Frightening Trailer for Neil Blomkamp's Horror Thriller DEMONIC
Neil Blomkamp, the director of District 9 and Elysium, has made a horror film! The film is titled Demonic, and he secretly shot the film during the pandemic. The first trailer for Demonic has been released, and this movie looks like it’s going to a wild and terrifying ride! The film looks scary as hell, and I can’t wait to see it!
The story follows a young woman who “unleashes terrifying demons when supernatural forces at the root of a decades old rift between mother and daughter are ruthlessly revealed in this horror-thriller.”
I love that Blomkamp made a horror film. He’s mostly known for his crazy sci-fi movies, but it’s awesome to see him branching out into another genre and trying new things. It looks like succeeded it in making something that will scare the crap out of audiences. There are certainly a lot of cool, fun, and unique moments in this trailer!
When talking about the project, Blomkamp told EW, "Living out here in this slightly more rural area I was thinking we should self-finance something so that we could make something cool. For a long time, I've been really interested in films like Paranormal Activity, and lower budget stuff that is pretty terrifying, and so we just started working on this concept."
This is the result. IFC Midnight will release Demonic in select US theaters on August 20th, then on VOD starting August 27th. Check out the trailer!
