Ben Nagy reviews ‘Demon Squad’: Hiney-Kicking Paranormal P.I. Fights Monsters in Mobile
Undoubtedly an instant Alabama drive-in classic, this one has a detective and his partner defanging demons and pursuing powerful occult artifacts
Check out this great, fun review of Demon Squad by Joe Bob Briggs’ resident reviewer Ben Nagy:
“Undoubtedly an instant Alabama drive-in classic..”
Smith, Lilley and his cohorts have something fun and creative going on in ‘bama. This flick has heart (some of it in a bucket on a mad scientist’s floor), world-building (they like Rick James in one of the local monster bars) and oh yeah, some slime flying and a dead butler getting tossed off a balcony, all on a limited budget.
Give Demon Squad three stars — half-star deduction because of the absence of garbonzas, plus a bit of inconsistency in the lighting and sound in a couple interior scenes. If they can cut down on the dialogue a bit while getting the camera moving a bit more, they’ll be on their way to four-star drive-in glopola classics and a position in the Pantheon of Alabama Filmmakers.”

What critics are saying:
“Demon Squad is a lot of fun, and could very easily be made into a series… The film is well written and funny. Check out this southern fried demon movie whenever you get the chance!” -Film Threat
"If you like private investigators, fantasy creatures, steampunk, and indie film, I would recommend watching Demon Squad." - Life Between Frames
"Demon Squad is a film noir with a dash of monsters and magic. If you’re looking for a comic book-style detective story with magic and demons, this one is definitely worth a look." - Horror Geek Life
"This is an enjoyable, lighthearted take on a couple of genres that are popular with movie geeks... I’d be happy to see Nick and Daisy return in the sequel the end hints at." - Voices from The Balcony
"Welcome to the wonderful world of horned demons, magical artifacts and witty humor! Demon Squad’s story and lore are fun." - Fitz of Horror

First Review of Demon Squad!
The first review for Demon Squad is out, and it’s a good one!
The first review for Demon Squad is out, and it’s a good one!
To sum up and paraphrase, for me a large part of what makes this film so much fun is that it’s story based rather than the plot revolving around wounds. While viscera are all well and good, it’s nice to follow a plot that is interesting in its own self.
