My review was written in June 1990 after watching the movie on Fries Entertainment video cassette.
A routine actioner isn't helped by a dollop of the supernatural in the poorly titled "Demonstone", previously known as "Heartstone". Australian production shot in the Philippines opened in Nashville theaters in March and arrived in video stores a month later.
R. Lee Ermey gives an unfortunate carbon of his "Full Metal Jacket" drill instructor performance as a U. S. Marine colonel investigating serial killings for which soldier Pat Skipper has been accused. Jan-Michael Vincent is an ex-Marine with a grudge against some Filipino gangsters who help out Ermey in chasing around after Skipper escapes from custody.
Ludicrous plot twist has perky Nancy Everhard as a news hen who becomes possessed by a 500-year-old vengeful spirit when she gets a cursed medallion.
Vincent projects zero charisma in his walk-through and Ermey needs counseling to avoid such typecast nonsense.
