More darkness would mean just black frames throughout: "Demons" is the scariest samurai movie ever made.
In mesmerizing black and white images, at a slow pace, it tells a simple story of betrayal and revenge, in a traditional Japanese setting. But beware, once the abyss has opened, "Demons" goes all the way. It's a nightmare of pain and rage, put on film in the most elegant ways. Hauntingly beautiful and shockingly dark - masterclass cinema!
