The Irrefutable Truth About Demons (2000)

I wanted to but couldn't!

Good movie but grossly overrated

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Upon finding himself under attack by a strange demonic cult, an anthropology professor tries to come to terms with his attitude when dealing with such groups in the past as he struggles to fight off the group's demonic ambushes.Pretty enjoyable effort at times, though this is still pretty flawed. The best parts here are clearly the attempts at reality-altering that occur throughout the film, consisting of numerous visions that seem to occur at random times throughout the story, which range from bloody mutilations to demonic hallucinations and the appearance of real demons that really make this pretty freaky at times since there's a great tendency to use it for both reality and the hallucinations, making it unclear what's really happening. The use of black magic in the finale is pretty fun, and the deaths are plenty gory enough, though this one's problems do rear up. The villain here is a total joke and inspires nothing to fear, the followers are even worse as they look just like punks on adrenaline, and the continued implications that tell us otherwise are tiresome after a while. Plus, there's also the mistake of not doing any explaining of what's going on, leaving this slightly confusing as to what's the point. Though it's still watchable, these were enough to knock it down a little.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Brief Nudity and a sex scene.

I really like this movie. It takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you re-think your attitude to demons. The movie itself is low-key and does not rely heavily on special effects, but rather on the storyline and the acting. The main characters being very convincing with a few twists and turns that may surprise you. Karl Urban has continued to make a number of good films and I would include this one as a must see for Urban fans If I have one misgiving with this movie it is that it is assumed that those involved in cults would dress in punk outfits and stand out in the way that they do. So that they fall into a stereotype. Pity! Nevertheless this is worth watching for the acting and the premise that certainly got me wondering about the Truth about Demons. Cheers Furdion

I was up late one night watching Sci-Fi and I stumbled upon this flick. I recommend it if you want to see some wild make up ideas and a bit of...fantasy, mostly involving anatomy. i.e. someone ripping your heart out and it miraculously being back in your chest. How's that possible? Go watch the movie and hopefully you won't be disappointed. I do however believe that it probably could of been put together better but that's not necessarily my judging. It's something that will make you think if you believe in such things of the sort, heaven and hell most of all. But then again, isn't anything possible? It's all a matter of faith and being naive enough to see a demon chasing you. I'd watch it again, out of pure boredom most likely.

In the long tradition of b-movies made in australia, Irrefutably boring starts off with some humorous dialogue: "that's not fear, that's how I look every morning. it's called existential fatigue". I thought it was amusing. Quickly enough the protagonist opens an envelope filled with blood and a vhs tape... and off to sleepy land we go. Seriously, this is tired, boring stuff. demons, gratuitous gore, satanists. Ok, I guess that would be ok if this were somewhat scary, but the this is about as taut a thriller as the maury povitch show.B-Movies are like independent movies minus entertainment. They're like all the things that make hollywood crap, crap, minus the budget that makes them watchable. Save your hour and a half and do something around the house, or sleep, or something.
