Demon opened in Poland on 16 October 2015 distributed by Kino Świat.
The story of the Polish horror film is based on a motif of a ghost or dybbuk coming back from the afterworld to intervene in the affairs of the living. The topic has a long tradition in the Polish art, especially in theatre. The contemporary take on the dybbuk tale finds the spirit inhabiting the body of a young groom during his wedding festivities.
