Good concept, poorly executed.

... View MoreI remember watching this movie on TV a few years back. It was so bad, I can only remember the scenes that just made me die laughing. The only plot summary I can give you (without any spoilers) is picture a home movie made by college kids who were high.(Spoiler alert starts here...) When the movie starts, a guy's running, being chased by the "Demon Cop", when in fact, the man was really being chased by a Halloween costume gone wrong. A car pops out of nowhere, hitting the guy who was running. It sends him flying over the top of it, and what does the driver do??? Watches the man as he falls, gets back in his car and drives away. What kind of hair-brained dolt would do that? I would've at least asked if the guy was okay.Then, some black guy stares the Demon Cop straight in the face, then, later tells reporters, "I didn't get a good look at him." My sisters and I, by then, were almost choking ourselves to death with laughter.Then, there's some scene in an alley, where this girl with an afro, pulls a machine gun out of her teeny-weeny little purse. It couldn't have possibly FIT!! I can hardly remember certain scenes. Maybe it's because they were just that bad.Cops in the film can't even jump a fence, and the acting is so wooden, it makes planks of wood look like better actors.All in all, this movie brings shame to Hollywood, way more than any other flop could. You have to see it to believe its sappy cheesy plot, which it has none of, as far as I can tell.
... View MoreAs I was flipping through the channel I came to a channel 124. It is an urban channel. I saw this movie on and decided to give it a try. I almost became a mass murderer due to this film. I have done home movies and they are oscar quality compared to this huge mass of Dookie. The lighting was terrible and the acting was absolutely unrelentlessly bad. I would rather watch Star Crystal....... Holy cow maybe that is not a good example. The main question I have about this film is... Was it to be a morality film? the reason why I ask is because ther was one line where this lady in a wheelchair says " I would have been another gang statistic" Oh my head is starting to hurt. After hearing that line I went into the kitchen and pulled out a knife ready to stab anyone who dared watch this movie. But some sense kicked in and I just changed the channel to watch the man with the afro paint. Well that is all I have to say about this movie. If you want to endure this pain go ahead but not recommended for those with short fuses or a bad case of tourettes
... View MoreI must begin by saying that from a 'production values' view this is possibly the worst film ever made. But for all the faults (and there are many) that Rocco makes in this poor display of movie making there are moments when you realise your life was revolved around seeing this movie. It looks like a home movie and the plot is simply baffling at best but Demon Cop is just so poor that you have to relive it again and again and soon it has become an obsession. For a professional movie company to produce this gives hope to us all with my friends and I certain to make a movie based loosely on a demonic cop, its just that inspiring.The cover leads you to believe a rogue cop turns bad and becomes a demon but this couldn't be further from the truth. Really this werewolf type creature who was once a probationary officer stalks random victims for a cure to his blood disease which causes him to be demon cop. I can't really say any more simply because that is all I can make from the plot.Director Rocco Carego has put out something that is so bad it must be seen to be believed. The acting is just terrible, the scene sequence appaling and the less said about the overall direction the better. You think I am kidding but I could shot a better picture with my home video camera. Yet this apparent R horror is such a send up of itself (though not on purpose) you become drawn to it and the 100 minutes are spent laughing at this accidental satire. You just want to watch it again and again to see how many faults there really are but it is just so funny you begin to feel sorry for Rocco. As a horror I give it 3 out of 10 but as a comedy I give it a 10, long live Demon Cop a MUST see!!!
... View MoreI recently saw this movie on a local independent channel and it sparked my curiosity. It was very hard to follow and suffers from lack of production quality and actors. The film lists the late Cameron Mitchell as the main star of the movie (best known for tons of B flicks and 70's TV appearances like "Fantasy Island"). When I saw him at talking at the beginning of the movie, I figured I'd be watching a cheap B horror movie. Instead, what I found was something like what I would have made on my home movie video camera when I was a teenager.First off, Cameron Mitchell only makes two appearances in the whole movie, about 3 minutes at the beginning and 3 minutes at the end. He is supposed to be some kind of Doctor or something and he's telling a story about what happened to one of his experimental patients or something. In both scenes, he's sitting at a desk in an office and at no time does he appear in any of the scenes of the movie or interact with any of the "actors". I heard a narrator at times throughout the movie that could possibly be Mitchell, but with the sound quality being so bad, I couldn't tell if it was him.I can't really comment on the plot to much, due to the fact that I had a very hard time following it (partly due to the sound track). A couple of detectives are investigating a series of murders in a suburban / city area. A man (I guess its Mitchell's patient) has a disease that causes him to turn into a sort of werewolf - looking monster.This movie seems to have been shot on video and fades to black after almost every scene. I did observe some film scratch lines from time to time which could have been added for effect. This movie also has an overwhelming 80's feeling to it - back ground music, clothing, set designs, etc. There seems to be a lot of voice sound - overs (dubbing) that is not very well done.To point out just a very few positives, the make-up effects aren't too bad. This might have been O.K. as a 15 minute short, and shows some, if little, hope for the cast and crew involved.Feeling generous today, I'll give this movie 1 out of 10 stars.
