Analysis:
Demon a novel concept in horror genre and it’s welcome. But better execution would have made a world of difference.
The film’s pacing is a significant issue. However, this latter part of the story begins to captivate the audience and there are some chilling moments too.
Sachin skillfully conveys his character’s growing desperation and terror. The film keeps viewers on the edge of their seats during the second half.
Despite its flaws, Demon has some redeeming qualities. The film’s premise is intriguing, and Sachin’s performance is commendable. The film also features some effective scares, particularly in the second half.
