What a beautiful movie!
This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I simply love this movie, not only because it was the first DVD I bought in the year 2001 but also because the idea of the movie is great.When watching the movie, you don't know what's going to happen next. Some movies are quite predictable but this one isn't. There is so much going on with the Dr. Harry Ballard (Karl Urban). The trouble for Harry Ballard starts when he receives a video from Satanists.After that many things are happening and his only hope is the pretty and mysterious Benny. Is she a guardian angel in this dark and mysterious world, or is she just insane? Perhaps she is even something scarier? Harry risk losing everything during his quest for answers because he is about to uncover the truth . . . the irrefutable truth about demons.
I was up late one night watching Sci-Fi and I stumbled upon this flick. I recommend it if you want to see some wild make up ideas and a bit of...fantasy, mostly involving anatomy. i.e. someone ripping your heart out and it miraculously being back in your chest. How's that possible? Go watch the movie and hopefully you won't be disappointed. I do however believe that it probably could of been put together better but that's not necessarily my judging. It's something that will make you think if you believe in such things of the sort, heaven and hell most of all. But then again, isn't anything possible? It's all a matter of faith and being naive enough to see a demon chasing you. I'd watch it again, out of pure boredom most likely.
Kind of a cross between Constantine/Hellblazer and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. A decent take on the urban mysticism sub-genre of horror. The acting is all pretty decent, especially for low budget, with the notable exception of the actor who plays his friend with way too much b-movie gusto.The film definitely has an urban New Zealand vibe, and while not as over-the-top as the works of Peter Jackson, it certainly has a quirkiness that wouldn't be seen in a major studio release.I also appreciate that the film isn't dumbed down for mass consumption. There's a couple of cases of the main character vocalizing an idea the viewer should have just realized, but these aren't terribly forced nor obnoxious. Urban's portrayal of a man forced to accept or deny a reality he doesn't believe in makes it work.Overall, the movie suffers from too much drag as they try to spook us, but there are a few interesting twists and turns here and there. Worth a look, especially for fans of Karl Urban, who really lets his accent show.
We all know more or less what to expect when announced a horror movie coming either from Australia or New Zealand. B-series, in that wonderful 1970's tradition, have survived only there. In the case of THE IRREFUTABLE TRUTH ABOUT DEMONS, modern technologies and punk imagery have caught up with the genre. I would say it is worth seeing, it has not lost its raw horror spirit, even if updated into nothing really new.
