}}The Demon's Rook is a 2013 independent fantasy-horror film and the directorial debut of James Sizemore (who is also known under the pseudonym of Loup'Rah Garomore).[1] The film had its world premiere on July 27, 2013 at the Fantasia Film Festival and stars Sizemore as Roscoe, a young man that must find a way to stop demons from overtaking the world. Funding for The Demon's Rook was partially received through crowdsourcing websites Kickstarter and Indiegogo.[2][3]

Synopsis

When he was a child Roscoe (James Sizemore and Emmett Eckert) was frequently visited by Dimwos (John Chatham), an elder demon, at night. One day Dimwos lures Roscoe into a portal that takes him to a strange world where Dimwos teaches Roscoe various things, including his ancient language. Dimwos withholds nothing from Roscoe, save one single secret that ends up becoming Roscoe's downfall, when he releases three deadly demons. Roscoe manages to flee by crossing back through the portal to the human world, but ends up taking the three demons with him. Once back in the human world, Roscoe recollects his previous human existence and the childhood friend he left behind, Eva (Ashleigh Jo Sizemore and Grace Kilgore), who has grown into a beautiful woman. This all causes conflict within Roscoe, as this clashes with what Dimwos had led him to believe. Now Roscoe must track down the three demons and battle them into submission while also trying to deal with the evil they're unleashing on the unsuspecting world.
