Director Neill Blomkamp on Making Demonic

Neill Blomkamp is well-known for films like District 9 and when he chose to make a movie like Demonic, many were curious about where the idea came from. Speaking about this, he said, “The idea came from a very unusual and weird process. Because of COVID, I wanted to create something we could put together ourselves and make since everything else seemed to be on hold. I’ve always wanted to make my own small horror film.”

“I love Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch Project so the film was partly inspired by those. But I also wanted to incorporate other elements, like volumetric capture, which looks like the simulation effects in the movie. When you combine demonic possession or horror tropes with virtual reality, the film becomes a merging of those two concepts. That’s how the idea arose,” he added.
