Just in time for Halloween, Dekanalog is resurrecting one of underground horror’s strangest and most unforgettable visions. James Sizemore’s The Demon’s Rook — a fever dream of demons, gore, and DIY ingenuity — arrives on Blu-ray, giving fans a chance to experience this cult gem like never before.
A standout in the world of low-budget splatter, The Demon’s Rook is unlike anything you’ve seen. Imagine Lucio Fulci colliding with ‘80s creature features, then filtered through a surreal, lo-fi lens. The result is a mind-bending horror/fantasy epic where a boy named Roscoe, raised by a good demon in a parallel dimension, returns to Earth as a Christ-like figure—only to unleash chaos when three malevolent demons follow in his wake.
What follows is a blood-soaked odyssey of marauding ghouls, fog-drenched nightmares, and head-popping supernatural battles. Sizemore, pulling triple duty as writer, director, and lead actor, delivers a hallucinatory experience powered by hand-crafted effects, amateur passion, and a defiantly indie spirit. Backed by Ultra 8 producers Colin Geddes and Katarina Gligorijevic, the result is polished yet raw—a perfect example of outsider cinema gone gloriously off the rails.
The Demon’s Rook is Return of the Living Dead by way of Jodorowsky—a surreal, splatter-soaked odyssey that proves DIY horror is alive and well.
From foggy graveyards to neon-soaked showdowns, The Demon’s Rook is a cult oddity that deserves a place on your shelf.
