Demigod

Just a horrible movie. Avoid ! Better off watching something else worthwhile. Dime store masks that look ridiculous. Terrible acting. Why bother making this movie ?

Wrote this review 60 minutes into the movie. I couldn't make it through the whole thing.

This movie is not my preferred brand of horror, hence the low rating. It seems like Nordic Folk Horror based on the look and foreign language use in the film.

I found it boring and very slow. You finally get a glimpse of what's going on around 40 minutes into the film, and at this point I was pretty disappointed that it turned out to be a story that's been told a million times before and is in no way novel or scary.

The movie also has a few gory parts, which again is not my preferred kind of horror. It's just gross, not scary. There's also several scenes in the movie that would have been much more intense and creepy if it had been filmed at night instead of before dusk. Overall just felt kind of cheesy to me.

If you like movies about old folklore gods and movies that move super slowly, you may enjoy this film.

Well, if you have problems falling asleep, then I can warmly recommend you put on "Demigod" from writers Miles Doleac and Michael Donovan Horn. This was a snooze-fest of epic proportions.

The storyline told in "Demigod" was bland. So very, very bland. And mundane. Needless to say that the insanely slow pacing of the narrative didn't really do anything to help lift up the movie, as it spiraled further and further into the depths of being unable to return to anything worthwhile.

This 2021 horror movie was a swing and a miss. A massive swing and a miss from director Milea Doleac. And it absolutely fell short of delivering anything enjoyable or entertaining for me. And I have to admit that I gave up on this stinking heap of a movie 49 minutes into the ordeal. Then I just couldn't sit through another minute of torture. And I can honestly say that I am not returning to watch the rest of "Demigod", I just simply couldn't care less about this movie.

The acting performances in the movie were held back by an incredibly poor storyline and stale dialogue. A shame really, because the actors and actresses didn't really have a proper chance to showcase their talents in "Demigod".

For a horror movie then "Demigod" was just a dud.

My rating of this pointless horror movie lands on a one out of ten stars.

No pun intended - also no child of mine of course. Well you may ask yourself, where you may have heard that or if that plays any role in this movie ... probably better not to go down that road. Or back to the village you are from - wait that was advice for the main characters in this movie. Not that they would listen anyway ... but what horror movie character does? You wouldn't have a movie if they did.

The mixture between languages is not helping - and it is not about the subtitles .. it is about the acting ... well let's call them "abilities" some of the people here display. Do not hold it against the movie if you can.

Story is not really that .. exciting either. But if you have a soft spot for horror movies ... well you are getting some nice setup and cinematography ... plus some violence and blood effects that are not that bad ... you decide if that is enough for you.

Whenever a flick gets glowing reviews, the majority of which are posted in a single month (say...October in this case) I immediately suspect that a group associated with the flick had a pity-party to pump up the rating to an artificially high level. I'm absolutely sure that this is the case here since this snooze-fest would never rate more than a "1" by any objective viewer. There is more action in your average daytime soap opera (as well as better acting). If you're looking for entertainment worth your time (and you have high enough self-esteem to think your time is worth ANYTHING) avoid this travesty. Please.
