Demons has spunk, the weightiness of the themes being explored startlingly complex. It's still pretty rough around the ages.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

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.

Film Threat

Demons has potential, but the fractured storytelling, plodding pace, and bad acting from half the cast thwart its ambitions.

Eye for Film

Demons is a great ride, ostensibly silly but with a lot more darkness underneath the surface.

"Demons" ultimately comes up short, but Doleac goes down swinging.

Demons is not about what Demons is about. A novel approach, just wish it had been a good movie too.

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.

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!

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.

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.
