Review of Demigod

Demigod (2021)
3/10
Nordic Folk Horror
24 April 2023
Wrote this review 60 minutes into the movie. I couldn't make it through the whole thing.

This movie is not my preferred brand of horror, hence the low rating. It seems like Nordic Folk Horror based on the look and foreign language use in the film.

I found it boring and very slow. You finally get a glimpse of what's going on around 40 minutes into the film, and at this point I was pretty disappointed that it turned out to be a story that's been told a million times before and is in no way novel or scary.

The movie also has a few gory parts, which again is not my preferred kind of horror. It's just gross, not scary. There's also several scenes in the movie that would have been much more intense and creepy if it had been filmed at night instead of before dusk. Overall just felt kind of cheesy to me.

If you like movies about old folklore gods and movies that move super slowly, you may enjoy this film.
