Alicia I love this movie so much
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
be-my-penguin I admit that when I first saw the advert for it, I wasn't amazingly impressed. But decided to watch it regardless. I ended up loving it, it has it's flaws as most British television does but I really liked it. Of course the main actor is gorgeous with a love interest... which is admittedly cliché. The story lines could be slightly improved or whatever and maybe the special effects aren't amazing, but it's honestly worth watching. Bit of an anti climax at the end if you ask me, and they haven't QUITE got got the tension building techniques down to perfection. Galvin also can occasionally get on your nerves, however Thrip is perfectly cast.
nate878 The series has a fairly unique look but ultimately follows the same cliché progression as other dark-fantasy vigilante type shows that have aired before. The main difference being that the acting is mostly sub-standard and the characters are hardly compelling - aside from the villainous freaks. Despite all this, it has potential as its loosely determined universe of "freaks" has the potential to yield some interesting plot scenarios as the Dr. Who universe did. As another plus, the series' cheesiness can be comical if you can let yourself go for a moment.Hopefully as the series progresses it will enter into more gray territory with the nature of the "freaks" being explored and what appears to be a dark past behind some of the protagonists.
whatever_kath So Demons is watchable. But not a lot more. I cannot say that I'm a fan. It's alright if you want some light action for the evening. Philip Glenister is a good actor, but by having a very poor American accent you can't tell. Many of the other performances are good, but what they are performing isn't. Ruby's character is perhaps one of the most annoying I have ever encountered. I feel sure we are supposed to be drawn in by what happened in the past of the older characters but I find myself actively not caring. When it comes out that actually the death of Luke's dad was all Galvin's fault I won't be surprised and I feel not many other viewers will either. It's very predictable.The show doesn't explain what can and cannot be done, it doesn't show how you "grade" things, or why only certain people can "smite" them. Which were also, by the way, a bad naming decisions. It's not witty and it's not funny.
ringofhether When I initially saw this I thought awww God : Another vampire slaying series then I thought FOR FAMILIES. The first episode was one big setup with Phillip Glenister sporting a decidedly dodgy American accent and the whole thing being entertaining. The second episode showed an improvement but was still an anticlimax with the monster only being on screen for a few minutes, whilst Richard Wilson's turn as Father Simeon showed his superb acting ability. Episode three picked up and was by far better than its predecessors. Kevin Mcnally was fantastic as Mr Tibbs although his screen Time was disappointing. OVerall It was enjoyable.
