Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I kept watching it hoping, thinking that the scares were only a scene away, they never came. If you could die from boredom, I would be. Save yourself the pain of death-by-boredom, and pass this one up.

Writer/director Ian Merrick's DEMON WITHIN is full of such gaping plot holes and inconsistent motivations that it ends up being nothing more than a mishmash of derivative horror cliches. Jeff Fahey, usually a sturdy presence in films, is outrageously awful in the role of Matthew Dobie, who has obviously been both a priest and a stage actor of "great" renown? Katie Wright as our heroine, Sarah, seems to be psychic as she manages to create busts of the murder victims. And somewhere out of the clear blue sky, her professor (Patrick Bauchau) decides she's the target of an Incubus..and his enlightenment comes from a crossword puzzle. Where did he even consider this? The one good thing is the musical score, which combines techno pop with choral vocals reminiscent of THE OMEN. But, that's it....this is coherent, ultimately boring and an ending that comes as a total downer.
