3 Demons

The setting was interesting enough to give it a try. The cop has the order to watch a dead body. Then the horror starts and the body is moving, also some creatures appear. That's it. The next 30 minutes this scene is repeating and I quit watching. Check it out for yourself. If you make it to the end, please tell the others how this mytery is resolved.

Well, this was essentially a slow and boring descend into madness. But I am getting ahead of myself here. When I sat down to watch the 2022 movie "3 Demons", it was without ever having heard about it. I stumbled upon the movie, and given the fact it was a new horror movies and apparently something with demons, then of course I opted to see what writers Matt Cunningham and Peter Tell had to offer. And let me just tell you that it wasn't the most riveting of storylines. Sure, "3 Demons" was watchable, though keep in mind that it was a monotonous storyline and a pretty slow paced narrative. And that made "3 Demons" a fairly difficult and prolonged movie to sit through. I managed to endure it to the end, hoping that the movie would pick up pace and intensity, but that just never happened. I am sure that the script was interesting on paper, but the transition to the screen just wasn't a particularly exicting one. I was only mildly entertained by the slow descend into madness that seemed to be the plot of the storyline. But I have to say that too little of any interest happened throughout the course of the storyline to actually keep the movie interesting or afloat. The acting performances in the movie were adequate. I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but I will say that the actors and actresses did put on adequate enough performances given the severe limitations imposed by an inadequate script. Visually then "3 Demons" was actually okay. But special effects can only do so much to alleviate an inferior script. My rating of "3 Demons" lands on a three out of ten stars.

This was awful, sorry to say. I get that it's a budget movie but it had all of the worst qualities of a budget movie without anything redeeming. Some effects were OK. It felt like it was made for TV or something. Uneven acting. More than a few scenes were cringe. That's all I can really say about it. Don't waste your time. I'm only giving it 2 stars because the doctor was a crazy hot mature knockout, whoever she was. That was the best thing about it.

Deputy Fisher (Peter Tell, who co-wrote this) must watch over the body of the recently deceased Matya Abelman (Laura Golinski) until her family can claim the body. But his curiosity gets the better of him and when he looks at her body, he concludes an unfinished ritual. Now tormented by literal demons, he must also face the demons of his past. Director and co-writer Matt Cunningham (The Mangler Reborn, The Spore) weaves a pretty interesting tale here. For some movies, it'd be enough to have that corpse walk around, conveniently after Fisher's partner Haley (Heslip Winters) leaves. But what if there was something watching from the woods? Or that Fisher's wife and daughter came back from the grave as well and start bedeviling him? And just who is that voice on the radio? This was a real surprise to me, a movie that I had no expectations for whatsoever and ended up spellbound by. Definitely check it out - it's high concept on low budget, which is one cocktail I always love to drink.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, and then I was blown away by the ride. Fans of non traditional story telling are in for a treat. The twists and turns add up to something really special. It's clearly a small budget affair, but that doesn't detract at all from the experience. The story centers around a small town cop tasked with a seemingly simple objective: protect a dead body until the family can pick it up. But then things start to get ... weird. This thing had me guessing the whole way. The suspense is gripping. It's a possession movie, but not the way I was used to. It was almost like it was a first person account of what it must be like to be possessed. And from that stand point it's terrifying. Don't expect a typical Hollywood production here. This is different. And it's special.

Watched with a friend and we both agreed this is one of the worst films we've sat through recently and made it through to the end. We only watched the entire thing, hoping there would be some explanation to what was going on, but good luck with that. As someone else mentioned, it just seems to be some random scenes that make no sense just all strung together and called a movie. Trying to find anything positive to say, the lead actor did his best and was somewhat appealing. The negatives were everything else. This film, if you can even call it that, had no plot, wasn't well written, was poorly shot, with bad sound, the demon costumes were bargain basement and there was no horror atmosphere to any of it. There were no scares, we just sat there confused. It wasn't so bad we turned it off early, because we thought something, anything at all may end up being explained, but we had no idea what was going on and couldn't care less, except to be glad it finally ended.

Either this was an artsy allegory of a man coming to terms with something he did in his past, or it was a director's lame attempt at that. I mean, dozens and dozens of disjointed scenes without explanation, without continuity, without purpose -- it borders on annoying. There is really no explanation for this movie, I think, and the characters are never explained and act without reason or purpose. I felt like I was suffering from schizophrenia while watching it. I am not sure what to make of it. Maybe you can do better than I did. Great acting, though, and great cinematography.
