The premise
Bruce is a repairman tormented by a crippling sense of responsibility for his disabled wife Samantha, an ex-policewoman. Bruce’s increasing hypersensitivity to the injustice suffered by his wife steers him down a dark path of vigilantism. His disintegrating mental health, paranoia and overwhelming sense of doom causes Bruce to channel his rage towards a young woman.
Horror Vault's take
A blue-collar repairman's devotion to his injured wife curdles into something far more dangerous as his grip on reality loosens and his rage seeks a target. The Demolisher is a grim, intimate character study that traces the terrifying logic of a man convinced he is righteous. Anchored by a raw lead performance, the film builds an oppressive atmosphere of paranoia and inevitability. A young woman becomes entangled in the fallout of one man's unraveling, with nowhere safe to turn.
