There are worse reasons to see a movie than solid possessions and Fiona Dourif.

There are various elements from other movies we've already seen, scrambled without any tact or thought, that lead us to a completely predictable and anti-climactic ending. [Full review in Spanish]

Ultimately, Don’t Look at the Demon is content to be just another possession movie. The production is well done and the acting is serviceable. The big missed opportunity is not taking full advantage of the premise and setting.

"Don’t Look at the Demon" doesn't reinvent the subgenre, but it plays well to its strengths, aided by a stellar performance from Fiona Dourif. Packed with jump scares and standout effects, it's never dull and consistently creepy.

Rated: 3/5

Like an off-brand installment of The Conjuring series and I mean that as a sincere compliment.

Rated: 6/10

The ending made no sense. The story seemed to develop in one direction and go somewhere different without explanation. Lost potential.

This mess strings together bits and pieces from previous exorcism and 'lost footage' horror movies, throws in a cliche all-wise Buddhist monk and the cliche angst-lead-with-troubled-past, then presents them in a confused and inconsistent plot. The greatest tragedy is the solid acting talent and high production expense all wasted on horrible writing and poor storyline.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
