The Demon Files

It's cherry-picked bits and pieces spliced for sensational effect, just like the rest of the genre.

While I am disinclined dismiss Sarchie as unknowledgeable or ineffective, I do have to sincerely question the veracity of anyone of his alleged caliber that would have any tolerance for the sensationalism and promotion of intrigue for this type of work. The show becomes an enticement for precisely what he claims to warn against, by way of ineffective fear tactics.

Having watched the first three episodes and heard about how they "feel" a cold spot when they have been running up and down stairs to the point of perspiration; is not evidence, it's hearsay... measure it! Claims that a light anomaly on a recording must be spirit because dust doesn't move that way and cant change size... seriously? Is there any realization of the fluid dynamics of air, or the physics of light in refraction here? After all, your not watching a particle change or roll, but an anomaly of light. Sarchie may be able to learn a great deal here by taking up smoking a pipe in the early morning or late afternoon and just observing.

The ubiquitous granting of power to objects to be doorways to "evil" and all the episodes going straight to provoking situations are disturbing at very least. These people should be all too aware that when you call something enough, sooner or later something is likely to answer (whether it was originally there or not)... not to mention the more you practice, the better your get. Any time you open up a conversation in this type of circumstance; it IS an INVITATION!

While the program is somewhat interesting, it could only be found captivating by the most superstitious of personalities. The best rating I could possibly give at present would be a 6, and trying preserve some modicum of respect for the team.

Not since the TV show Paranormal State have I seen a better reality show having to do with Spiritual Warfare. See that's what the paranormal really is a battle of light and dark- not ghosts that's just a symptom of a deeper issue. Anyways though Ghost Hunters was the first show i saw, it was Paranormal State that got me hooked, the combination of desperate family demonic haunting's and large haunted venues peppered with the Catholic background of the shows leadership gave a powerful rendering of true malevolent entities and the insidious sickness they carry and how God is the best cure. THE DEMON FILES are cut from that mold but better because PRS and its creator Ryan Buehl let Hollywood and creative liberties change there mission statement. I can say without a doubt this show would not go that route. Ralph Sarchie is a man of God before he is anything else (in my opinion) and does this show to get the word out that this is real and that there is a solution and although it shares the common characteristics of a lot of paranormal shows it is totally unique in its doctrine and delivery. Awesome show- especially if you are a believer!!! Watch it and see.

It is good to see Ralph Sarchie and his crew investigating and going after true evil. The TV is inundated with ghost hunters but now, there is someone who has a recorded past of really dealing with demons and oppression/possession. Ralph is a NO BS Former NYC Police Sergeant and his passion for what he does is just as intense and just as real and no BS as you can get... Tough and tough love... for what he does with his team to help those in real spiritual need. This goes beyond ghosts, beyond bumps in the night... this is a fight for sanity and soul and Ralph Sarchie and his team are there to help.

This is not only good entertainment... This is real...

I have never commented or wrote anything on IMDb before but I've been waiting for a program like this for a very very long time a paranormal program thats about demonic hauntings only. I've not watched this yet but as i said its the type of show I've been waiting for, and I'm a bit gutted that there only seems to be 3 episodes. All other paranormal shows feature demons but there isn't a show dedicated solely to the phenomena. From what I've been reading and learning recently demonic hauntings are on the rise and i think people should be aware whether they believe or not. Or at least look at the user reviews for this program and see that it seems popular with people that watch other paranormal programs on Destination America and keep it running.., I'm going to watch the 3 episodes now and keep my fingers crossed that Destination America rethinks its decision or broadcast another show on the topic. Paranormal Survivor and Witness, A Haunting The Haunted are great shows that I'd like to see more of.

OK will watch and write my first EVER review.

I'll admit that I've never seen a ghost show that was good, and credit where credit is due, this show isn't like other ghost shows in it's approach or atmosphere.

But you have to be kidding me that all these people give it 10 stars. Maybe they're part of the show or trying to get out of some tickets in trade. Which brings us to the title of the review;

How on earth did this guy not only get to be an armed cop, but a sergeant at that. They must have been desperate where he worked.

Anyways, it's half jerry springer, half Christian .. something - I don't wanna say propaganda because it's soo lame, I don't know who it's supposed to fool. But apparently this no nonsense show seems to hinge on religious nonsense and silly zero dollar effects.

Conveniently one internet printed standard exorcism fits all, and we even get the benefit of finding out a religion is actually right and that the power of Christ compels demons.

Phew, no more need to think with thingy between ears...
