Demonic (2015)

Thanks for the memories!

A Masterpiece!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I expected this movie to be a stereotypical jump scare movie, however I was pleasantly surprised with the character development and the twist at the end. Overall very entertaining

I ADORE the opening of this film....and then we are thrown into that awful, extended, whining and sobbing interrogation with the main guy and the cop. O-M-G that annoying sequence could have been cut down by a third and still made sense. I love films that mix the use of traditional cinema and found footage. This one does it ...ermm...kind of well. My only issue was that when it switches to FF it was so ugly looking and sounding. We get it, it is supposed to be video camera footage, but we are still watching a movie and want it to look decent. No one believes FF is real anymore, I wish filmmakers would stop spending so much time trying to make it seem real. Overall, this is a great popcorn flick. I recommend.

A group of ghost hunters visit a house where a séance happened that resulted in a few deaths. The paranormal investigators decide to do another séance which turns out to be a bad idea.This one opens up with the police arriving on the scene of what appears to be a bloodbath. One survivor is found and the police begin to question him. The story is told through flashbacks leading up to present time.Fast paced, keeps you hooked and loaded with jump scares. Bonus points for not being a full blown found footage flick. I would sum this one up as a Unusual Suspects meets Ouija. Worth the watch.6 birds flying out of your mouth out of 10.

Ignore the convoluted plot and the history of the narrative, and you have just another haunted house movie where silly young kids who think they are the next big thing get killed off one by one by someone who may be possessed.But add the acting chops of Grillo and Bello, and it takes the film from the mundane into something that is a little bit better than it has the right to be.So to cut a mundane story short, someone believes that a certain house is calling them, so a rag tag team is assembled and plan to do a seance to awake the spirits in the house.There is an element of found footage meeting Rashomon, but that's where the similarities to that film end. We go back and forth to the footage that was filmed, and the interrogation between one of the characters and Bello's Psychologist.And that's it really, we have the obligatory jump scares, people walking around dark corridors looking scared, and an ending that tries to emulate The Usual Suspects.Grillo and Bello are fine making the most of a poor script, but you couldn't care less about the selfish kids who try to summon the spirits.It could have been something quite entertaining, as the story does have potential, but it's executed poorly.
