Neill Blomkamp hasn’t made a feature film since 2015 with Chappie. The story of the robot that made its own decisions did not finish with either the critics or the public. We do not know if it was because of that disappointment, but it is now when 6 years later he launches the trailer of what will be his new movie, Demonic. His previous installment Elysium did not meet all the expectations (perhaps too high) of District 9, the debut film with 2 Oscar nominations. Demonic is a production that wants to return to its origins with a lower-budget production, shot in the middle of a pandemic. Not that horror is his genre par excellence, but rather science fiction and surely, this story is a kind of “patch” to that Alien project that he was going to direct and that did not come out. The cast includes Carly Pope, Chris William Martin and Michael Rogers. Their short official synopsis tells of a young woman who unleashes terrible demons when supernatural forces emerge in a decades-old gap between mother and daughter. True to form, Neill Blomkamp told Entertainment Weekly: “The main character is a girl who has been separated from her mother. During the course of the movie, he reunites with his mother and we learn about a crazy backstory that she was unaware of. I’d say it has a cross between sci-fi and horror. ”The director also spoke of the need to shoot something“ smaller, ”influenced by some great low-budget horror film hits:“ Living here in this area a little bit more rural, I was thinking we should self-finance so we can do something cool. I’ve been really interested in movies like Paranormal Activity for a long time so we started working on this concept.This grew and became bigger than movies like that, “concluded the director. The trailer in question is terrifying and is recorded in a very particular way, one of those in which low budget is not a problem, rather it is a opportunity to bring out all the talent that the South African director has. Demoniac will premiere on digital platforms on August 20.
