Excellent, a Must See

Disappointment for a huge fan!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

"You kids have done and excellent job...except for the maggots." Up until the priest says this, you might actually think that this film is trying to take itself seriously.This is a fairly enjoyable film. The SciFi channel shows it on a regular basis and it is a whole order of magnitude better and more competently made than, say, "Intermedio" or "Shapeshifter".One irritating thing about this film is that, being a B-film, there's no sanitized overdubbed version. Since there's a lot of profanity, you get these ridiculous gaps in the conversations that make you think you're on a cell phone. SciFi will gladly show you knives penetrating flesh, spurting blood, rolling heads, and entrails, but you sure don't want to be exposed to the F-word.Also, like most teen movies, there are a lot of naked boobs. The "Blur Squad" probably had to work weekends to get this one ready for TV.But at least the color balance is consistent and the editing isn't making you scratch your head. (In "Intermedio", for example, the director wanted to show characters going back the way they came in a crawlspace under a house. To do this, the film was simply reversed from the previous scene, resulting in all the writing on the characters' t-shirts being reversed as well. Lesson from film school...don't put any writing in scenes you're going to flip into a mirror image.) Worth watching on a Sunday morning.

'The whores are evil, and only a disjointed story can save the day.' ****SPOILER****Five delinquents are given the chance to do community service by fixing up an old mental hospital. Of course, the patients killed the staff and themselves, and the whole thing was built on the site of a demon worshiping bordello. Well shot with good camera work, but the story and dialog were weak and the sound was frustrating. The fact that the 'demon slayer' character was introduced an hour into the film is the best example of the too-slow pacing.There were some neat bits of editing when the lead had visions of the past, but nothing strong enough to outshine the clumsy script.

ok, we all remember "piranha," and the sequel. and we remember the triumphantly average "battle beyond the stars." and we've all at one point or another, tuned in to some really bad Roger Corman movie late at night... and maybe we don't even know who Roger Corman is, but we've all seen at some point in time, one of his many horrible 'B' movies. and of course, we all understand that these movies are somewhat meant to be stupid. no story, no character development, and atrocious acting... and i reluctantly saw "Demon Slayer," expecting all of the above to once again stand true. but HARK, i was surprised beyond belief to see that this movie was in fact pretty damn good. (albeit a corman film...) i'm not comparing this to anything but other corman films, in which case it deserves a 10!! no joke. it still has it's moments of 'B' movie plot-points. but overall, i think this newcomer, "James Cotten," (who apparently wrote and directed it) is going to be big someday. in my opinion, if this movie gets distributed correctly, and advertised correctly, it could become an underground cult-classic. (a-la, evil dead, evil dead II, and army of darkness...)good job guys! oh, and the sound design was truly stand-outish. very slick work.

For a movie of this type, filmed with the budget allowed, I found this movie to be very entertaining with a good story line and very good acting. It kept your interest throughout with enough comedy to keep your interest and enough intrigue to keep you wondering what would happen next. Congratulations to the cast and crew.
