See How They Run

The plot was like a weird fever dream, in the worst way, and made little sense. It tried to push too much in the same script. The lines of this film was so bad, especially from the lead's Grandma. I love B-Movies, but this was just terrible.

All the budget for this film was to get John Savage, and AnnaMaria Demara as actors. Who both put in a good effort. But the story was so cliché, and not only had nothing new to add to the horror genre, but it was an Evil Dead knock off.

But so cliché it was dull. There was a lot of nudity for the sake of nudity too. Which I don't mind nudity, but this film was clearly trying to use it to distract from how bad it was. Rather than actually have a story that made sense.

It could have been a good film, but the acting and effects were rubbish. The storyline had the potential to be good, but it failed. The effects were poor though I am amazed at how white the nightie managed to stay. No wonder they changed the name for the UK market.

But hear me out: first of all, the effect are simply laughable, bad, incredibly weak and cheap, even for an 80's movie! I know it sounds like a joke, but it's not, bear this in mind, the effects will be something to bring a smile instead of fascination or anything else. Secondly, the ending will look rather stupid, but it takes a little patience, cause there is more than meets the eye.

Now that I put down the bad parts, let me tell you why I would recommend it: it lacks jump scares, but it has that old school tension, it frightens you as you watch and see what happens, your eyes are stuck to the glass and your heart rate is growing, little by little. It made me feel like an 14 years old kid again, watching his first scary "in the woods" movie. So for this great touch, I graded it a 6, sure, some will say it's way too much, but for me it really did the trick. Got me wanting more, waiting patiently to see what happens next, even the ending was something I craved for. So I was there, from the beginning to its end, felt quite good too. It was like a blast in the past, and for that I am thankful to everyone involved in the making of "Demon Legacy".

Now that you know what to expect, it's up to you to decide if you'll take it for a watch or not, but I'm telling you, it's great for a late night movie, alone or with friends, with something to chew on and some drinks. It made my night!

Cheers!

I had never heard about this 2014 horror movie titled "Demon Legacy" prior to sitting down here in 2022 to watch it. And of course I had to watch it on the account of it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen.

Director Rand Vossler delivered something that felt a tad too much inspired by the classic "Evil Dead" movies. But hey, if you haven't already seen the original 1981 "Evil Dead" movie then you might actually find a shred of enjoyment and entertainment in "Demon Legacy". However, I have seen "Evil Dead" many times, so "Demon Legacy" wasn't really cutting it for me.

The storyline in the movie was pretty straight forward, although somewhat on the generic and boring side, if I have to be honest. And I actually started to drift off around an hour into the foray. So yeah, this movie wasn't really entertaining me.

Of the entire cast ensemble in "Demon Legacy", I was only familiar with John Savage, and he wasn't in the movie for all that long. And that was a shame, because he could have spruced up the movie, and trust me, that was necessary, and the movie would have benefitted from having John Savage more on the screen.

Visually then "Demon Legacy" was adequate. I mean, you're not in for anything grand here in terms of special effects or CGI, but whatever special effects were in the movie actually served their purpose well enough. But again, a watered down "Evil Dead" movie is what comes to mind here.

If you are a newcomer to the horror genre, then you might get some kind of entertainment out of this 2014 horror movie. But for a horror veteran such as myself, then "Demon Legacy" was a mere walk in the park.

My rating of "Demon Legacy" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

This movie was OK, but not good. The acting was OK, and the story line was descent. While I love sexy sorority girls in horror movies, the movie lacked coherence and a sense of direction and purpose. There were numerous occasions during the course of the movie where it failed miserably to connect the dots. I found myself having to try to connect the dots myself on a board where the dots were scattered like the stars at night. As the movie was drawing to a close, a characters unceremoniously showed up from left field. Trying to make sense where certain characters fit into to the movie as a whole was like trying to hammer a round peg into a rectangular hole. In the end, the movie seems to fall flat like a cake made with no eggs. I rendered it a 4 because an honest effort was made to turn this B horror into a -A horror movie.
