Demon Messenger

About This Movie

Demon Messenger is a curious blend of ecological horror and indigenous folklore, set against the backdrop of the Marcellus shale gas conflict. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer as the farming family grapples with their choices. It weaves a sense of dread throughout, enhanced by practical effects that give physicality to the lurking menace. The performances feel grounded, capturing the desperation and internal strife amidst external chaos. What sets it apart is the way it intertwines the theme of land rights with horror, making you think as much as it frightens. It’s not just about the demon; it’s about what people will do for money and the consequences that follow.
