This horror flick will leave as many reasons to like it as dislike it. But DEMONIC is worth checking out for yourself. A group of college age ghost hunters decide to explore an old "haunted" house to connect the flashbacks and dreams of a friend with history to the location. Their foray turns into a bloodbath left to be investigated by Detective Mark Lewis (Frank Grillo) and a psychologist Elizabeth Klein (Maria Bello), that happens to be his on-and-off again girl friend. For slasher fans there won't be enough blood. But the movie has a steady pace to sustain interest. Some characters seem a bit uninspired. Will Canon is credited as director and shares writing duty. Rounding out the cast: Cody Horn, Dustin Milligan, Megan Park, Alex Goode and Terence Rosemore.

I expected this movie to be a stereotypical jump scare movie, however I was pleasantly surprised with the character development and the twist at the end. Overall very entertaining

Ignore the convoluted plot and the history of the narrative, and you have just another haunted house movie where silly young kids who think they are the next big thing get killed off one by one by someone who may be possessed.But add the acting chops of Grillo and Bello, and it takes the film from the mundane into something that is a little bit better than it has the right to be.So to cut a mundane story short, someone believes that a certain house is calling them, so a rag tag team is assembled and plan to do a seance to awake the spirits in the house.There is an element of found footage meeting Rashomon, but that's where the similarities to that film end. We go back and forth to the footage that was filmed, and the interrogation between one of the characters and Bello's Psychologist.And that's it really, we have the obligatory jump scares, people walking around dark corridors looking scared, and an ending that tries to emulate The Usual Suspects.Grillo and Bello are fine making the most of a poor script, but you couldn't care less about the selfish kids who try to summon the spirits.It could have been something quite entertaining, as the story does have potential, but it's executed poorly.

Come on now. Personally I've struggled to find ANY found footage movie interesting but I do understand some like them & I admit i have reluctantly admitted to liking a couple of special additions to the genre (not the popular ones tho). But the whole thing is getting out of hand now. Just having a bunch of out of focus, badly lit, jerky video snippets of doors slamming, staircases, torch lights & screaming faces does not make for a great movie. It's time directors of horror flicks stopped cheating viewers with this cheap gimmick. I really wanted to like this movie but I gave up half way through. I already knew from the start that most of them got killed coz in addition to tedious found footage camera work we get even more tedious "earlier that day" footage after all the bodies are discovered at the beginning of the movie - so there goes the suspense/intrigue/anticipation. THe only mystery left is who did it and is the final person still alive but since you get no real sense of who they are or why you should care anyway you end up well.... not caring. So the movie has nothing about it that drew me in or made me want to spend any more time getting through to the end. It was a chore so I stopped watching. If this sounds like how you like to spend your time tho, by all means have at it.
