Name the Demon

Atrocious writing, poorly acted (except the possessed woman, who was not terrible and the daughter, I guess), ludicrous conceits at every turn.

The one fun thing was the battery life on the camera being on screen at all times, It heartened me to watch it dwindle and bolstered my resolve to see this move through to the end. Watching the battery deplete was the best part of this film.

Thankfully, it was short. It could have been even shorter if we didn't have 10 minutes of one character's pointless searching of the basement while breathing directly into the microphone, but considering the rest of the movie it wasn't the low point.

A disaster from start to finish. The acting was laughably bad, with the cast delivering their lines so poorly it seemed like they were struggling to stay in character. At times, the actors looked like they were holding back laughter, completely ruining any sense of fear or tension.

And what was with the random priest kiss? It was absurd and out of place and added nothing to the story and made the movie feel even more disjointed. The special effects were amateurish at best, and the plot made little sense from beginning to end.

There were also moments that destroyed the immersion, like when Anna, supposedly in the middle of a possession, casually adjusted her nightgown as if nothing was happening. Moments like these highlighted how rushed and sloppy the production was.

It felt like the filmmakers were sloppy or simply didn't care. Overall, *Name the Demon* is a poorly made film that's better left unwatched.

True horror fans will enjoy this unique possession movie! Great special effects for a lower budget films and great performances from the actors! A few plot holes, but what horror movie doesn't have them!?

Jessi Nerud, Danny Bohnen, Scotty Bohnen, & Scott Moore gave great performances. If you like this movie this director and cast did another good horror movie called Sin Eater, which has a really cool premise and back story as well.

Found footage films often miss the mark but this one did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and watch this low budget, horror found footage film it is definitely worth the short run time!

Is it perfect? No, but it's an Indie film. But you'll at least be entertained and I think you may even like it more than you might guess at first. The way it's told certainly isn't for everyone but I think it takes the right person who enjoys horror movies and has run out of mainstream options. It's that time of year to be watching these types of movies so enjoy it while you can because after October it'll be Christmas movies until January. I also think the directors have a unique flare for making something that isn't quite conventional and it may not be for everyone but is for the right type of fan.

I really enjoyed it, the enclosed claustrophobic atmosphere fit perfectly with this story. The practical effects were what stood out the most for me, so many big budget films overuse CGI and it makes it look too cosmetic. What this pulled off was what Sam Raimi did in Evil Dead, I believe that was definitely inspiration for this film, I can't spoil anything examples, but if you watch this film you'll know what I'm talking about.

I hope to see more from these filmmakers and the two actors Danny and Scotty, horror genre fits them perfectly as I know they're huge fans of it.

Check this film out and enjoy what will be a cult classic.
