Demon Lover Diary is a masterclass of what NOT to do in filmmaking, and a scathing and anxiety-inducing snapshot of a troubled production that proves reality is sometimes better than fiction. Go to Full Review

Jeff K. @JeffKreines Dec 29 Brilliant and pioneering. Ahead of its time. See more 10/27/2011 An insightful, hilarious, and slightly terrifying documentary precursor to American Movie. This looks into the minds of a bunch of psycho filmmakers, including the maniac Donald G. Jackson (Roller Blade), as they make The Demon Lover. If you are into filmmaking or the horror genre this is required viewing. "They're shooting at us!!" See more 10/30/2010 I would have liked a little more footage of the actual "Demon Lover" film, but the behind the scenes shenanigans were mostly compelling. I love how Joel DeMott was completely extraneous to the production and seemed snarky/suspicious from day one - the movie had plenty of problems on its own, but having a passive aggressive documentarian around to record your failings probably didn't lighten the mood much. See more 09/22/2010 C+ = Slightly above average See more 12/16/2008 Watch along with the masterpiece, The Demon Lover, to see all the hard work and incompetence that went into making that masterpiece. In the filmmaker's defense though, it had to be a drag having these documentarians on your team when they think the movie is such a joke. It almost makes it forgivable that the filmmaker's chased them off the set firing Ted Nugent's guns. See more Read all reviews
