'The Demons' DVD Review

There is trouble in Montreal. A string of kidnappings have occurred and it is the talk of the town. A young ten year old boy by the name of Félix (Edouard Tremblay-Grenier) is scared about it all. The school year is about to end and Félix has a very vivid imagination. He also is very sensitive and impressionable. He lives in one of the suburbs of Montreal so he’s not exactly right in the middle of everything.

Félix is also scared that his mother Claire (Pascale Bussieres) and father Marc (Laurent Lucas) are going to break up. His mother and father can have some serious arguments and this bothers him when he witnesses them fighting. Félix also gets scared when his brother Francois (Vassili Schneider) talks with his friends about all the bad things that are happening to all the neighborhood children.

Félix is loved by both his brother Francois and sister Emmanuelle (Sarah Mottet). Félix confided to his sister that he thought he might have AIDS. You see this is the period where AIDS first appears and everybody gets freaked out. Emmanuelle ask Félix some questions and then tells him he is fine and not to worry. Félix is simply growing up and is becoming of age to be a teenager.

Director Philippe Lesage is responsible for 'The Demons' and the later film 'Genese' which has Félix once again as an older teenager. Growing up is not so simple as it use to be. Thus films like these are
beneficial in ways that sometime people miss the signs of the young as they grow up.

Film Movement brings this wonderful film to DVD on November 19th, 2019. The quality of the DVD is fantastic and the sights and sounds are excellent. This will make a wonderful addition to your personal library and it will also make an excellent gift to that someone special this holiday season.
