Pacing issues and an abundance of exposition dampen an otherwise solid attempt at a folk horror story.

Rated: 2.5/5

It’s clichéd as hell, but Demigod is an entertaining low budget shocker that’s worth a look.

A routine piece of seasonal work.

One Guy's Opinion

Wants to be suspenseful and scary, but it's so inept that it merely proves risible-though not sufficiently so as to become enjoyably campy.

Rated: F

This movie is not groundbreaking by any means, but if audiences are jonesing for an original and campy horror film that features pagan rituals and unnerving villains, then Demigod might just be the right pick.

"Demigod" exists on that all too fun plane of monster makeup vibrations, of lived in witchery worlds, and of survival of the fittest tales that make tape heads and VHS freaks weak in the knees.

Rated: 4/5

I stopped after 50 minutes. It was too poorly executed, and the acting was unconvincing from everyone. It could have been enjoyable if it had been intentionally made poorly though.

The three main witches are terrible actresses. Clean costumes; weak blood affects; this might as well have been a stage play. Skip this one

Not much depth to any of it, and the depth it did try to add didn't even make any sense.

When her grandfather dies, Robin (Rachel Nichols) and Leo Murphy (Yohance Myles) return to her birthplace in Germany's Black Forest to find a terrifying secret waiting for them. Yes, as always, you should never go back home ever again. Directed, co-written by and featuring acting by Miles Doleac (Hallowed Ground, The Dinner Party, The Historian), this movie also finds him bringing back Jeremy London from Mallrats to play Robin's grandfather in flashbacks, the kind of dude who makes kids eyeballs out of freshly killed deer. So before you know it, three witches and the demigod Cernunnos, Lord of the Hunt, are killing everyone and anyone as they hunt the different characters in pairs. There's an awesome reveal of the demigod which brought Demonoid to mind which is — in my world — a very good thing. I mean, this is the kind of movie that dares to start with three witches ripping a demon baby directly out of a woman's stomach. That takes some guts because how do you follow that? This is the best film I've seen Doleac create and it's a marked improvement over his previous movies. This really surprised me. It's a quality folk horror slasher hunt movie that has some name actors and a budget used to its fullest.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
