Rating: - Privileged to be a part of the fun
I was privileged to be one of the "independent" contributors to this movie/DVD. Demon turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined. It's not "Oscar"-worthy, but it was never meant to be. The movie definitely makes you think and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Jason and Garett both brought life to their roles in a marvelous and actually believable way. I may be biased due to my involvement, but I still think it's a really good movie and encourage open minds ... Read More
Rating: - A new and intriguing twist on the Ancient Vampire legend.
Demon Under Glass
Well, I won't use the sweeping phrase "best vampire movie I ever saw," but I will term this unheralded DVD the most interesting of the genre. Made possible by an entity called "Dragoncor/EarthDragon," the film-makers definitely put forth a lot of intellectual effort, and, in doing so, offset the underfunded production values with considerable success. Their cerebral approach? Attempting to attach intriguing scientific explanation to enduring ... Read More

"Vamp gets caught by nasty Gov and gets the lab-rat routine"
Sounds like Ho-hUM. WRONG. VERY (!!) well made and HIGH quality independant film, well acted and scripted. Nothing new, but presented so well, you will want to watch more than a few times, if not add to your collection. More psychological than scare tactics....but it's the hook that will keep you a fan of this film.
Rating: - Demon Under Glass is Dead On
This was no big-budget production. The cast and crew did not rely on special effects or large explosions. Instead they place their faith in stellar performances by the central cast and an interesting script with a new take on the vampire mythos. It works.
Demon Under Glass was a pleasant surprise. Thoughtful, fun, intelligent, and insightful ... it was a pleasure to watch. I only wish they'd filmed a sequel, because this film deserves one.

Rating: - NATURE OR NURTURE
Watching DEMON UNDER GLASS reminded me of the old soap opera DARK SHADOWS, only in that its filming was reminiscent of how they used to do that 70s series. But whereas SHADOWS opted for campiness, DEMON tries to take a serious look at how we might "capture" a vampire and use him to study his genetic makeup and just what makes him tick. The movie posits the question as to just who is the demon? The vampire Vlad or the scientists who would torture him to discover how quickly his regenerative powers work. ... Read More
