Name the Demon

I want to start by expressing how impressed both my wife and I were at the presentation by the filmmakers at the premiere. From the barf bags to the holy water given to every person who watched the premiere of the movie, the filmmakers made sure to help every viewer feel like part of excitement and celebration of the movie release. The question and answer portion after the film was interesting and most everyone I saw there seemed to be very happy by the end. My thanks and props to everyone involved.

Now for the review of the movie itself... It was a pretty standard Found Footage Possession Film. One thing that stood out, was the exceptional acting by the actress who portrayed the young daughter. Wow! Great job! I really hope to see her in more movies in the future. I think she has a very promising career ahead of her, if she chooses to continue acting. I rated the movie 2 stars more than I felt it deserves based on the story and quality of the film, because of the acting of that actress. I suggest watching the movie. It was not as bad as most Found Footage Possession Films.

Is it perfect? No, but it's an Indie film. But you'll at least be entertained and I think you may even like it more than you might guess at first. The way it's told certainly isn't for everyone but I think it takes the right person who enjoys horror movies and has run out of mainstream options. It's that time of year to be watching these types of movies so enjoy it while you can because after October it'll be Christmas movies until January. I also think the directors have a unique flare for making something that isn't quite conventional and it may not be for everyone but is for the right type of fan.

I really enjoyed it, the enclosed claustrophobic atmosphere fit perfectly with this story. The practical effects were what stood out the most for me, so many big budget films overuse CGI and it makes it look too cosmetic. What this pulled off was what Sam Raimi did in Evil Dead, I believe that was definitely inspiration for this film, I can't spoil anything examples, but if you watch this film you'll know what I'm talking about.

I hope to see more from these filmmakers and the two actors Danny and Scotty, horror genre fits them perfectly as I know they're huge fans of it.

Check this film out and enjoy what will be a cult classic.

A disaster from start to finish. The acting was laughably bad, with the cast delivering their lines so poorly it seemed like they were struggling to stay in character. At times, the actors looked like they were holding back laughter, completely ruining any sense of fear or tension.

And what was with the random priest kiss? It was absurd and out of place and added nothing to the story and made the movie feel even more disjointed. The special effects were amateurish at best, and the plot made little sense from beginning to end.

There were also moments that destroyed the immersion, like when Anna, supposedly in the middle of a possession, casually adjusted her nightgown as if nothing was happening. Moments like these highlighted how rushed and sloppy the production was.

It felt like the filmmakers were sloppy or simply didn't care. Overall, *Name the Demon* is a poorly made film that's better left unwatched.

I'm not sure which is worse between the dialogue and the acting. I'd swear this was done by college students or even high schoolers. I will skip personal attacks but will state that the acting was atrocious.

What was the completely unnecessary part about trying to kiss the cameraman??

If there was anything at all scary in this flick I completely missed it. A complete Exorcist ripoff without character development.

How was it even stretched to 1.25 hours except for repeated lines about "you have to tell us about ...."
