demons then you won't be dissapointed. In my opinion the best performances were by the brother characters Ben and Wolf. If you've already seen Barbarian and Smile then this is a movie you may want to go see. All I can say that it has to be better than the movie Bros, which I didn't see.

A medium hopped up on benzos.... A new female crew member who happens to be a tramp... a producer who's sleeping with the medium... and a couple camera guys who probably punch refrigerators at college parties to see who can make the bigger dent in the fridge.... and a monk who can or can't save the day... now add a demon presence and safe to say... idk wtf I'm looking at anymore. Production was all over the place... I'm not sure the writers ever met each other for this movie. Seems like they were in different universes when they wrote this. Horror my ass don't waste your time and the lead actress annoyed me with the way she looked... comb your hair lady wtf.
