Don't Look at the Demon

This film had great potential. It was good but had some blank spots. They could have used more suspense. Harris Dickinson carries the whole movie. The movie wouldn't be worth anything without him. I am now a big fan of Dickinson. They could have used more medium psychic content. They could have used other psychics to help the storyline some. They could have done a better job with the actors in Malaysia. The ones from there got on my last nerve. This needed more back story and more suspense buildup and more use of psychics and more use of righteous over evil. Harry Dickinson is very sexy in this. He is going to be a huge star in america.

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.

"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.

My hat's off to Brando Lee and team! Fiona Dourif is one of my new heroes! I secretly hope for at least one sequel with Fiona's character (Jules), as a troubled medium who travels around Asia helping folks with paranormal problems with the aid of local Buddhist monks!

Well, it could happen!

This movie had everything I deem necessary for its genre. I daresay even a bit on the brutal side for my taste, but it comes with the territory when you're a horror movie buff.

Covering Jules' past, present, and future, Lee took this story a lot of places, with a successful degree of unpredictability. What would otherwise have been a fairly simple plot, a number of complexities arise, which was very satisfying to watch.

As a practicing Buddhist, I enjoy watching what directors do with the storyline when injecting Buddhist elements, even if they aren't necessarily true to life. This turned out to be an important dimension to the film.

Great acting skill from the three female cast members in particular.

Really fun movie!

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.
