Lo

This movie was everything i didn't expect when reading the synopsis on netflix. I had went into it expecting a sort of pans labyrinth search for his girlfriend. Instead, I was completely in awe of the use of what i thought was stage acting on a stage itself. The story and plot is what kept me intrigued until the great twist. Great film, if i had to rate it i'd personally give it 8 out of 10. Even though it was a bit cheesy at parts Lo is still an achievement of biblical proportions. To take such a story and portray it in such a way was absolutely marvelous. and a great Film overall as well. I would recommend this to any movie fanatic. and i have many times..........

So I just happened to see this movie in the Netflix instant queue and thought I would give it a try due to the fact that the story sounded good....and guess what it was a very well written movie! I liked the fact that it was set up like a stage play. Even tho the hole movie takes place in one spot it still held my attention very well...Oh and the big plus for me was the actor Jeremiah Birkett who played Lo in this movie but also played Blue Bell the Troll in The 10th Kingdom which is my favorite movie and he is a great actor (Go him!!)...so I would strongly recommend this movie to someone that would like to see something different and completely original...even tho it was low budget and sometimes got a little ridiculous in some parts it made me think different about those smaller films out there that can be just as good or even better then the blockbusters! ^_^

i came across the demon lo by accident scrolling through netflix. i was intrigued by the number of high reviews it received by viewers so i took a chance. it was like nothing i anticipated, but i think i enjoyed it more for that reason.

if you are expecting a "D" level horror movie filled with blood, guts, and a predictable plot, you should probably watch something else unless you are willing to be pleasantly surprised.

"lo" was a department store film wrapped up in dime-store wrapping paper, but the contrast made it the perfect combination. though obviously low budget, betz makes this film powerful through dramatic makeup, great lighting (the room where the story takes place could be a bedroom or a warehouse), and clever comebacks.

however, there were parts of the movie even i struggled to get through. the bartender dance scene was painful. i felt embarrassed for the guy. the "fight scene" was almost too cheesy and the "drama faces" in the flashback scene curtains were over-the-top.

but, if you can put up with a little bit of cheese to taste the wine at the end, you'll be the better film fanatic for it. well done, betz. well done.

I have no idea what I just watched but I think I liked it.

This one surprised me. . .I call this a 'Profane Comedy' as a counterpoint to what we know as 'Divine Comedy'. I was expecting a low budget slapstick horror romp: Boyfriend loses Girl to a Demon and then summons a demon to get her back-- but the tagline is that "the Demon has Other Ideas" Then the movie started.

Then I saw that it was actually a PLAY. And I normally don't like Plays. But I didn't hit the BACK button and remove it from my Netflix Queue. Why? The acting wasn't stilted or boring, and the dialogue was pretty 'with it'.

Now the humor is there, but it's light humor. And the Humor is light because it covers a deeper dramatic question. Some of it was strained and reaching. Other parts were nicely comedic. And the reason the structure of the sets seems so. . .staged. . .is because the focus is NOT about the HORROR about dealings with Demons. It's a play about Dealing with Demons.

And the ending was, from a Guyz perspective. . .disturbingly touching.

Girlfriend Friendly movie-- and a Girlfriend Test. If she fails: Dump her.
