When I sat down to watch this 2021 horror movie from writer and director Neill Blomkamp, I must admit that I was expecting, uhm well, something more, you know, demonic!
Instead I was treated to 1 hour and 44 minutes of pure rubbish. And what was supposed to be demonic was just laughable. Take heed, horror fans, and don't waste your time, money or effort on "Demonic".
The storyline told in "Demonic" was pointless to the core. This was a movie about a daughters estranged relationship with her mom, that they get to attempt to patch up by means of ludicrous simulated interactive interaction.
And as for this being a horror movie. Nope. Don't even bet on it, this was boring and uneventful.
The acting in the movie was adequate, but the actresses and actors were severely hindered in putting on memorable performances given the fact that they virtually had nothing to work with in terms of an interesting storyline, a proper script, memorable characters or compelling dialogue. No, this was hands down a massive swing and a miss from writer and director Neill Blomkamp.
This is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you bother sitting down to watch. Nor is it a movie that I will ever sit down to waste time upon again.
My rating of "Demonic" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
