udar55 Psychic charlatan Remy Grilliard (Edward Albert) gets nervous when his latest rich old lady victim decides to bring real psychic Alexander Harris (Dirk Benedict) to a weekend séance. Hoping to outsmart Harris, Remy digs up an obscure ancient ritual that, to his dismay, succeeds in resurrecting the spirit of Asmodeus. Naturally angry at being awoken, the demon pledges to kill everyone before dawn (or by the credits on this 72 minute feature) by using their vices against them. Not much going on here outside of your standard monster and T&A routine. Filmed in Zimbabwe, I guess I could recommend it for Benedict's eye-popping performance. Seriously, he looks like he got zapped with a cattle prod before each line delivery. Or maybe his surprised look comes from knowing he had hit this low in his career? Keeping the A-TEAM connection alive, the VHS has a trailer for WOMAN WITH A PAST (1992) starring Dwight Schultz at the beginning of it.
Backlash007 Demon Keeper is exactly what you expect after taking one look at the box art: Cheesy and mindless entertainment. Roger Corman's producing this one so you know it's on the cheap. The monster make-up proves this. The guy in the demon suit looks bad and they insist on overly lighting his scenes. Had they hid the monster in some shadows it might not have looked half-bad. However, no amount of lighting could help the acting in this film. The only names you'll find here are Edward Albert (who recently passed away) and Dirk "Starbuck" Benedict. Benedict really shocked me with his awful performance. I think he knew the movie was going to bad and phoned it in. So you have to give credit to Albert; at least he tried. He seemed to be the only actor who cared. To no avail though because Demon Keeper is still a bad B-movie and nothing could have changed that. The bright side is that the film was just over an hour so the torture is short. Sadly, this is still better than the sort of crap their unleashing on the direct-to-DVD market today.
nipperoshea When I rented this movie I was about 14 years old and me and a few buddies had rented it with several other "B" horror movies one Halloween.My honest opinion of this movie. BAD. We were turned off within the first 20 minutes by the terrible plot, acting and, well, basically, everything else. Although it has been several years, I still remember wondering how any film could be worse.My advice, DO NOT see this movie. If you're looking for a bloody horror movie stick with the Return of the Living Dead series, or for a funnier spin, Braindead (aka Dead Alive). If you want something that will scare you, I personally recommend movies of the style of The Amityville Horror (both the original and the remake), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original or remake, but not sequels) or The Exorcist. For a good serial killer movie, the Halloween series or Nightmare on Elm Street series are good.
hndaciviccrxlove This movie is not worth seeing. I am generally an open minded person, and always willing to try movies that aren't always popular, however, this movie is terrible! The plot probably didn't take a lot of thought. Guys may possibly* like this movie because of the women without tops but even then there isn't anything remotely interesting about this film. Why did I even bother renting it ? Bottom line - DON'T SEE IT!
