Leslie Felperin Guardian A more than competent, fugue-like manipulation that freshens familiar components with a tricky structure. Rated: 3/5 Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Anton Bitel Little White Lies So while Demonic expertly delivers all the bumps in the night that fans of this genre love, it is also haunted by its own paradoxical narratology, engendering something slyly manipulative and deeply irrational Aug 20, 2015 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine There are a few decent ideas that are fairly well executed, but there is also a lot that is overly familiar, and stereotypical to the point of feeling moribund. Rated: 4/10 Apr 2, 2024 Full Review John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) Doing so much that's been done before, with little room left for anything truly original, Demonic is ultimately a flat experience. Jan 1, 2016 Full Review Charlie Oughton Starburst The Will Cannon-directed movie is a whodunit come haunted house caper come satanic stormer and despite these being familiar themes, the actors and editing ensure that it's a scream. Rated: 8/10 Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Katherine McLaughlin The List Despite the screenplay's crafty curve-balls there's still a distinct sense of dj vu as each thread is drawn together, while an unconvincing police slip-up is inserted to help drag the story out. Rated: 2/5 Aug 30, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

David L A group of ghost hunters go to a haunted house where ritualistic murders previously occurred only to awaken an evil entity. I think critics and audiences always demand that a horror movie bring something new to the genre, and while that is a plus, it’s not always necessary. This film is a perfect example. Yeah, it’s got a lot of the stereotypical characters and plot but it is really well done, directed and acted, making it a thoroughly enjoyable watch. If you’re a horror fan give it a go. You can certainly do much, much, worse. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review Harish N "Demonic" (2015) is a horror film that unfortunately struggles to deliver on its premise, resulting in a poor and largely unengaging viewing experience. The movie spends a significant amount of time without any meaningful improvements, leaving the audience feeling like the first hour was a waste of time. The film's narrative is its primary weakness. The plot feels disjointed and fails to build a compelling sense of suspense or dread. What little story there is unfolds at a sluggish pace, and the attempts at creating a frightening atmosphere are largely ineffective. The horror elements are uninspired and fail to generate genuine scares. The characters are underdeveloped and uninteresting, making it difficult to form any connection with their struggles or fate. Their motivations are often unclear, and the dialogue feels generic and forgettable. This lack of emotional depth contributes significantly to the film's inability to engage the viewer. While "Demonic" may have had some potential on paper, its poor execution, weak plot, and lack of a compelling hook prevent it from being a worthwhile horror film. It's a cinematic experience that leaves you feeling more bored than scared. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Sarah C I don't totally understand all the hate. I personally enjoyed it. It felt different from all the rest of the paranormal movies. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Tomas H Is it possible to give 0 stars? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Rayan N This movie was scary and exciting at the beginning, but the ending was boring, predictable, and ordinary... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Audience Member Let’s put it this way, after watching the first 15 minutes of the film, a squirrel outside the window caught my attention. That cute little guy sure knew how to outsmart that bird-feeder. Movie? What movie? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
