The resident critic at Beasts in Human Skin, a website devoted to grindhouse/exploitation fare, recently turned his attention to DEMON RESURRECTION and had some nice things to say about the film. Some excerpts:
Demon Resurrection is different. First of all, it’s not an ’80s slasher clone. It’s more like an Italian zombie flick from the 1970s with Satanic cults, supernatural forces and creeping undead….It has a slower pace (in a good way) interlaced with frantic, chaotic moments of gratuitous gore. In some ways it reminds me of Lucio Fulci’s films. It’s like if Fulci was told to rewrite and direct Rosemary’s Baby and he was like, “Screw this exploration of the psychological torment and transformation of the demon-child’s mother crap. This shit needs zombies and titties and blood.” …and I would agree.Demon Resurrection is a surprisingly solid supernatural horror. Director William Hopkins is to be commended for creating a true homage to the horror movies of the past instead of some shitty, campy retro-slasher. What he has managed to resurrect… is a good, old-fashioned horror movie full of gore and boobies, which are two things that I like very much. It’s an impressive piece of amateur film making. This is only Hopkins’ second film, and I sincerely hope we see more from him in the future.
