Zisi's B-Movie Emporium Reviews DEMON RESURRECTION

Christopher Zisi, who reviews horror and exploitation films on his "Emporium for B Movies" blog, was good enough to take a look at DEMON RESURRECTION recently and had some nice things to say about the film. Some  excerpts:
An over-the-top, gory horror film... INSEMINOID meets THE DEVIL'S RAIN... Gore, nudity, disembowelment, a monster baby, and a neat Necronomicon-like book... a perfect movie for this blog.... 
William Hopkins' direction reminded me a bit of Lucio Fulci. In some ways, this film resembles that great Italian horror of the 70s and 80s... Not for the squeamish, DEMON RESURRECTION will deliver on scares, gore, and surprises. Ms. Golightly is terrific as a woman, seemingly defeated, who pulls it together to do anything she has to in order to save herself and her friends. Find this film and add it to your DVD collection.
My thanks to Christopher for his kind words and for bringing DEMON RESURRECTION to the attention of his readers.

Christopher's endorsement, coincidentally, comes just as DEMON RESURRECTION  debuts on YouTube. After getting over TEN MILLION views of the various clips on the DEMON RESURRECTION YouTube channel, the full film has now been made available for rental and purchase on the site.

Also, we're now able to accept FAN SUPPORT on the DEMON RESURRECTION channel.

Demon Resurrection is "a good, old-fashioned horror movie," says Beasts in Human Skin...



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.
My thanks to Beasts in Human Skin for the kind words. I also sincerely hope we see more from me in the future : )

"Demon Resurrection is just plain great," says KnifedinVenice.com...

DEMON RESURRECTION just received what may be its best review yet from writer and exploitation film expert David Louden (writing as John Baxter) on his blog, KnifedinVenice.com. It's a four star (or four pentagram) rave. Some excerpts:
"Part Fulci’s Zombi, part Night of the Living Dead, yet it has enough style, strength, confidence and composure to stand alone as an incredibly well constructed, not to mention enjoyable, piece of genre fiction...
The film has the look of classic horror without coming across as showy or forced... The set pieces... are not only extremely well choreographed but are also tightly shot, sharply performed and beautifully balanced.... A masterful demonstration of skill mixed with style and patience as the tension is allowed to build with the gradual turning of the screw....
There are some excellent performances on display, Will McDonald (as Toth) has a wonderful screen presence... Damian Ladd (as John) and Bashir Solebo (Denton) step up and deliver commanding, powerful performances... but the stand-out is Alexis Golightly... she’s a daring and gifted performer... a mesmerising display of talent and dedication....
Demon Resurrection is just plain great. Extremely well constructed, beautifully paced, superbly acted and hugely entertaining."
I've been a fan of David's "Knifed in Venice" blog for some time now and have always been impressed with the excellence of his writing and his extensive knowledge of exploitation cinema. So it's especially gratifying to have DEMON RESURRECTION receive such an enthusiastic endorsement from him. I'm sure everyone involved in the production greatly appreciates his kind words and he has my sincere thanks.

DEMON RESURRECTION is "a wild, trippy, B-movie, low-budget, cheesy wonderment..."

In his review of DEMON RESURRECTION, Abraham Phillips, resident critic at abucketofcorn.com, gives the film a very enthusiastic thumbs-up. Mr. Phillips obviously knows horror movies and his extensive knowledge makes his positive review that much more gratifying. I'm sure everyone involved with the film will be very happy. I know I am. Some excerpts:
"A horror film that I truly have fallen in love with… zombies, witchcraft, skeletons, cults, boobs…  amazing makeup and special effects… pure candy to the film buff and horror lover… a wild, trippy, B-movie, low-budget, cheesy wonderment… a great low-budget, drive-in, b-horror movie."

Thanks Abraham!

[Re]search My Trash Reviews DEMON RESURRECTION

I've been aware of Mike Haberfelner's (Re)search My Trash website for some years now and I've always read it with great interest, impressed by Mike's writing, his insight and his enthusiasm for genre films. So it's a special pleasure to see the great review of DEMON RESURRECTION that Mike recently posted on the site. Some excerpts:
"Demon Resurrection is a properly scary supernatural shocker very much in the tradition of Lucio Fulci's best zombie/demon-movies... though to be quite exact, Demon Resurrection does not come across as a boring hommage movie but a rather fresh effort to give its audiences a good scare or two, backed by a decent cast and nice practical effects work... genre fans with a touch of nostalgia will surely appreciate it."
Check out the full review here:

Thanks, Mike!
