Audience Member This movie is complete sh!t. Watching this movie was f***ing awkward. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Demon Wind is the best movie you can't believe you are watching. It's a real head slapper. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Gets really goofy by the end, a little too much, but you could have some fun with this low-rent Evil Dead knockoff if you're looking for some old, cheesy horror laughs. Some of the demons were actually pretty effective looking... Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member J'ai recherché ce film pendant 20 ans!... L'attente n'en valait pas la peine. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh, this was bad. Really, really bad. But at the same time, it's charmingly bad. The entire movie is shot in the middle of nowhere (want to save money? Shoot in the middle of nowhere!) and since they wanted a spooky-looking, dilapidated house, they shot the exteriors of a home that had only like two and a half walls and no ceiling. There were no rooms, as it was literally just walls. So they shot these exteriors, but then went on very cheap sets and shot interiors. It's baffling. I've never seen anything like it. And you would think that they were doing this as some attempt to be funny, like a Troma movie, but no. The movie takes itself 100% serious. The characters are forgettable, and the only reason they're even there is so they can get killed. Seriously, the main character asked a bunch of people to come with him to his grandparents burnt down home, but they don't do anything. He spends most of his time wandering alone. The special effects and makeup are the highlight of the movie, and likely where the shoestring budget went. The demons look like they have terrible acne and plates of spaghetti were just pied to their faces, but they have a unique look to them. When all the mayhem starts, it becomes like most zombie movies. They're trapped in a house, a bunch of the characters do dumb things that make no sense, and everyone dies (not really, but pretty much). There are a few "wtf?" moments that give this movie some added charm, like when a demon is killed and reverts back to being a baby and then turning into a dove. Strange and out of nowhere, but I like that kind of stuff in these bad movies. Makes them more memorable. The movie feels like it would have been perfect for MST3K or Rifftrax. It's ripe pickings to get riffed on. And because of that, I enjoyed the movie. It's bad... really bad. But sometimes those movies can be a lot of fun. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It always bugged me when critics use "it's a rip-off" to justify giving a movie a low score. if a movie is a rip-off don't take it out on the movie, take it out on the producer and scriptwriter. If you love The Evil Dead as much as me, seriously, what would you rather do, watch the same movie over and over or watch movies that are pretty much the same but also a little different? Would you rather watch Halloween 10 times in a row or 10 different but very cliched slashers? Demon Wind isn't a great movie but I do appreciate what they tried to do here. The only thing this did better than Evil Dead is after watching the whole trilogy the only character you'll remember is Bruce Campbell, but in Demon Wind I found all the characters memorable. It also has some very original and creepy scenes, such as the destroyed house that looks undamaged when you look through the front door. That freaked me out. I gave the movie 2 stars because it isn't good. My biggest complaint is they rely heavily on special effects which are cheap so the movie is sometimes comical and cartoonish. But I was determined to like this movie so I forgave all its flaws while watch it, like it was a true story and this is just how everything factually played out. Most people might not even give it 2 stars but I think it deserves at least that. If you can show the movie a little love and force yourself to get immersed in the story you might even give it 4 stars. I just wish there were more Evil Dead rip-offs out there. I guess where the plot is so basic it's difficult to think of new ways to tell the same story. And I have to mention the box art. Very cool. It's one of those 3-D pictures so when you move the box you see the demon jump through the window. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
