Demise

I love a good date night movie with lies, deceit and lots of twists and turns. If you do too you will love this movie. This is the directorial debut for Yara Estrada Lowe and she does a terrific job. She captures the genre perfectly and gives us a spicy dramatic tale. She also wrote this movie which is all the more impressive. It moves along at a nice pace and has just the right amount of suspense and twists. The cast is great lead by Carlo Mendez who gives a great performance. Without giving anything away he really had me wondering if his character was a nice guy who was confused or just a womanizing jerk. Liz Fenning and Crystal Hernandez are also very strong as the female leads. I recommend this movie and can't wait to see what Yara does next.

Demise is a movie that makes you uncomfortable in a good way. I found it compelling, shocking and a well oiled emotional train wreck you can't look away from. I found the acting fantastic, especially that of Liz Fenning, the actress who played Celine. I was invested in the story from beginning till end and found this not so typical complicated love story to be sexy, edgy and realistic. Demise is not your average cookie cutter romantic thriller and that's what sets it apart and makes it good. I thought direction was great, the cast, music. All of which bundled together in superb editing makes "Demise" a psychological rollercoaster that is unforgettable.

Great film! Sexy, hilarious, twisted, and jaw dropping. I loved how the characters were believable, realistic, and even relatable Angelenos vs. Botoxed-out and expressionless. More of the European style in that regard. Fun to see all the cameos. I've recommended it to several friends. I don't watch a while lot of TV and most of the films watch are historical epics or documentaries. Or what my kids are watching. I truly enjoyed watching Demise.

Looking forward to finding out how Celine's character develops and what transpires between the new character. Would love to see Caleb show a little more Latino cultural values that are typical in these types of men in LA.

What I loved most about this film was how it evoked memories of one of my all-time favorites, "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle." Writer and director Yara Estrada Lowe masterfully blends elements of suspense and psychological intrigue, crafting a modern-day, more seductive thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. With its captivating storyline and intense performances, this movie promises an unforgettable cinematic experience that's perfect for a thrilling night in with your significant other. Even better, the movie grows on you with each viewing, revealing new layers and nuances that make it even more compelling the second or third time around.

Prepare yourself for two hours of non-stop drama and suspense! This modern noir thriller has a plot twist around every corner. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, constantly on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. The film's gripping narrative will leave you thinking about it long after the credits roll. The cinematography is stunning, creating a visually captivating experience. Liz Fenning delivers an incredible performance, bringing depth and intensity to her character. Writer/Director Lowe clearly has a flair for the dramatic, showcasing her talent in every scene. I can't wait to see what she comes up with for her next project!
