At the age of just 29, Neill Blomkamp had the cinematic world at his feet when his feature-length directorial debut District 9 won widespread acclaim from critics and audiences, earned $210 million at the box office on a $30 million budget, and landed four Academy Award nominations including Best Picture.
Since then, it would be an understatement to say the filmmaker hasn’t come close to reaching the heights of his first film. Elysium and Chappie revisited many of the same themes as District 9 to greatly diminished effect, leading to a lengthy sabbatical from the big screen that lasted for six years, but Demonic was the opposite of a return to form.
