I feel that Dæmos Rising is better than a lot of Wilderness Years productions in some aspects for simply having a mostly clear plot, aided by sufficient exposition at good times in the story. However, I did not find the plot itself too interesting, and I never really felt too invested in the characters. There are some cool concepts, but I did feel that Dæmos Rising was trying a bit to hard to be "edgy" and occult, and not necessarily succeeding.

There are some questionable special effects in this, and not all of the acting is great.

The DVD has a behind the scenes documentary. This has some fun moments.
