Name the Demon

The trailer is deceiving. Minutes in, you're completely distracted by the horrendous acting. The actors seem like they were randomly pulled off the street and told to recite lines. Nothing feels authentic, the lines are choppy, and the delivery is egregious. Save yourself the 1 hour +, and choose a different movie. I spent the $5 rental, and felt the need to write this review to save someone money.

If you're a horror movie buff like me, or even just someone who enjoys watching movies, you'll be more disappointed in this film than dropping your brand new delicious ice cream cone on the ground moments after buying it.

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.

True horror fans will enjoy this unique possession movie! Great special effects for a lower budget films and great performances from the actors! A few plot holes, but what horror movie doesn't have them!?

Jessi Nerud, Danny Bohnen, Scotty Bohnen, & Scott Moore gave great performances. If you like this movie this director and cast did another good horror movie called Sin Eater, which has a really cool premise and back story as well.

Found footage films often miss the mark but this one did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and watch this low budget, horror found footage film it is definitely worth the short run time!

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 ...."

Advice to viewers: pass on this one.

Advice to filmmakers: Please just stick to podcasting.

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.
