Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
meddlecore Cyborg-vampire extraterrestrial overlords with giant scorpion stingers; shapeshifting Sasquatches on murder sprees; Zombie drones; Demonic cult sacrifices; and loads of totally unnecessary full frontal nudity...Demonwarp has a little something for everyone.This is one of those totally bizarre, so bad it's brilliant, 80's schlock horror gems that never made it past a VHS release...though it is certainly due for an upgrade.It starts off like you'd expect your standard "don't go into that part of the woods" film with bigfoots would. But by the time the end rolls around you find that you have been taking in something much more bizarre- and hilariously so!!!For a while I was worried they weren't going to tie up all the loose ends that were subtly introduced in earlier parts of the film (like the crash of the spacecraft, and inexplicable zombie that makes an appearance half-way through). But alas, I was too quick to judge. I just needed to let it all play out...and when it does...it's gold, baby. Gold.The overall style and acting are incredibly cheesy- albeit in the most entertaining way possible. Which only acts to compliment the b-grade aura exuded by this epic monster flick. The special effects and gore tend to be hit or miss. Some parts are as bad as the acting...while others are actually quite well done (like the transformation scenes near the end). Patently ridiculous storyline aside, the highlight of this production is definitely the monsters. They are actually pretty well done, considering the nature of the film and all. Especially the Bigfoot character...which is badass! What starts off as a pretty standard "group of kids wanders into the wrong part of the woods" type film, quickly takes a turn towards the bizarre...and that's what makes it so great! The final twist is a bit cliché- but honestly, I expected nothing less. A true cult classic!!! Comes highly recommended.7 out 10 for creativity and entertainment value. Though it probably deserves far less.
ablebravo 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.
The_StarWolf While not as bad as THE CREEPING TERROR (how could anything be?), this confused mess definitely ranks (literally) right down there with some of the worst. As someone else wrote, even a couple of topless bimbos can't begin to save this dreadful piece of crap. It wouldn't have taken much for a competent director/screenwriter to turn this into a truly hilarious comedy. As it was it had me giggling in frank disbelief at the absurdities on screen. A 'Bigfoot' monster that's taken high school auto shop classes? Must have, given how it cleverly disabled that engine. But wait! It's not a monster movie, it's a zombie movie, as shown by the Romero retreads seen shuffling about. Although that's not right either as you've got aliens. But are they aliens? Where does the 'demon' part from the title come in? Actually, this film doesn't know WHAT the heck it wants to be. I can only conjecture that George Kennedy, an otherwise fine actor, is staying up nights wishing he could find ways to destroy every copy of this abomination.
drhackenstine A group of teens in a cabin in a woods are attacked by a creepy-ass Bigfoot monster, which kills a couple of them. The monster disappears into the night and the next morning they go on a search into the woods to find and destroy it. The name of the forest the carnage takes place in is Demonwood, and it seems many strange events have occurred there over the years, according to some supporting characters. The teens meet up with George Kennedy who's daughter was carried off by the same monster. He's also looking for revenge. A few extras wandering around the woods get slaughtered by the Bigfoot. Some of the murders are gross. Some of the gorier special effects are good. The last 20 minutes comes out of left field and adds another spin on the story, a spin that involves aliens, zombies, and a cultish looking maniac. Not a bad horror movie, it should prove to be a good view by any un-demanding horror fan. The twists at the end are kinda fun, and there are some good grisly moments strewn through out the story. Gratuitous nudity helps keep things interesting and the cast is not all that bad. George Kennedy is fun to watch hamming it up as the vengeance-minded father. Worth a look. Two And A Half Stars.
