Review of Demonic (2021) by Jluis_001 — 25 Aug 2021
Neill Blomkamp is a director who has had a lot of bad luck in Hollywood. Even after being connected to big films that were never made, such as the adaptation of Halo, a hypothetical new installment of Alien with Sigourney Weaver leading, and a new RoboCop movie.
He didn't do any of them.
He's an ambitious director who has made interesting stories but has never managed to surpass his debut; District 9, and while Elysium and Chappie weren't really successful, neither of them had been as brutal a setback in his career as Demonic is, which is easily the worst film he's done so far, by far.
Demonic has an interesting concept, but that's pretty much the only thing to be commended.
The execution, the direction, the tone, the incredible lack of horror, and above all the bad performances end up closing the circle of a painful disappointment.
