Enter the Realm of Demonic Realities

So, folks—buckle up. Last night, over a cozy cup of coffee while the autumn rains pattered just outside my window in Sverige, I watched *Demonic*. Now, this flick, from the creative mind of Neill Blomkamp (yes, the same guy who gave us *District 9*), is something else. But, you know, not always in the best way.

First things first: this film’s got a vibe. Stepping into the whole VR horror scene is bold, right? Almost like riding a höghastighetståg through a haunted, digital forest. Carly Pope, playing the lead, dives into the chilling tech-world to uncover family secrets. Remember that awkward family dinner at Midsommar when grandma brought up the “ancient curse”? It’s kinda like that but with more glitchy scares.

Now, here’s the thing. Blomkamp is a master of weaving socio-political drama into sci-fi, but here, the threads got a bit tangled. The plot feels murkier than a Midsommarnatt’s dream, leaving you questioning more than just what’s onscreen. And, seriously, where was the depth? I missed the kind of raw emotional punch we’re used to from this director.

A quick detour to memory lane—in 1997, I got lost in a corn maze with a VR headset, fully convinced I’d found a portal to another dimension. This movie? It kinda echoed that same sense of confusion and excitement but without any farm-fresh popcorn to soften the blow.

The visuals? Slicker than a thawing ice rink in Åre. But sometimes I felt like I was watching from behind a smeared window. Crisp but curiously detached, if you catch my drift.

In conclusion, (*Demonic* left me a bit torn. There’s potential buried in there beneath the digital rubble, but it might not be for everyone. If you’re into spooky tech and family secrets, give it a whirl. Otherwise, maybe save it for a rainier day.
