Where the heck is this thing playing?


Nowhere to be found in theaters on release week or this week, not on iTunes or Amazon yet.

C'mon....with such great reviews and captivating trailers I expected it to be available. Help if you can, as us horror fans are drowning in formulaic stuff at the box office.

I just saw it in Albany, NY. Right now it's in these cities...

I saw it today at the Uptown in Minneapolis. Hope it expands your way soon. It's a terrific, haunting, atmospheric film with much to chew on. I'm going to check this board daily until some threads pop up that elucidate it. I wouldn't go in expecting straight horror, though. Not to say that it's without a prevailing sense of eeriness!

Oh, the sorrow of living in the middle of nowhere, for Minneapolis is a 3+ hour drive for me, yet that's the nearest theater playing this film.

I agree with the other commenter; us fans are desperately awaiting this one, have been for too long, it seems! I understand the unfortunate setbacks, though. This one And "Under the Shadow," which is a week away! Squeeeee!
And not horror per se, but horror in a tense, atmospheric, psychologically haunting kind of way, yes?

reply

Bingo! Think Polanski (fellow compatriot of the country Demon hails from). The film's black comedy and distinct subtext are also reminiscent of RP.

Damn shame about the director. He had a magic eye and a real voice. It's impossible not to view Demon in an elegiac light with the foreknowledge of his passing.

reply

Ooh, now I'm just that more anxious to see this with the comparison to Polanski, also helps give me a feel for it. One of my all time favorites is Rosemary's Baby; showing so little of the scariest component of the film, leaving things to the imagination can be and is sometimes more effective, which is what I love about the Rosemary's Baby. Our own mind and where it can be lead to with proper plot and direction can be the scariest thing of all.

Someone else on this board mentioned Wrona's untimely death, I believe the post is titled "Creepy," and drew comparisons with the film and his last days. Eerie indeed. Life imitating art?

Just bought the polish dvd. The description said it had English subs, so I´m keeping my fingers crossed!

Just getting back to this board now, just wanna say -
Appreciate everyone's comments here. Definitely NOT the standard horror we usually see in the states. Perhaps the biggest surprise was the quality of the performances.
