Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle 11/02/2016
If you're looking for a slasher/vigilante mash-up ... Gabriel Carrer forges a powerful fusion in The Demolisher, a horror/crime melding that is both visceral and cerebral. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 02/16/2016
One doesn't normally think of Toronto as having particularly mean streets, but they certainly look menacing in Gabriel Carrer's hyper-stylized take on the vigilante thriller. Go to Full Review
Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 04/16/2020
The scenes with dialogue, more interactions between the characters, have many issues, one of which being that the dialogue feels forced at times. This may be due to writing, directing, a lack of chemistry between the actors, or a mix of these... Go to Full Review
Rob Hunter Film School Rejects 02/16/2016
There is violence in The Demolisher, but the focus is more on its lingering effects than on its gratuitous display. Instead, the film's most affecting and powerful moments are those more concerned with the pain that comes in the silences after. Go to Full Review

Muddled storytelling is just one of the reasons this generally undercooked vigilante flick ends up flat. Go to Full Review

06/30/2017 Muddled storytelling is the primary reason why this generally undercooked vigilante flick ends up a bit flat. See more 11/23/2016 50% awesome, 50% boring, amateurish, badly edited shit. Great soundtrack though. See more 10/21/2016 The Demolisher was a visually striking film. I found that there were way too many fade out transitions however, like every 6-7 minutes I felt, it was just too much and didn't look nice. I did enjoy the cinematography and the synth music, which gave it that Carpenter-esque feel. See more 03/10/2016 wierd, messy and hard to understand any meaning in it.. See more 02/22/2016 Contains one of the most ludicrous 'chase' scenes ever! See more 02/18/2016 Style over substance. See more Read all reviews
