Demonic [DVD]

I'm not one to write negative reviews because I know the work that people put into independent/B-grade horror flicks. Some are good and some are bad. This movie is one of the latter. Luckily this movie is available to stream for free on Prime. If it wasn't, I'd be begging for my money back! I am, however, wishing I had my time back! I figured this would be a decent flick (after all, Tom Savini is in it), but I was definitely wrong. The one redeeming quality of Demonic is the special effects. I love gore and this movie offers that. Other than that...nada! There is about as much nudity as there is dialogue, the music is repetitive/grating, the acting is lackluster, the plot is lazy, the pace is VERY slow, and it looks like it was filmed on a HandyCam. Once again, I hate to write negative reviews. Usually I'll just give it a bad rating and nothing more, but hopefully this review will save some people their time and money. PASS!!!

Demonic may look very much like a lot of the bargain basement horror stuff littering video shelves, but that's because it is. And for much of the first half of this flick there's no difference between this and every other piece of schlock. The movie starts out (as they all do) with 5 teens who are crossing the deep woods in the crappiest vehicle they can find. Naturally it breaks down and our clueless lot split up and begin to search for help. Much of their time (and ours) is spent wandering aimlessly shouting "Hello!" and "Who's there?" a lot. Then a couple of them stumble upon an abandoned house yet go inside anyway to find a phone. Now mind you they find one but despite the fact that it obviously doesn't work they try to use it anyway! But they are attacked and knocked out by the lone occupant (Tom Savini). At about this point the movie does something unexpected. It starts getting good. It turns out that Savini's character is held prisoner inside the place by six demonic, beautiful, and very naked babes! Apparently they love to make out with their victims before they devour them (men and women alike). When they begin attacking the seperated group, they (quite literally) turn them into lower lip sandwiches! When the main couple free themselves of Savini's grasp they have to contend with the demons in their escape attempt. These scenes are the best in the movie for they actually have some semblance of suspense. The makeup design for these creatures is pretty good and so is a scene where a guy gets disemboweled. And of course it certainly helps that our deadly lasses don't wear a stitch throughout the entire thing. The movie ends how most certainly end but for a while Demonic is absolutely angelic.

The movie starts out by quoting the book of Enoch that references the story of angels that came down and slept with human females and then were tossed out of heaven. This led me to believe that the angels in the woods were actually the Nephilim, the deformed by-product of an angel and a human female's union, but the movie never made it clear. The movie does refer to the naked women in the woods as angels, which doesn't make much sense to me going by the reference at the beginning. However, that aside, the movie does have some good ideas and does produce a fair amount of tension. The relationship between the brother and the arrogant sister was very interesting to me. This movie tries to be a true horror film, meaning that it doesn't try to incorporate humor in it at all. There are some moments that don't work for me, but overall, I'm glad I picked it up. It was great to see Tom Savini, who I think overacted some, but not to any degree that detracted from the movie for me. Give this a try, it's pretty good.

This is a pretty good terror film. It's pretty straight forward, no humor at all. My only complaints was there really wasn't enough character developement, or explanation as to what the creatures were or what their purpose was, and Tom Savini's acting.Other than that, this is one of the better terror films out there. It's easy to understand the story, don't get me wrong, I just would have liked the story and characters fleshed out, so to speak, more.

I wish I could give this negative stars. The is the most horrible, unwatchable film that has ever abraded my eyes. The acting is.. just... dear god there are no words to describe how terrible, boring, and stupid this movie was.... truly. Truly. Dreadful. Awful. Don't do it. Just don't.

GO BACK IN TIME AND THINK OF ALL THE HORROR MOVIES YOU MISSED THAT YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE IF YOU MISSED THEM LIKE ME THEN YOU'LL WANT TO PICK THIS ONE UP GREAT OUT OF PRINT HORROR FLICK !!!!!

This is a terrible movie. I got it because I am a Tom Savini fan, and his performance was fine. The rest of the movie was poorly paced, written, and went nowhere!If you are looking for naked chicks with bad teeth rolling around on the ground and biting guys - have at it!

It is not a bad movie, not good either

Malheureusement uniquement en audio Anglais,sans aucun sous titre! Mais tout est dans l'action dans ce film!En fait j'ésperai un sous titrage français.On ne sait jamais avec les dvd's anglais ...quant il n'y a rien de marqué..il y a un sous titre.Et lorsqu'il est noté soustitre,ou,doublé en français..TINTIN,rien du tout.Alors lorsque la pochette d'un dvd me parle! je tente le coup.Et pour ce film qui est excellent .d'ailleur je ne sais pas pourquoi il n'a pas été édité en francais!? C'est l'histoire d'une bande de potes.Des garçons,et des filles.L'un des gus s'est payé un vieux " VAN" vraiment vieux,pot d'échappement qui fait du raffe!Et carrosserie toute peiturluré à la main..voyez le genre!.Pour feter celà tous partent camper en foret.Ils arrivent dans cette foret,loin de tout,et le chauffeur s'assoupissant,renverse une jeune fille.Le van ne veut plus démarer,ils partent en éxploration chercher de l'aide.Ils vont finir par tomber sur des vampires/vampes/des filles nues ,aux dents ascérées,qui vous attirent puis vous mordent,quoi!Pour les fans du genre qui se débrouillent un peu en anglais,je conseille.De plus en supplements le casting des vampires,pardon...des filles!

A little different horror movie but if your a Tom Savini fan, it’s a must have, some of his titles are hard to find.
