Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Demons has spunk, the weightiness of the themes being explored startlingly complex. It's still pretty rough around the ages. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 16, 2017 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The ambitious auteur is getting better at making his novelistic ideas punchy and cinematic, but "Demons" is still a B-movie that takes itself too seriously. Oct 5, 2017 Full Review Patrick King Cultured Vultures I can get behind movies of any quality that are made with passion, but I just whiff too much cynicism here to really give the filmmakers a lot of credit. Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Demons has potential, but the fractured storytelling, plodding pace, and bad acting from half the cast thwart its ambitions. Rated: C- Feb 8, 2018 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Demons is a great ride, ostensibly silly but with a lot more darkness underneath the surface. Rated: 3/5 Nov 8, 2017 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com "Demons" ultimately comes up short, but Doleac goes down swinging. Rated: C Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Demons is not about what Demons is about. A novel approach, just wish it had been a good movie too. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Gripping Suspense Horror Movie!! Hold onto your seat and heart because this one will freak you out! The hot actors and beautiful locations kept me intrigued as to what would happen next, the entire move. Miles Doleac and Lindsay Williams DO IT AGAIN!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/17 Full Review Audience Member This is a fantastic Indie film. It's a great mix of the exorcism horror genre and a character drama. It's not your typical horror movie with nothing but jump scares, so if your looking for a fun cheap thrill, this probably isn't the movie for you. If you want to dig deep into the character's psychology, however, then this is perfect. There's a real focus on the characters' lives and development, and the film does a great job of making you consider the reality of demons. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Demons is a gripping and unique film that delves into the realm of well-intentioned religious fervor taken too far, inner demons that manifest themselves in horrific ways, and how these things affect the lives of a disillusioned priest and his family. Using a brilliant format of flashbacks that tantalizingly unfolds the history responsible for current supernatural happenings, Demons manages to weave enough humor and poignancy into what is otherwise a dark and psychologically deep thriller that it never loses the attention of the audience for a minute! Billed as a horror flick, Demons delivers so much more than any slasher film as it really develops the characters and I found myself terrified - not of the "Demons" that Father Hampstead attempts to exorcise, but of those demons present to some extent in all of us - regret, disillusionment, missed potential, misplaced trust, and those demons we fight because of circumstances in our past. Lindsay Anne Williams and Kristina Emerson deliver particularly powerful performances and it's truly refreshing to see a male screenwriter spending much time and thought on his female leads, particularly in a genre where females tend all-to-often to be helpless or simpering victims. With a gorgeous soundtrack, remarkable cinematography particularly for an independent project, truly brilliant casting, and a surprising and thought-provoking post-script plot twist, Demons is DEFINITELY worth seeing several times, as I have found new layers of insight each time I have experienced it. Don't miss this "horror" film that is truly unique in the genre! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Demons was such a twisted story that always kept me on the edge of my seat. The setting as BEAUTIFUL, but given the true horror I was not wishing I was with them. I love how the the movie not only shows the bond between sisters, but dealing with a tramatic loss as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this movie tonight at its grand opening. Had the perfect mix of startle, spooky, tortured, clever humor and disturbed. Thoroughly enjoyed the work of this director and the cast was magnificent. I am a huge fan of horror and this film delivered nicely. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
