Review of Demonium

Demonium (2001)
No reedeming qualities at all...
15 January 2004
I saw this film yesterday, hoping it would be one of the so 'bad they're good' splatter films which I enjoy from time to time. But as the plot unfolded, right from the start I knew I had my hands on something really, really bad. To begin with, the acting is well.. atrocious, I mean the so called 'actors' were not only bad, but it almost seemed like they were trying their best to be the worst, it wasn't fun at all to mock them either since they seemed like porno actors and most of them were pretty unattractive to boot. The story already gives itself away in the beginning and soon you'll realize that for the rest of the film you will not be getting any surprises. I was yawning all the way through since I already knew what would happen. The sets and camera angles used are plain and do nothing to heighten the suspanse, not even the cheap scares worked since it all looked so fake. As far as the music score went, nothing to say really, just your usual spooky horror music we've all heard before, except for the occasional german (?) eletronic/metal/goth song in the background. By the end I was skipping forward with the remote to avoid the redundant and totally pointless dialogue between the characters, I don't even know what it was all about since the script is an amateurish disaster and everything that happens is so bizarre and illogical that it boggles the mind as to how such a screenplay could have been written by a sane person. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this trash, it has nothing going for it except some cheap murder scene which failed even to make me cringe in the slightest. And what's with the ending?? what is the point of it all?. Avoid it like the plague!
