Review of Demonwarp

Demonwarp (1988)
5/10
Not at all bad for an obscure B film

I'm pretty much a fan of any horror/sci fi film - especially older ones which were made before the Sci Fi (oops that's SYFY now) channel seems to have gotten the monopoly on astonishingly poor B films. Anyway Demonwarp is one such film which somehow managed to slip past me completely. I'd never seen or even heard of it until just last night when I ran across a mention of it on another website. I found it online and watched it today.

I liked it. It certainly wasn't even close to "great" but I liked it anyway. The story itself was rather original although wonky pacing and poor editing ruined what could have been a better film overall. The acting was nothing to cheer about either but all the girls were - shall we say - easy on the eyes? Yes. The gratuitous tit shots didn't hurt but even in the absence of them, they were still cute. The film's direction was also more than a little clunky and the fight/conflict scenes were poorly handled at best. Sound design was interesting and the musical score was pretty good.

THE SHINING this wasn't but it was far superior to anything I've seen on SyFy channel in the last 10 years. At least I watched this one to the end.
