   Aug 19, 2021 · A modestly scaled hodgepodge of clichés, the movie awkwardly mixes a few science-fiction touches with some horror-film basics (a demon, a haunted institution) and action-flick elements (guys...

   Aug 20, 2021 · “Demonic” is an incredibly cold film, and not just when it comes to on-camera issues like flat performances and dull dialogue, but in the filmmaking too. Perhaps the pandemic scared him away from his artistic instincts.

   Is 'demonic' a good movie?

   • “Demonic” is not such a singular amusement. It’s just a drag. It’s also baffling given that its writer-director, Neill Blomkamp, has a handful of solid movies on his résumé. Whatever you thought of the political reach of his feature debut “ District 9 ” or blowouts like “ Chappie ” and “ Elysium ,” he had a handle, however wobbly, on the material.

   Did you regret watching 'demonic'?

   • The movies were good enough that you didn’t regret your life choices after watching them. “Demonic” suckers you in with some auspicious flickers, including the movie’s atmosphere of clammy unease. The brooding British Columbia landscape, with its undulating dark waters and encircling gloomy mountains, do a lot to set the unsettled mood.

   Is 'demonic' a drag?

   • Yet somehow all the suboptimal (inept, incoherent) elements mysteriously cohere into a work that finds its own perverse groove. “Demonic” is not such a singular amusement. It’s just a drag. It’s also baffling given that its writer-director, Neill Blomkamp, has a handful of solid movies on his résumé.

   What does 'demonic' feel like?

   • Sadly, “Demonic” feels like a film made by someone who’s scared of his own ideas and his own limitations. Everything here, from the filmmaking to the screenwriting to the acting feels hesitant, as if the broad swings of “Chappie” (and really “ Elysium ” and “ District 9 ” too) have been replaced by trepidation.

   Are the demon effects passable?

   • The demon effects are passable, if mostly so blurred by the visual treatment that they make no impression. Pope acquits herself well enough in the lead role, but the attempt to add some heart by having her reconsider her anger toward her mother is too clumsily written to register, let alone represent a satisfying payoff.

   Does Pope acquit herself in demonic?

   • Pope acquits herself well enough in the lead role, but the attempt to add some heart by having her reconsider her anger toward her mother is too clumsily written to register, let alone represent a satisfying payoff. In the end, Demonic is all simulation, no real scares.
