Verdict on Demon Behind the Glass

Demon Behind the Glass is a horror thriller following a journalist who uncovers a bigger mystery. It sees him needing to team up with a stranger to uncover the truth about the new home he rents. However, what he finds seeing him fighting an evil he never expected to find.

This movie takes the demonic possession idea in a different direction. It shows the idea of trapping a demon, but letting it grow and become more dangerous, while it finds a way to stay alive. This plays into reputations causing problems while bringing to life an unusual evil in the story. It has effects which play into an evil that is consuming and steps away from having a religious battle for control. This becomes an entertaining horror, that can be enjoyed through a late-night horror session.

Final ThoughtsDemon Behind the Glass is a fun late-night horror movie.
