Demons Never Die

source: Demons Never Die

This is, without doubt, the worst film I have ever seen. The theme is exploitative. The direction is naive and witless. The script is clumsy and clichéd. The characterisations are superficial stereotypes. The soundtrack is dated. But for one or two exceptions, the performances would be more suited to a school nativity play. Fifteen minutes in, I had already lost any interest in the characters. Twenty minutes in and I couldn't watch any longer. This should be shown in film schools as an example of why you should never make films if you haven't even the germ of an original idea.

When a young girl takes her own life, Archie and the other Suicide Kids decide to follow her lead and form a pact. But as the group begin to die one by one, Archie realises that they have all become the target of a masked killer and that his commitment to death has become a terrifying fight for survival A battle to protect the girl he loves, and himself begins... First off, if you really lower your expectations before seeing this, it's not as bad as what many have said. Yes it's silly, and the ending and reveal of the killer make no sense at all, but there is something about the two leads that makes it very watchable. There is no real reason to have Tulisa in it's opening scene other to put bums on seats, as X-factor was well under way when this was released. Her role is just a rip off from Casey Becker in Scream, which was a huge mistake. Once we meet the central characters, the film picks up. They all have their own problems, but once a couple get killed off, they soon decide that they would rather live. There is a little sub plot regarding one of the group being famous and killing the rest of the group, but the character is really annoying and it just detracts from the rest of the film. And at times, you feel that the writers don't really bother about the rest of the cast and just focus on the two leads. Other minor criticisms are little ones like the extras at the party are terrible, Reggie Yates does not convince, and the soundtrack is just basically popular music of the year that has no connotation with the film or plot. Other than that, it's completely watchable stuff, referencing urban legend and Scream. and accept for the silly last reveal, its not bad at a all.

hello, this movie is totally worth watching it if you like horrors and slashers. i think i liked it because i like movies with murders such like Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Ghostface. so if you like them 2 you should watch this the end is totally different then you think it should be. the only things i didn't like so much was that there where not many kills and that the story is kind of weird. but i enjoyed watching this.i think there is also coming an second part because it has an open end. and if you think suicide is an strange subject for a movie don't watch this almost the whole movie they are talking about how they will kill themselves..... i hope you find this a good review greets Sven...and slasher fans you should watch this

All in all its not a good film, I saw the cast of this movie and had high hopes with the likes of Robert Sheehan, Ashley Walters and a few of the other British up-and-comers but i was very disappointed. I am also a fan of both slasher films and gritty English dramas. This movie however, fits in with all the clichés surrounding this genre and offers nothing in the way of originality. The plot is stupid to say the least and the soundtrack could just be 'NOW 78' or whatever. The only half decent thing was a few cases of good acting from Robert Sheehan (which we come to expect) and the girl who plays his girlfriend. I give this film a generous 5/10

This film has made me re-think my opinion of Vanilla Sky as a rubbish film. The reported budget of £1,000,000 is as far-fetched as the plot of the film. Even Tulisa appears to have devoted no more than her lunch break from X Factor judging by the amount of time she is in it. With a line up of up and coming actors and a producer in Idris Elba, one would be forgiven for thinking that we should be watching a bit more than an extended music promo, with no real plot and void of realism and direction. I am a fan of British low budget films, but with Demons Never Die they were trying far too hard to paper over the cracks using a superb sound track. Even if you don't expect very much from watching this film, you will still be disappointed. Buying the sound track on CD is a far better option.

I have given this a 7, and it was only just that over a 6. Well directed film, with a script that lacks in places but is good in others. The online chat was nicely shot, quirky and innovative, and should have been used more. Usually in Slashers or films with a hidden killer identity, I can pick out the killer. Demons never die, was NOT one of these films. the last few scenes were a bit annoying as first person night vision camera effect (eg. Blair Witch) annoys me, but it was a good all round film. I watched this as a random pick up, mainly for the appearance of Robert Sheehan, and because I had some time to kill, and it was definitely worth the watch. Give it a chance, it may surprise you.

I was really looking forward to this mainly because of the presence of Robert Sheehan. Then as I sat through this mess It dawned on me that this was no Horror, In fact it was........a Rubbish drama with no plot, no substance and certainly no surprises. I don't know who would enjoy this film, certainly no one who was conned in to watching it based on the write up. I was tempted to add some spoilers to make my points, however that would raise more questions than answers as I didn't really understand the ending myself. So if you are curious wait until copies of the DVD are available from the bargain bins or charity shops, believe me you won't have long to wait.

i really enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it,its slightly like scream but a gritty,British version with very emotional scenes with the suicidal teens,i don't wanna spoil too much but i can say there is a lot of twist and turns,you should definitely watch if you enjoyed kidulthood or scream!!!the acting is very well done and there are a few funny scenes which make you chuckle and also loads of gory scenes that are sure to please you gorehounds out there,overall its a dramatic horror movie which I'm sure you will enjoy as long as your into that sought of thing,I'm sure the movie can relate to many teens over england but i am also certain adults will like this one!!
