Review of Demons

Demons (I) (2017)
8/10
A Masterful Psychological Puzzle
7 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The difficulties of creating an independent film extends from creating the script, finding the right actors to filming it with the right crew. Under a limited budget and time sometimes films under these circumstances will have major flaws. Demons however is not one of these films.

Demons is a very intellectual piece of literature delving into the deep psychological aspects of the human being bound by religion, family, and societal challenges. It is a rich narrative that leaves a lot to the imagination all the while leading you to complete a puzzle that is the story. Though it is hard to follow at times due to the philosophical and intense psychological aspects, it will leave audiences in awe of how the causality of every action in the film intertwine. I will be honest in saying that not only is this not for the faint of heart but also those who do not wish to take the time to piece together details. As previously stated it is a psychological puzzle piece in my humble understanding.

As with the technical aspects, I will just say that it is not a blockbuster film and so some people may not agree with some of the choices that were bound by the time and budget. The narrative and the acting in the film more than makes up for it under my most humble opinion.

Definitely looking forward to what Miles Doleac will do next.
