Sex Gore Mutants Reviews DEMON RESURRECTION

In his review of DEMON RESURRECTION, Stuart Willis of the UK's Sex Gore Mutants website has several nice things to say about the film. Some excerpts...

"A carefully paced, impressively escalated journey into gory zombie mayhem ... [with] some keen forays into worlds of the supernatural and inner-group paranoia....

When the gore comes, it's lurid and crusty - as is the undead make-up - and all the better for it.... There is, however, also style in evidence. Hopkins clearly has an eye for camp colour schemes, lending the film a theatrical element which brings to mind the cinema of Vincent Price in the late 60s and early 70s. The ageless theme of good versus evil gets a convincing ride out here too, a game cast and literate screenplay (making reference to Cthulhu, no less) both being too wise to sink into the mire that sullies most soulless modern horror efforts....

Even the violence, gory though it is (neck and belly stabbings, bloody births, zombie carnage) is so clearly fashioned on fantastical Italian horror films of yore that it too raises DEMON RESURRECTION above the torture-porn bores that account for 90% of today's entry level genre releases.... I maintain one thing: your appreciation of this fine film will rely heavily on your tolerance of its lo-fi aesthetics. Go with it."
