Production
Zak Bagans, the host of Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures, wrote and directed Demon House, the second film he has made since 2004.[1] The film is based on the "mass hysteria" which surrounded the 2014 alleged demonic possession in Gary, Indiana of the Ammons family.[2][3]
Release
The film played in select theaters nationwide before its digital release on March 16, 2018.[4]
Critical response
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 43% based on 6 reviews and an average rating of 4.2/10.[5]
Steve Barton of Dread Central said the film was one of the "single most compelling documentaries on the existence of the supernatural that I've ever witnessed".[6]
Noel Murray, writing for the Los Angeles Times said of the film: "Zak Bagans' documentary Demon House is essentially an uncensored, overlong episode of his long-running Travel Channel series Ghost Adventures. And while this particular 'paranormal investigation' may terrify the more credulous among Bagans' fan base, skeptics are likely to feel bored and confused."[7]
