O Livro do Demônio

For most of the time I was watching this movie I was trying to figure out what I've seen the actress playing Wendy in before that she looked so familiar. And that about sums up how gripping this movie was for me.

The premise of this movie held so much potential but unfortunately no-one involved managed to bring any of that potential to the screen.

The most positive comment that I can make about this movie is that after spending 40+ years gathering dust in an archive somewhere, it should re-appear on the Public Domain and therefore be a perfect candidate for showing on 'The Schlocky Horror Picture Show', with Nigel updating viewers on the careers of everyone involved in the creation of this underwhelming production.

Meh. This isn't the worst horror movie you'll see but is entirely forgettable and skippable. If you find yourself on a rainy day with nothing to do... there's still a better option. But if you do decide to watch it there are at least a few decent moments of suspense and a couple of jumps.

If you've ever wondered what weird or even terrifying things the previous owners of a house might have gotten up to, this might be right up your alley.

I enjoyed the fast, plot-based storyline. All of the characters were given just enough time to introduce themselves to the audience before mysterious things began happening. The quick pace also helped to explain why the characters remained in a house that was possessed by such a dangerous entity. They simply didn't have the time to consider other options, especially once things really began to escalate.

One of the many reasons why I chose a perfect rating for this film had to do with how it handled the demon. It left no room for doubt about just how malicious this creature was or how much peril all of the characters were in while it still remained in our world. There were a few scenes I had to watch out of the corner of my eye because of how much they made me shudder. That's exactly what I love to see in the horror genre, and I only wish I could go into much more detail about it without giving away spoilers!

The ending couldn't have been better. Not only did it tie all of the loose strings left over from earlier scenes together nicely, it made me go back to some earlier scenes and think carefully about how they were shared with the audience. Yes, many of the twists and turns were tropes that most fans of this genre would expect to see, but they were combined in ways that made them feel fresh again. It takes a lot of hard work to pull something like that off, and I tip my cap to the cast and crew for doing so well with it.

For readers who are sensitive to blood or gore, there were a few scenes that included both of them. I liked the fact that most of the focus was placed on the demon itself, but the storyline did need those elements to thrive.

Know Fear was deliciously scary.

Ugh just some ramble, no background information and some random things. It does not make sense at all.

Camera is overworked and actors reaction does not reflect on the scene and dialogs. Like some 80's horror movie ones. The props are almost made by children.

Also the actions same low quality and the lighting.

Sound quality sometimes does not is pure enough some.

The only points are the quality of the screen.

This flick had some good n scary moments that seemed to only lack for some cash to throw at them. Great tension build and holding but there was rarely a pay-off that could live up to that build-up. The writing and acting, too, built something good n scary. This scary story is about a possession by the house demon. The new inhabitants of the haunted house find a leather clad spell-book. Drop a little blood on that sucker and sit back, relax, and enjoy the fireworks.
