DEMONIC: Trailer for James Wan-Produced Horror Film
James Wan has created some of the best horror movies of the last 10 years. The first full trailer for Demonic was released today, and it leans pretty heavy on Wan's name as writer and producer. This is the second film from director Will Canon, who is not mentioned in the trailer. The synopsis is pretty simple: "A police officer and a psychologist investigate the deaths of five people who were killed while trying to summon ghosts." With a "story by" credit from Wan, odds are it's going to be a well-plotted script. The movie has a bit of a found footage vibe without relying on it to tell the story. My favorite part of the trailer - aside from the floating blood - is the infrared camera.
Demonic stars Maria Bello as Dr. Elizabeth Klein and Frank Grillo as Detective Mark Lewis. The movie also features an ensemble of "victims/missing" people played by Cody Horn, Dustin Milligan, Megan Park, Scott Mechlowicz, and Aaron Yoo.
Originally set for a release last September, Demonic was pushed back to this year. No new official date has been announced. I hope the push back was for a better spot and not because the movie sucks.
