Demigod

Well, if you have problems falling asleep, then I can warmly recommend you put on "Demigod" from writers Miles Doleac and Michael Donovan Horn. This was a snooze-fest of epic proportions.

The storyline told in "Demigod" was bland. So very, very bland. And mundane. Needless to say that the insanely slow pacing of the narrative didn't really do anything to help lift up the movie, as it spiraled further and further into the depths of being unable to return to anything worthwhile.

This 2021 horror movie was a swing and a miss. A massive swing and a miss from director Milea Doleac. And it absolutely fell short of delivering anything enjoyable or entertaining for me. And I have to admit that I gave up on this stinking heap of a movie 49 minutes into the ordeal. Then I just couldn't sit through another minute of torture. And I can honestly say that I am not returning to watch the rest of "Demigod", I just simply couldn't care less about this movie.

The acting performances in the movie were held back by an incredibly poor storyline and stale dialogue. A shame really, because the actors and actresses didn't really have a proper chance to showcase their talents in "Demigod".

For a horror movie then "Demigod" was just a dud.

My rating of this pointless horror movie lands on a one out of ten stars.

First off, lazy and cheap. Horrible acting, writing was somewhat OK in the last 3 minutes of the first 20 minutes and went downhill from there. One character that barely spoke English in the beginning due to being a German ended up with a full British English accent half way through. All cosmetic attributes are off the $10.00 Halloween rack including the big budget one, whos fake plastic mask teeth waggled outside the mask where you could see the humans teeth inside.

Even the story was cheap and it seemed like they just started making it up on the fly towards the end.

The one thing I did like, is that several people did sharpen some sticks when they found themselves in the forest being 'hunted'. Will not have to shout at your television... 'omg someone sharpen a stick already'.

Whenever a flick gets glowing reviews, the majority of which are posted in a single month (say...October in this case) I immediately suspect that a group associated with the flick had a pity-party to pump up the rating to an artificially high level. I'm absolutely sure that this is the case here since this snooze-fest would never rate more than a "1" by any objective viewer. There is more action in your average daytime soap opera (as well as better acting). If you're looking for entertainment worth your time (and you have high enough self-esteem to think your time is worth ANYTHING) avoid this travesty. Please.

My main problem with this mediocre film is their bad German. It's like they used Google Translate without bothering to consult a native speaker. Also, some acting was bad. Some was good though.

Almost shut this one off because I thought it was going to be foreign language but it is not. Then I had to do a double take because the lead male sounds way too much like Denzel Washington. And wow I love the hand-cannon weapon they show off at the start.

We have the woods, we have bloody carcasses, and plenty of vomiting at the start! Then the thing gets pretty boring. Some bad overacting. Cruddy script.

Then we get a bunch of running around, and the 'god' chasing around specific people to be one of its three main worshippers. Oh my. It's really pretty bad.

If you want to see a fun romp thru the woods with the god Cernunos, I recommend The Ritual.

This one however., 2/10.
