Blue Demon (2014) User Reviews

Disappointingly Boring & All Over the Place

[Oskar_ · 4/10 · 10 September 2020]

Even the movie does know if it has a story. Actors are just bleak. There's random "running while carrying a go pro" camera used to give a sense of Blair Witchesque feeling but because of the actors/actresses expressionless performances seems annoying. Movie has little run-time but still tries to make the story complex.

Story quality was so bad I thought about the fact that a fan-made Youtube movie will be better than this and have more passion while having close connection to the source material.

The only thing I "can" like is Ao Oni (Blue Demon) even though we see it for less than 3 minutes I like the design.

Ending really made no sense. I feel as if I watched the movie in reverse my enjoyment will increase. If you have an itch for more Ao Oni content after playing the game you can watch this.

This movie is like the game- Horrible

This movie as a whole is bad, they only kept the main cast from the game and one singular puzzle and that's it. Other than that, the plot is everywhere all at once, and even the characters deaths are not even aligned with the game lore. The characters in the game had a dry personality and it carries into this movie a small bit. And the scene at the very beginning of that dude getting hit by a truck was completely unnecessary, the two mcs could've met differently and the plot wouldn't even change a bit. The twist that the dev character being dead was a good plot point because unlike the game, he knew and guided Anna around, helping solve puzzles. In the game you had none of that, you either need a walkthrough or already have played the game to know what you're doing. As much as I love the RPG Maker horror game genre, this alog with the game was really really bad.

Not A Terrible Film, Actually

This movie (despite it all being in Japanese) was pretty cool. I like the design of the creature, and the characters were pretty cool too. However, I found the movie to be a tad boring in some parts, and it needs more appearances of the creature. Also, the plot twist at the end just doesn't work. Still a fun movie, based on an amazing game. I quite liked the chase scenes. The characters did make some poor choices at times, such as when the one character just hid in the closet (resulting in death), and another hid in the worst place possible (also resulting in death), Also, there is a scene where you see that one of the characters is actually a murderer, which just isn't true to the franchise. Other than that, it was a fun movie, don't know if I'll watch it again, but I do want to see the sequel, which is supposed to have a release this summer.

Great movie, same goes for its sequel and the games

Well, great work again NoProps, I have tried your Ao Oni series, consisting of Ao Oni, Ao Oni 2,Ao Oni 3 and movies including Ao Oni, Ao Oni version 2.0/Ao Oni 2;they're all 10/10 man like you are a godly programmer, you create so great Japanese horror games and movies, this movie definitely doesn't deserve 4/10 which is its rating now, it deserves an 8 atleast, for me it is a perfect 10. This is like one of the best movies I have ever seen, despite it being only an hour long, I enjoyed every second of it and this is definitely worth the watch. Also the review above says it is boring, well I respect your opinion but honestly it is not boring, the ambience, chases and music are all great and infact it is better than the game at some points.

Great movie, just as the game is

Well I am a huge fan of the ao oni series and its fan games and all, the movie is great too with lots of blood, action and is similar to the game at some points. I am excited to watch the sequel as well. I have watched this movie 3-4 times and I only love the whole ao oni franchise more, Ao Oni 1,2,3 are all excellent with remakes and fan games like Ao Oni R, Kuro Oni, Kagame Oni, Nira Oni, Class Oni and many more. NoProps has made great games and movies for this franchise, this is a great gem to the japanese horror games community, this movie is definitely worth a watch, it is very underrated.
