Demon Cop (1990)

Pretty Good

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

After reading the comments made by the other reviewer about this film, who is clearly a film buff, I thought I would include my own point, as someone who watches films simply for the crack. Demon Cop is no Lord Of The Rings or Terminator 2, but it does make for some compelling viewing, for the simple fact you have no idea whats going on, it looks like it was made by a blind man, and not once in the film is the Demon actually a cop! This film is so bad its fantastic! The film starts with and introduction by a Doctor who is the head of a mental asylum, who talks of one of his patients (the Demon Cop), which I cant see how he can talk about him as he dies at the end of the film, and not once was he in the asylum! Then we move to a seen where a man is being chased by the Demon Cop. This is hilarious as the man is sprinting for dear life while the Demon Cop plods behind, but he's only ever just in front of the Demon Cop! The Demon Cop himself is brilliant - from what I can gather, he's an ex-Special Forces/ Vietnam war hero who got a medal, who was involved in a drive-by shooting, who has HIV, who is a cop, sings songs in 'Demon Form', can't open doors and gets fooled by women in wheelchairs with tazer guns! You can imagine how bad this is. The production itself is horrendous. The opening credits mix are written in chalk on a wall (which you can't read), when people are talking it either shows the back of their heads, their mouths or their eyes, rarely their full face (can't blame them really - I wouldn't want to be shown in this film) and the music is done by a 3 year old on a knackered keyboard. It gets worse on from here, but thats what my review is about. Top marks to the distribution company for releasing this, whatever you were on that day I want some! The film is awful, but it gets full marks because it is so bad, i could watch it again and again and laugh my head off, which is strange as its supposed to be a horror movie! I will finish with saying that if you want to watch a good movie, clearly avoid like the plague. But if you want a film that you and your friends can watch while having a beer then this is a must. Recommended because its so bad! Bring on the DVD version, if ever!

As I was flipping through the channel I came to a channel 124. It is an urban channel. I saw this movie on and decided to give it a try. I almost became a mass murderer due to this film. I have done home movies and they are oscar quality compared to this huge mass of Dookie. The lighting was terrible and the acting was absolutely unrelentlessly bad. I would rather watch Star Crystal....... Holy cow maybe that is not a good example. The main question I have about this film is... Was it to be a morality film? the reason why I ask is because ther was one line where this lady in a wheelchair says " I would have been another gang statistic" Oh my head is starting to hurt. After hearing that line I went into the kitchen and pulled out a knife ready to stab anyone who dared watch this movie. But some sense kicked in and I just changed the channel to watch the man with the afro paint. Well that is all I have to say about this movie. If you want to endure this pain go ahead but not recommended for those with short fuses or a bad case of tourettes

I must begin by saying that from a 'production values' view this is possibly the worst film ever made. But for all the faults (and there are many) that Rocco makes in this poor display of movie making there are moments when you realise your life was revolved around seeing this movie. It looks like a home movie and the plot is simply baffling at best but Demon Cop is just so poor that you have to relive it again and again and soon it has become an obsession. For a professional movie company to produce this gives hope to us all with my friends and I certain to make a movie based loosely on a demonic cop, its just that inspiring.The cover leads you to believe a rogue cop turns bad and becomes a demon but this couldn't be further from the truth. Really this werewolf type creature who was once a probationary officer stalks random victims for a cure to his blood disease which causes him to be demon cop. I can't really say any more simply because that is all I can make from the plot.Director Rocco Carego has put out something that is so bad it must be seen to be believed. The acting is just terrible, the scene sequence appaling and the less said about the overall direction the better. You think I am kidding but I could shot a better picture with my home video camera. Yet this apparent R horror is such a send up of itself (though not on purpose) you become drawn to it and the 100 minutes are spent laughing at this accidental satire. You just want to watch it again and again to see how many faults there really are but it is just so funny you begin to feel sorry for Rocco. As a horror I give it 3 out of 10 but as a comedy I give it a 10, long live Demon Cop a MUST see!!!

I recently saw this movie on a local independent channel and it sparked my curiosity. It was very hard to follow and suffers from lack of production quality and actors. The film lists the late Cameron Mitchell as the main star of the movie (best known for tons of B flicks and 70's TV appearances like "Fantasy Island"). When I saw him at talking at the beginning of the movie, I figured I'd be watching a cheap B horror movie. Instead, what I found was something like what I would have made on my home movie video camera when I was a teenager.First off, Cameron Mitchell only makes two appearances in the whole movie, about 3 minutes at the beginning and 3 minutes at the end. He is supposed to be some kind of Doctor or something and he's telling a story about what happened to one of his experimental patients or something. In both scenes, he's sitting at a desk in an office and at no time does he appear in any of the scenes of the movie or interact with any of the "actors". I heard a narrator at times throughout the movie that could possibly be Mitchell, but with the sound quality being so bad, I couldn't tell if it was him.I can't really comment on the plot to much, due to the fact that I had a very hard time following it (partly due to the sound track). A couple of detectives are investigating a series of murders in a suburban / city area. A man (I guess its Mitchell's patient) has a disease that causes him to turn into a sort of werewolf - looking monster.This movie seems to have been shot on video and fades to black after almost every scene. I did observe some film scratch lines from time to time which could have been added for effect. This movie also has an overwhelming 80's feeling to it - back ground music, clothing, set designs, etc. There seems to be a lot of voice sound - overs (dubbing) that is not very well done.To point out just a very few positives, the make-up effects aren't too bad. This might have been O.K. as a 15 minute short, and shows some, if little, hope for the cast and crew involved.Feeling generous today, I'll give this movie 1 out of 10 stars.
