Review Date:

Age of Demons is a chaotic mix of low-fi visuals and comedic misfires, offering niche appeal with its punk-fu style and extensive Blu-ray features.

Age of Demons makes its Blu-ray debut with an AVC-encoded 1.34:1 presentation capturing its homegrown VHS origins. The HD transfer retains dirt, fuzz, and tracking lines, reflecting its retro nature without detracting from enjoyment. Primaries like reds pop against a backdrop of washed-out colors and surprising black levels.

Audio: 55

The 'Age of Demons' Blu-ray offers a 2.0 DTS-HD MA mix that balances a muddled dialogue with bass-driven music from The Gargolyles, though clarity is inconsistently sharp. Subtitles occasionally falter, losing sync mid-feature but realigning later, impacting accessibility despite the engaging audio dynamics.

Extra: 71

Offering a comprehensive dive into director Damon Foster's filmmaking journey, from early 8mm experiments to effects-laden, low-budget productions, the Blu-Ray extras encapsulate a trove of technical insights, raw footage, and a vivid portrayal of creative challenges, accompanied by insightful commentary.

Movie: 46

"Age of Demons" is a chaotic blend of Japanese sci-fi, martial arts, cult horror, and punk rock eccentricity, featuring sorceresses, demons, and robotics. Despite its low-budget shot-on-video style, the film offers inventive fight choreography influenced by Japanese TV and kaiju culture, making it an amusing, if not coherent, romp.
