THE DEMON

Cinemavixion Review

Percival Rubens' "The Demon" plunges viewers into a chilling descent of psychological horror, a rare gem from 1979 that continues to unsettle. The film masterfully weaves a narrative of escalating dread, where a mysterious assailant, identifiable by a signature razor-fingered glove, preys on the deepest fears of its victims. The premise, revolving around a missing girl and the subsequent manifestation of demonic presence and psychic terror, is executed with a palpable sense of paranoia. Jennifer Holmes, Cameron Mitchell, and Craig Gardner deliver performances that anchor the escalating hysteria, making the characters' descent into fear feel viscerally real. While perhaps not as widely celebrated as some of its contemporaries, "The Demon" offers a potent and atmospheric exploration of terror, proving that true horror often lies not in the monster, but in the vulnerability it exploits.
