Jan Strydom KILLING ARIEL is very bizarre and has a somewhat dark sense of humor, you might thing looking at the cover art you'll get a horror film but instead its more of a dark horror comedy, think of it as a film called VERY BAD THINGS (starring Cameron Diaz) then add a little dose of THE EVIL DEAD and that sums up what you could expect from this film.The acting was great, I have to complement the cast of unknowns in this film (or I've just never seen them before) for giving above par performances, the storyline is weird, plainly put.Side note, if you want to check this out go for it but its not everyone's cup of orange juice so its best you go in not expecting a horror film if that's what you want to see.

frog663 Was this supposed to be a comedy? An interesting premise, I suppose, but it played out like a second rate sitcom. Plus, far too little was shown of the "actual" demon, and far too much shown of the Jack Nicholson wanna-be in the lead. Seems the filmmakers spent a lot of time and make-up trying to film him from angles that would accentuate whatever bare resemblance he might have with Nicholson, though, in the early going, he reminded me more of Michael Keaton than anything else. Facially, in both cases...never talent-wise.I will say that I did come away with one positive from this film. Axelle Grelet is definitely easy on the eyes and did a credible job with what she was given. I definitely would like to see some of her other work. Aside from her, though, there really isn't much I can recommend here. Watchable once, perhaps, but nothing I would want to see again.

Thimmy Lindwall In the start i didn't know if this was a good movie, i was like "what the hell, ill take a peek" And oh my god, this scared the hell out of me!I loved this movie, it beat "1408" with miles, its not the same "kind" but it is frightening from the start to the end. I say this, Best Horror movie this year, and gonna be hard beating this. And i would love if they do more of these psychological thrillers/horror movies comes, smarter and scarier.The movie starts when the main character is a boy, sitting in his dark childhood room, and the parents screaming outside in the livingroom. He hears a shotgun go off. He lights a candle and opens the door, there stand his mom with the dead father, she turns to the boy and shots herself with the shotgun. then the demon reveals himself for the first time, after the both parents are dead.Years later, he is older, and its his time to encounter this demon. The fright in this is the continuing hell that the demon in this movie creates for him, how the demon never lets go off his mind, and really mind rape him from the start to the end.Watch this! you will love it!

joeln86 I saw this movie last night with an invited audience of about 100 people. It started out kind of serious and disturbing. There is a scene where a little boy sees his mother kill his father then herself. If that image doesn't disturb you, the boy gets horrified by a demon seconds later and hides in a closet to be found later by his grandfather. This all happened in the first five minutes of the movie!!!!! The story then jumps forward 25 years to the boy, now an adult, struggling, not with seeing his mother and father killed, but with the reality of his "normal" life. He then meets a young woman who he thought he would have an affair with but she turns him to focus on his tortured mind. The audience didn't know what they got themselves into. They were expecting Horror but got a David Lynch type thriller with all the dark humor and violence akin to the Lynch style. Good going guys!!!!
