There are so many different types of movies in the horror section, that they could easily be further divided into other headings. You have classic scary horror flicks like Poltergeist, The Exorcist, and The Shining, for those who enjoy heart pumping terror. You have slasher horror movies, such as Chainsaw Massacre, Scream, and Candyman, which are definitely not my cuppa tea, but a lot of folks evidently enjoy them. Then there are the "horror" films that keep you enthralled with their mysterious plots and twists, brilliant writing and performances, and a few unexpected jolts, ala The Sixth Sense, The Others, and Misery. While their scream factor is hardly comparable to true horrors, such as "It", they are by far my favorite kind of film entertainment. Not everyone wants to see teenagers getting picked off at a remote cabin, nor body parts being severed and strewn about like tree limbs.
It was the humor that I loved about this movie. Sorry About The Demon is described as "Comedy/Horror", so if the reviewers here were disappointed that is wasn't scarier, they should have just passed on it. For me, it was wholly refreshing to watch a character refuse to cower in fear, but instead stand up to the demon. And not just flip the proverbial bird (figuratively speaking) to the squatter from Hell, but to do so with an innocent nonchalance. Will is an utterly charming jack-of-all-trades who bakes cakes, and multi-tasks between his customer service job and altercations with ghosts.
So, for me, the ghosts' failure to evict Will, and the protagonist's deadpan attitude, is what made the movie enjoyable. I did not watch it for the demonic theatrics and slime. In fact, I was hoping the sprinklers would turn on and alleviate the ick factor.
