Plots(1)
Chaos descends upon a quiet town when Roscoe, the pupil of a wizard monk from an ancient race of demons, unknowingly opens a portal that allows an unspeakable evil to travel freely into our world. When three grisly beasts cross into our dimension, the living are possessed and the dead rise to destroy everything in their path. Armed with demons' magic, Roscoe is the only fighting chance to put an end to their eternal path of destruction. An ode to the DIY creature-feature classics of the 1980's, THE DEMON'S ROOK is a "gut-flinging monster mash" (Dread Central) that you won't soon forget. (Tribeca Film)

The Demon’s Rook is seemingly just an episodic presentation of homemade but professional-looking masks and gore effects strung together to come up with a feature-length runtime and interwoven with the standard ills of amateur productions (those nice-looking but self-indulgent camera compositions with spiderwebs). From the very first scenes, however, The Demon’s Rook enthrals viewers with its unhinged atmosphere and deranged narrative. As a result, the film comes across as a completely bizarre and irrational project by the neo-hippie married couple James Sizemore and Ashleigh Jo Sizemore, which is captivating due not only to the backstory of its creation, but also to its deliriously complex and evidently rather seriously intended mythology. 7/10
