Demons

Nicely done classic horror with a intelligence and depth in matters of spirituality. The cast is a big plus and the cinematography is excellent. Not a huge fan of flashbacks but they were handled well.

It's not the first time when I see fake reviews appearing for a decent movie, probably because the movie didn't get enough attention, I don't know. Note to distributors or authors - you're just shooting yourself in the leg, especially when you have a solid material. Stop. Doing. That. People won't believe your movie is decent and you'll just bring the people who will rate it 1/10 not because of the movie, but because of the fake reviews.

Tagline is also somewhat misleading, it's not really your typical exorcist movie. The cover is somewhat amateurishly made, the movie itself is not like that at all. Why spending budget on making a good movie but not ever think about cover?

As for the movie, I'd say it's a solid mystery / psychological thriller, told through the two connected stories (present / past events). Also, the one about the past is either shot on film or has a grain filter added in post-production, in any case it's a great touch. It's intriguing and captivating, characters are nothing special, but are memorable and the actors do their job. I also like the acting and voice of Andrew Divoff, he's just as charismatic as he was in Hatred (2017) and he's also playing a religious fanatic here as well. By the end you'll learn why the movie is called "Demons" (how I said, it's not really your typical exorcist movie).

Worth a watch, maybe even two or three.

I'm not as overly enthusiastic as some other honest reviewers (the perfect tens with one review (we all know them) will never count as honest reviewers) that gave Demons a decent score. I found the story to be a bit of a mess, a bit boring, not fully exploited. The twist in the end was predictable, at least to me, it could have been more elebaroted to make it a better movie. The positive point would be the acting for me. There are some quality actors that make a movie watchable, but that doesn't mean the movie was good. To me it's just an average movie that I will probably have forgotten all about it by tomorrow.

...definitely NOT fake. DEFINITELY, ya hear? I mean... Hereditary whatnow? First Reformed? Pah, nonsense! Demons is where it's at, fam. /sarcasm

What minimal merit this holds isn't worth the calories you'll burn hitting "play". And just like in the case of a train wreck... Move along, now, nothing to see here.

This film is the worst type of movie, where it is both trash and overly pretentious at the same time. It's trying to tell a deep story in an original way, but everything is so obvious and heavy handed. Half the dialogue is delivered as of the direction *dramatic pause* was written in the script and breaking up a simple story doesn't make it any less simple.

The spirituality stuff comes across as tired and dated, but again as if the filmmaker thinks they are being really deep with it, maybe it was supposed to be ironic, I doubt it though.

Overall there is far too much bad to recommend this movie, and there is little good to redeem it, there is an attractive naked lady at one point, but they also talk about her nudity way longer than she is actually nude for, so many points in the film are belaboured, it's ridiculous! You'd probably be better off avoiding this one.
