Demons Never Die

BEFORE YOU TO DECIDE TO JUST GIVE THIS FILM A MISS,its not no where near as bad as some of the other reviews make it out to be. in fact i enjoyed it quite a lot, it wasn't by any means a master piece of British cinema but it rolled along at a decent pace and kept the suspense going. i also found it to be more realistic than most American slasher flicks, where the killer seems to be able to get from one place to another faster than Usain Bolt, has super human strength and takes for ever to die. (if he ever does). OK a slasher is a slasher , but the fact that it was a British film with some of Britains best up and coming actors,it made a refreshing change, also keeps you guessing till near the end. definitely worth watching

it's essentially an unwise billet-doux to no-budget slasher flicks, bolted on to some "urban" vagary. first time director writer Arjun Rose was a city trader... and it shows. He demonstrates little in the way of ability with this debut. Directing a not unserviceable cast with all the panache of a go-compare ad,there's every possible cliché you could imagine, used badly,and the character arcs barely register above flat-line throughout the entire film.

there's enough bad cinema around with the likes of " fond of shiny things with no narrative" Michael bay and co, we don't need another.

but that's being harsh to bay, demons never die makes transformers 3 look like Kubrick.

Let me just start with, this film does not make sense at all. Firstly, if you have a bunch of kids who want to kill themselves, the tension is removed when someone starts to murder them. Secondly, there's no reason for the killer to be killing in the first place even though you're happy to watch these caricatures and racial stereotypes be picked off one by one. Aside from that the main problem with "Demons Never Dies" is that it feels cold and empty with a massive lack of fun that other slasher films are abundant in, especially scream which most of the death scenes, in this film, are taken from. I have given this film one star only because of the directors ability to point the camera in the right direction which was its only saving grace even though it might have been better if he had pointed toward another story line.

Had this one in my Halloween Season Marathon for i think 2 or 3 years and somehow could never get to it, but this year i finally did. I had rewatched the trailer in September and i felt it look very low budget and such and i was not wrong, but sometimes it does not mean bad. Sadly in this case ... it kinda was to an extent.

The general idea of a group of peoples wich at first appear to not have anything in common, from outcast to what look like the head cheerleader, somehow ending up planning a group suicide is pretty ridiculous. But lets say you roll with it...

There is a few characters that stand out more but the majority of them were kinda flat. The movie take its time a lot for a while, barely having any horror/kills but then suddenly it pick up and you feel its just going too fast and they kinda ran out of budget and had to wrap up.

Kills themselves are underwhelming. Just a regular knife and very little blood or special effects. I get that this was shot for roughly 1 million $, wich is not a lot, but for that i would had expect a bit more on the horror side.

The guessing game on who is the killer or why is the better side of the movie, one of the few actual things i enjoyed, but sadly without spoiling anything the payoff was very underwhelming.

Arch and Jas relation was the other thing i enjoyed and they were in my opinion the only interesting characters.

In term of cinematography the movie is dark, gritty, it feel very amateurish, but then again for the small budget i can let that aspect slide.

Overall tough its a very forgettable slasher. I will be generous with a 5 if only for the small budget. If this would had been made on a regular budget it would had been a 4.

I saw the trailer on youtube and thought WOW this looks right up my alley! Sorry to say that the trailer contained ALL the best bits. Although the story is good it is let down badly by the poor acting,I thought it would get to the scary part pretty quickly but you will have to sit through 58 minutes ' cringe worthy script before anything nasty happens.

I watch every horror movie that I can get my hands on. I have seen good and bad, but I have never seen a movie as annoying as this one.

It is not the least bit disturbing because the characters are such idiots you don't really care what happens to them. Its also not jumpy, scary or gory. A complete waste of time.

I really hope that countries outside of the UK are not put off by this boring film because English are very capable of making truly awesome horror films like Eden Lake to name one!
