Demonic

For a perfect rate I would have put down 5.5 stars, cause 6 is too much and 5 still too little, but, we have to work with what we have, so 5 stars from me and one positive review!

Without spoiling it or give away unnecessary information, I'm going to keep it short and let you know, that Demonic, even tho such a cliché of a name, plot and even cover, stands up much better than most such productions probably because it was kept simple. Effective, intriguing, good acting, well picked actors, it wasn't the "let's do a horror in the woods" or "in a haunted house", but I genuinely think they wanted to make a horror. And they sure succeed!

So, compared to a lot of similar movies, Demonic offers thrills, scares, a little bit of mystery, overall, a good time!

Cheers!

This was not so bad! You know, I've seen some of those movies that got 2 and 3 on imdb and that really gives you some perspective on things, this starts out traditional and quite obviously not the best movie made, some horror film cliché comes in early, young people investigate the paranormal in an abandon place and so on, we have all seen that before, but! Then ...it 's not just that anymore, we see what happened after the obligatory seance in the "haunted house" in flashbacks at the same time as police try to make sense of the story from one of the survivors -This dyamic is sort of new for the genre and feels a little fresh, and the scares, although not jump scaring you every 5 seconds, it's was pretty spooky sometimes, enjoyably so you can say. I've seen a lot of horror, a lot of B movies, some have charm and some dont, this is not the best movie but it got a little something that works. Acting is good in some parts not so good in others but overall not bad. I dont regret putting it on.

To be honest I look for any good movies to kind of watch. This movie turned out to be a nice surprise. The story plot was kind of same as has been there for most of the other movies in this genre. But still the way it played out was very nice.

It starts as with any good horror movie and keeps you gripped in your seat. You can't help wanting more of it and trying to empathize with the characters. It is a story of mystery and horror, gripped with the thrill and excitement of watching a horror unfold itself.

I would recommend anyone who wants to watch a nice horror movie to definitely go for it. It has the occasional jumps and screams, but turns out at the end you would start wanting more.

In Louisiana, police detective Mark Lewis (Frank Grillo) takes over a bloody crime scene. He finds survivor John (Dustin Milligan) who becomes his prime suspect. Police psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Klein (Maria Bello) interviews John on site. He and his pregnant girlfriend Michelle (Cody Horn) had joined a group of young ghost hunters, Bryan (Scott Mechlowicz), Jules (Megan Park), Donnie (Aaron Yoo), and Sam (Alex Goode). He had been haunted by visions of the house.

This has all been done before. The final twist is completely predictable. It's basically a found footage horror in a haunted house. There is nothing particularly new. The actors are a mixed bag although they are all pretty good. This is a straight-forward horror.

This wasn't a bad movie. I had no expectations for this to be good at all. However, I was surprised. It wasn't great, but it was pretty original, and the acting was well done.

My big problem with the movie was all the jumping back-and-forth between the past and present scenes. They should've just stuck with the people going to the house, and then they could've dealt with the aftermath with the police. It was confusing for the first few times.

I gave this a 5-star rating. If you're in the mood for a fairly original story that actually does have some jump moments that are well executed, you might want to give this a try.
