There’s a broad tone to the jokes and performances that skews corny. But the central comic premise is a hoot; and the movie has an unexpectedly philosophical dimension.

Playing to its strength of slapstick style qualities, it manages to avoid veering into the cringy, instead being a delightfully straightforward and thoroughly entertaining story

This horror comedy drags in the middle and skimps on scares. But the humor and a likable lead make it worth a look.

There's something lovely about Emily Hagins' style of humor that includes of wisp of childlike practicality in the arrested development of her adult characters and her latest bridges that comic horror gateway for all ages.

3/5

There’s very little horror to a lot of comedy, and even the supposedly spooky parts fail at being scary. But if you’re willing to forgo the horror and enjoy a campy little flick with ghosts and demons, this is the film for you.

This is a film that lacks direction and conviction—though not in a bad way. It slouches towards hell with such demonic inadequacy that it’s hard to not be charmed.

Sorry About the Demon is a light comedy set within a dark concept. Will, the protagonist and his band of friends are likable enough to carry the movie through a bunch of flat jokes and one dimensional conflicts.

This was a fun film! The lead character was so charming, the premise hilarious. It was a fun watch.

Will moves to a new home after being dumped by his neglected girlfriend. The new place is infested with a demon who demands a new vessel. And so the torment begins! This comedy/horror movie falls short of laughs and jump scares are almost inexistent.

If you want a good zombie comedy watch "Little Monsters" (2019). It's not the greatest, but it's better than this one. Or "Zombieland" or "Warm Bodies". There are plenty of others that are actually good. This one is a dud. Pretty bad. Lazy. Stupid. Skip if you can.

It was a great movie, I felt like it was way too long, and the actor who plays the dad of the family who owns the house kind of ruined the ending.
