About This Movie

So, 'Battle of Demons' is this quirky fantasy from 2009 that really embraces that whole teenage angst vibe but with a supernatural twist. Asagiri Kanna's character is pretty relatable; she’s dealing with bullying and then gets thrown into this bizarre situation. The pacing has its moments where it drags a bit, but it builds this strange tension that works. The practical effects used for the demon transformations have a certain charm to them, not the slick CGI we see today. Kaki Kitou, the demon king, is portrayed in a way that makes you feel for him too, which is a nice touch. It’s not your typical love story, which sets it apart in a sea of similar films.
