The demon strikes a tall and intimidating figure, walks on two legs, and brandishes two terrifyingly clawed hands, all of it topped with the head of a black bird, his beak arcing into a long, sharp point. The avian demon of Demonic took the form of a half-bird, half-man, a humanoid combination that is frequently seen in mythology, such as the deity Thoth from the Egyptian pantheon. With Neill Blomkamp having movies like Chappie and Elysium under his belt, audiences were ultimately underwhelmed by his foray into horror.
The bird demon is one of the film's only saving graces, providing some of the only truly eerie scenes throughout Demonic.

While the movie had a lot of potential, it frequently moved from one storyline to another, never lingering long enough to fully develop any one idea between the possessed VR technology, the black-ops team from the Vatican, and the horrifying bird demon. When the demonic spirit follows her home and threatens the life of her best friend, it's up to Carly and Martin to put an end to the diabolical spirit for good. But when Carly agrees to speak to her comatose mother through a simulation program, she inadvertently releases the demonic bird spirit that had been possessing her mother for years, compelling her to commit heinous acts. Martin tried to warn Carly that he believed Angela was possessed, but Carly brushed the possession theory off as a hoax. When Carly's friend, Martin (Chris William Martin), informs her Angela is in a coma, Carly decides to visit in an attempt to get some answers and be done with her mother once and for all. Demonic follows the story of a woman named Carly (Carly Pope) as she tries to navigate her complicated relationship with her mother, Angela (Nathalie Boltt).
