His career may have been on a downward trajectory since District 9, but there's no way Neill Blomkamp made a movie as shitty as Demonic. If he did (and I still haven't quite accepted that he did) there must be something more to it than meets the eye. On the surface it's a generic tale of demonic possession in which worn-out trope after worn-out trope competes to see which can elicit the biggest eye-roll. It's an acceptable parody of the genre until the realisation sets in that no it isn't, the film is just like this and no plot twist or revelation is coming to save it.
It's infuriating. None of the characters are fleshed out enough to care about, leaving the freewheeling mind to ponder such mysteries as "is that the botanist lad out of The Expanse?" (it is!) and "What on earth is Michael J Rogers doing in this.
