Will have exploitation and horror fans foaming at the mouth in delight: Horrorscreams reviews DEMON RESURRECTION

Read HorrorScreams Review of DEMON RESURRECTION here.

Next month it'll be 13 years since we started shooting DEMON RESURRECTION, and even after all this time, the film still occasionally gets new reviews – and mostly good ones, I'm happy to say. The latest is from film critic Peter 'Witchfinder' Hopkins (no relation to me, or to the 17th century witchfinder, I assume), who recently gave our film a very nice write-up on his HORRORSCREAMS review site.

Peter gives DEMON RESURRECTION three out of four stars and writes that the film "will have many an exploitation and horror fan foaming at the mouth in delight."  It shows, he says, "what can be done with a modest budget and a hard working team."  The full review can be read here: http://www.horrorscreamsvideovault.co.uk/2017/08/film-review-demon-resurrection-2008.html

In his review, Peter also mentions my first film, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, which gives me the opportunity to pass along a bit of news. As we're coming up on the 18th anniversary of that film's production, Frank Cilla, my frequent cohort, is working toward getting it reissued on DVD. He's tasked me with the job of remastering the film for the new release and I'm hoping it will be the best presentation of SLEEPLESS NIGHTS to date. I'll keep you posted on that project's progress in the weeks to come.

My sincere thanks to Peter for all his kind words. I encourage everyone to visit his excellent HORRORSCREAMS review site and like its page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HorrorscreamsVideovault

DEMON RESURRECTION - Now in 1080 HD & Widescreen

While it may seem more appropriate for Halloween viewing, DEMON RESURRECTION does involve the birth of a rather unusual child so it might be okay for Christmas too. There's no frankincense or myrrh, or herald angels singing, but there is plenty of blood and slime and shrieks of horror in the night, which to many, myself included, is distinctly preferable. 

So I'm happy to be able to announce on this Christmas Day, 2016, the official release of the the newly remastered 1080 HD Widescreen edition of DEMON RESURRECTION, an upgrade which I think represents by far the best presentation of the film to date.

The deluxe package is available online for rental and purchase worldwide, and includes:

– The new 1080 HD Widescreen presentation

– The Standard Definition/Standard Screen (4x3) presentation

– Optional Spanish and English subtitles

– All extras from the 2010 DVD release, plus several new supplementary features, all in HD.

– Director's commentary track from the 2010 DVD release

– Poster art

– MP3 of the film's score

Best of all, the film can be GIFTED, so if you haven't completed your holiday shopping yet, you now have a new option. And, as we all know, nothing spreads Yuletide cheer better than gory horror movies. 

Happy Holidays to all : )

A Demon Resurrection Anniversary...

I didn't want September to slip away without acknowledging a certain anniversary...

Eleven years ago, in September of 2004, in a little house in St. James, Long Island, Frank Cilla, Edward Wheeler and I had the pleasure of working with a talented group of young people in the production of the film, DEMON RESURRECTION.

For the members of the DEMON RESURRECTION cast and crew, I'm sure 2004 must seem like a very long time ago. And, as the years that have passed since have been filled with change and growth as families were raised and careers were pursued, those few days spent working on a little low-budget horror film in a house overlooking Long Island Sound are now probably little more than a distant memory. But distant though it may be, I hope it's also a pleasant memory. It is for me.

I wanted to take the opportunity to offer my sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the film what it is. I also want to thank the reviewers who had such kind words for the film and the many fans who offered their enthusiastic support.

For those interested in taking a trip down memory lane, the complete 2004 DEMON RESURRECTION Production Blog, which includes dozens of candid, behind the scenes photos and videos can be found here:

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 : )

Dr. Carnage says DEMON RESURRECTION is "indie horror at it's finest..."

Another excellent review for DEMON RESURRECTION. This one from horror aficionado Doctor Dani Carnage on his World of Horror website. Some excerpts:

"Demon Resurrection is a beautiful homage to horror both from the seventies and eighties, filled with nudity, blood, gore, voodoo and zombies, for something with a very small budget, something very good has come out of it....

Because the film is so ambitious, it works wonders that other indie films simply can't compete with. I never failed to be amazed just what this movie had to offer it's viewers....

Being a horror fan for such a long time, I tend to think I have seen it all, and nothing can take me by surprise anymore, but movies such as Demon Resurrection prove me wrong and make me sit up and take note. This is indie horror at it's finest. Who needs a big budget when a film is this good? This really does put ninety-nine percent of Hollywood horror releases to shame with it's involving story, exploitation elements and downright creepy atmosphere. This really does deserve to be seen."

Dani's great knowledge of and enthusiasm for the horror genre is evident in all of his writing. He's definitely someone who knows what he's talking about when it comes to horror, so it's tremendously gratifying to receive such an extraordinarily thoughtful and generous review from him. For all his kind words, he has my sincere thanks.

"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.

Celluloid Terror Reviews DEMON RESURRECTION

Horror film enthusiast Seth Poulin reviews the DEMON RESURRECTION Special Edition DVD on his Celluloid Terror show. Some excerpts:

"A fun, somewhat sleazy and graphic independent horror film.... A really entertaining flick, I think a lot of you guys are gonna dig this. It's gonna be a pleasant surprise for a lot of you. It was for me. I enjoyed it while drinking some beers and I had a good night with it.... The whole movie kind of feels like it's out of the 70s... paying homage to the more exploitative horror films of the 70s.... You're gonna see nudity, you're gonna see blood and gore, it's gonna be a fun time.... Check this one out guys, I think you'll enjoy it."

Thanks for the kind words, Seth. Glad you liked the film : )
