Demonic Ending Explained - Did Carly Kill Demon?

Directed by Neill Blomkamp and distributed by VVS Films, Demonic is a horror movie shot during the pandemic. It stars Carly Pope in the lead role while Chris William Martin, Michael Rogers, and Terry Chen provide support roles. The movie explores the themes of dreams and connects them to demonic presence.

The movie upon its release didn’t receive much positive reception. It tries to mix the elements of Inception along with some horror strings but it got horribly wrong (no pun intended). In any case, for a casual horror flick, the movie could be a good one-time watch.

The ending of the movie wasn’t anything mind-boggling. The protagonist, Carly found the resolution to her mother and things ended on a positive note for her. Let’s talk about the Demonic ending explained and discuss it.

Demonic Plot

So the plot of the movie introduces us to Carly, who visits her childhood home only to get reception from her mom who sets the house on fire. Thankfully, for her, this was just a nightmare. Later on, she meets Martin who informs her about her mother being kept at a medical facility.

We learn about Therapol, an organization that possesses some high-tech capable of simulating people’s minds. They ask Carly to enter her mother’s brain where she learns the presence of a demon inside of her.

How did the demon get inside? Well apparently, the house of her mother was built on haunted grounds. Also according to Marin, Therapol is one of the groups assigned by the church to exorcise these demons. So what does happen to her mother?
