13 Demons (2016 Video)
Not for Everyone

This is a unique film for a unique audience. The concept is right up my alley because I play board games, I like fantasy stuff, and I read D&D novels.

Mixing in the board game with a horror film is also something I enjoy. I can't think of many films that do that. If you like Beyond the Gates like me, then this is worth taking a look, I enjoyed both films very much because they are not your typical Hollywood films.

To enjoy this film you got to be able to enjoy Troma and Full Moon type movies. If not, don't even try it.

Reviewers seemed to complain that in Beyond The Gates there was not enough actual board gaming. This film on the other hand has lots of board gaming, it was very interesting, made me want to play a similar board game! Definitely one that doesn't posses you!

I thought that the dialog written is clever and fortunately I had subtitles to make sure not miss anything. The delivery by the actors were good too, I just didn't know whether to laugh or cringe, the film puts you in that awkward place where it's serious, but funny but serious.

The only real complaint I have about the film was when they went to the other world in their minds, the way it was filmed was seizure inducing.

Overall I enjoyed this unique film, glad I saw it!
