Demigod

We were fooled into thinking this movie was worthy of the 6.3 rating it had when we discovered it, but clearly this is not an honest reflection of the film, because this is one TERRIBLE movie. Unbelievably boring and slow. The acting wasn't too terrible (though the one-eyed witch was pretty awful, everyone else was merely mediocre), and the story could have been a decent one, but instead they ruined what could have been a suspenseful ancient tale. In addition, pretty much every scene had the characters do at least one incredibly stupid thing. Eye-rolling level stupid things. The music track was entirely inappropriate - slow and melodic instead of anything that built up some kind of suspense, and it would have fit better over a 1970's romance film. If you care about how you spend the next couple of hours, move on from this fake-review-fest and find something worth your time.

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.

No pun intended - also no child of mine of course. Well you may ask yourself, where you may have heard that or if that plays any role in this movie ... probably better not to go down that road. Or back to the village you are from - wait that was advice for the main characters in this movie. Not that they would listen anyway ... but what horror movie character does? You wouldn't have a movie if they did.

The mixture between languages is not helping - and it is not about the subtitles .. it is about the acting ... well let's call them "abilities" some of the people here display. Do not hold it against the movie if you can.

Story is not really that .. exciting either. But if you have a soft spot for horror movies ... well you are getting some nice setup and cinematography ... plus some violence and blood effects that are not that bad ... you decide if that is enough for you.

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.

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'.
