'Demonic': Release date, spoilers, plot and all about Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi horror flick
After taking a break of six long years, Neill Blomkamp is set to don the director’s hat for the upcoming horror movie ‘Demonic’. Blomkamp’s last feature film as director was ‘Chappie’ in 2005, which starred Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver, and Dev Patel in pivotal roles.
However, this time he has changed his part a bit. From making sci-fi movies like ‘Elysium’ and ‘District 9’, Blomkamp is not turning toward the horror genre. His upcoming movie, titled ‘Demonic’, revolves around a young woman who unleashes terrifying demons when supernatural forces at the root of a decades-old rift between mother and daughter are ruthlessly revealed.
