Demonoid Spake Thus
Demonoid Spake Thus Demonoid picotent drew by the side, and coming to close, he spake thus: Do not dream of the beastly things, do not cover yourself in them nor trouble yourself with them, the error of the play was not wholly yours, nor are troubles of the night. in the sideways glance of time we dream Demonoid picotant spoke thus: It was ever thus so, ever thus so and so, or so-so, as the…

Movie Review | Demonoid (Zacarias, 1981)
Tumblr media
The fact is, people going into an R-rated ‘80s horror movie can expect two things with reasonable certainty: blood and gore, and T&A. Okay, that was four things. Violence and sex. That’s two things. Unless you’re keeping a running count, in which it’s six. But those are things that the opening scene of Demonoid delivers. We see a bunch of people in yellow hooded robes fighting each other. (The costumes look like if the KKK had a mishap on laundry day.) Turns out one of them is a lady, so the other two tear her robe open to reveal her breasts, and then lop off her hand and put it in a fancy hand-shaped box. (It’s not clear why they tore her robe open if they were just gonna lop off her hand, but whatever, I’m not complaining.) Now, I hope you got your fill of violence and sex with that one scene, because those are two things the movie never delivers on again. Okay, there’s a bit of blood here and there, but nowhere in the quantities the opening scene might have primed you for. As you can guess from the description, that opening scene is metal as fuck. The flashes of (presumably) the titular demonoid, seen in silhouette against a foggy background that the movie throws in during choice moments? Pretty metal too. The rest of the movie? About as metal as, I dunno, Air Supply? Seals and Crofts? Not very, is what I’m saying.
Now, after that opening scene, we flash forward to present day, when a husband and wife explorer team find that hand-shaped box in a mine and foolishly unleash its reign of terror into the world. The husband is played by Roy Jenson, who looks like he could play Jess Franco in a TV biopic, likely one without any nudity, so we’d get lots of scenes of him adjusting his zoom lens and maybe a few where he hugs the Lina Romay lookalike they hired. The wife is played by Samantha Eggar, who most will recognize as the stand-in for David Cronenberg’s crazy ex-wife in The Brood. Here she is not so crazy, but is certainly a welcome presence as she brings a certain level of class and poise to a movie about a killer hand. She’s also a welcome presence because she has nice marble-shaped eyes which come in handy during her many reaction shots, and sports terrific hats in a couple of scenes. Jenson doesn’t stick around too long in the movie (although not before he runs into Haji of Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! fame), so Eggar enlists the help of a priest played by Stuart Whitman, who brings an off-brand Father Karras energy to the role. (I know of Whitman because of his role in Guyana: Cult of the Damned, a movie I haven’t seen but is cited as the premier dictatorsploitation movie in Bill Landis’ Sleazoid Express. The only movie in the genre I’ve seen is Amin: The Rise and Fall, which is very boring but has a convincing Idi Amin in Joseph Olita. The most memorable scene has him boasting of his romantic prowess. "Let me tell you, I'm the world's greatest lover. They all want Amin! Right, baby?") It’s mentioned that the hand is trying to make it’s way to Eggar, but the decisions it makes don’t line up too clearly with that objective.
As I mentioned earlier, this is a movie about a killer hand, or rather, a series of killer hands as the spirit of the hand jumps from one host to the next. What this means is that we get a lot of hand-centric scenes of horror, like characters tearing off their hands with a car door or demanding emergency surgery at gunpoint to have their hand sliced off. (I assume the latter scene takes place at a clinic that specializes in hand surgery.) A lot of this is directed with the lowest energy imaginable, giving such scenes an amusing deadpan quality. There is however a car chase that the movie commits wholeheartedly to, blaring dramatic chase music (the wah wah pedal gets plenty of use), and the climax, set in a church with the lights turned down and a bit of a breeze coming in, is not without atmosphere. And it must be said that the hand effects look nicer than one might expect.
Listen, this is eighty minutes long and available in a nice transfer on Tubi. If you can get on its low wattage wavelength, you won’t miss those eighty minutes.
Thanks to  @thedrillerkiller​ for the recommendation!

Tribute to Demonoid aka The Messenger of Death!
Fun movie. Just trashy and scary enough for me. If you like the Exorcist and Jason Goes To Hell this movie is right up your alley. Amazing sound track too! Haji from Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill makes a cameo. I’m surprised there are so few gifs :( people must watch this movie!

Sombra, Envious Umbra- The Miserable One
Tumblr media
This persona design has been in concept stage since December ish- I haven’t been able to finish designing another alt eldritch form- Which is referred to as ‘’Death Marrow’’ at the moment.
Sombra is quite an enigma- I’m really frigging happy with his concept. All though due energy levels being floppy- and me thinking I’ll be retiring my old refsheet style for a while- I wasn’t able to put his design on my usual work. So I went to work on this chibi instead- it really helped. (The chibi base is a p2u by kariosa-adopts, which is a deviantart user.)
Lore Sombra, or Envious Umbra- is the eldritch child known otherwise as the ''miserable one'' He does not want to be perceived. His tattered wings represent how his body is in a constant state of agony. It's body is split in an asymmetrical set of traits, which both supposedly represent masculine and feminine traits. Despite this, he is essentially sexless but presents as male. In his split form he is known as Envious Umbra, but is capable of fully transitioning to one set of colors if he feels at peace- in the darker colors, he is simply known as Sombra. As the lighter colors, he still remains known as Umbra. This duality does not represent different personalities, but rather a state of being and sense of self. As the miserable one, he's worshipped from the shadows by cultists. He is feared for his power- the power of taking. He can ''take'' things away from his victims, but what he takes can be non-physical concepts, not just physical ones. If he notices someone near his vicinity, as Envious Umbra- He'll be hyper vigilant and screech with a sense of agony. Sombra is worshipped as a separate face by cultists- even though it is the same being in the same body. To cultists- he represents stillness, the peace in the dark. Most cultists aren't aware that all eldritch children are essentially facets or forms of the same being, not separate creatures.
There’s a bunch of concept art sketches I haven’t scanned in yet-  He’s still missing the back view- so in a sense the fullbody design isn’t entirely finished.
I did take the time to give him an icon so he doesn’t look weird on toyhouse with just the chibi.
Tumblr media
Heheh. I love expressions like this, that have a sense of ‘’i’m disgusted’’ or ‘’i feel awful’’ He’s looking at someone who happened to come across him. How unlucky for them.
Maybe I’ll make a new formal ‘’ask about my ocs’’ post later, but at this time I want to say: if you have questions about any of my oc in general you can plop them in my ask box- they help me with drawing fun stuff or doodles.
For now I’ll retreat and try to work on my webcomic some more.
