While every Blomkamp movie since District 9 has been less and less well-received, here’s hoping that Demonic finds the filmmaker back on form.
“Neill Blomkamp exploded onto the filmmaking scene with District 9 and has made his mark by creating films that challenge and subvert the genre,” IFC Films president Arianna Bocco said.
Blomkamp filmed Demonic in British Columbia over the summer, with the movie reportedly set to feature “strong sci-fi/supernatural and VFX elements.”
After six years and several major near misses, including sequels to both Alien and RoboCop, director Neill Blomkamp is returning with Demonic, a supernatural thriller which IFC Midnight has now set for release on August 20.
