*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*A bunch of teens head to an abandoned hospital to work off their community service. They're going to scrub the place clean for the community. Bad luck strikes the troubled teens as demons happen to be infesting this particular hospital. Somebody call the slayer. "Demon Slayer" is fairly lame. Once again, the video box cover sings me sweet love songs only to have the movie break my heart. Maybe my standards are too high. What the heck am I saying? My standards are on the floor! No, no. This slayer is lame. There is some nudity so I can't totally condemn this one. There is a little bit of demon action at the end but not nearly enough. "Demon Slayer" relies on the actors to bring the drama. Bad call. They weren't bad actors but Lord they weren't good. There should have been more demons and less drama. That would have made my night.

A group of wayward teens are sentenced to clean up an abandoned insane asylum and along the way encounter evil spirits, gruesome murders and demonic possession. All the makings for a popcorn horror film.A bit corny but the one true highlight of this otherwise forgettable film is Hannah Lee who plays "Claudia." She commands the screen and gets the most mileage out of her character. Hopefully, this will be a good springboard for better opportunities because it would be a shame to see her waste her talents in these types of roles. I hope to see more of her work in the near future.

View MoreFor what it is, (a 'B' movie, distributed by the infamous Roger Corman) "Demon Slayer," was actually really good.seriously, if you can get passed the template of cheesiness, and "read between the lines," so to speak, you can find a story, with actual levels of character development. in other words, it seemed like the director did the best he could with what he was given. and the acting was surprisingly great. especially the lead male roles. nice stuff!and i have to say, especially when compared to other Corman movies, the sound design was deeply immersing, and correct me if i'm wrong, but i think it was actually in 5.1... very good stuff, it made it feel bigger than it is!!!!
... View MoreFor a movie of this type, filmed with the budget allowed, I found this movie to be very entertaining with a good story line and very good acting. It kept your interest throughout with enough comedy to keep your interest and enough intrigue to keep you wondering what would happen next. Congratulations to the cast and crew.
