It opens lke a corporate thriller and i expect to see Michael Douglas pop out at any moment. then everything falls apart and it slips into a sureal world of violence and dark secrets. not a porn movie.

A multilayered meditation on the fast-blurring lines between fantasy and reality, and the seductive troika of money, power and sex. full review
Expect demonlover to become a midnight-movie staple in the coming years. And expect shards of it to roil your dreams for weeks. full review
I was struck by the complete lack of morality. full review
For all its smeared, trance-like beauty, Demonlover is a film determined to make no sense. As such, it's a rousing success. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Demonlover" !
