Forest of the Damned (known in the United States as Johannes Roberts' Demonic) is a 2005 British horror feature film directed by Johannes Roberts.

Plot

Five friends have a car accident and fall into the clutches of fallen angels who first seduce their victims and then kill them. A deadly battle of seduction, fear, and blood consumes the group as these angels have an insatiable appetite for human flesh.

Cast

Release

The film premiered on 13 May 2005 at the Cannes Film Festival and was released in the UK on 26 November 2005.

Reception

Jon Condit from Dread Central gave the film a score of 2.5 out of 5, stating that the film's director "took something worthy of praise and ruined it with too much added showiness that degrades it into nothing more than another sub-par horror flick".[1] Film Threat criticized the film's "paper-thin characters", grating soundtrack, and visual style.[2]

Sequel

Forest of the Damned 2, directed by Ernest Riera, was released in 2008. Eleanor James and Marysia Kay reprise their roles as bloodthirsty fallen angels.
