“Demise,” A Latina Take on “Fatal Attraction,” A Guilty Sex Thriller Treat.

                                        By Laura Medina 


Nothing deep, nothing meaningful yet a guilty treat of an emotional rollercoaster of sexual thriller, according to a real triple threat of “Demise” movie director, producer, and screenwriter, Yara Estrada-Lowe.  Growing up, she’s always a fan of Eigthies and Ninties erotic thrillers.  But it’s 2024, with exploding Hispanic market, she thought it would it be nice to have a Latin spin on a love triangle and desire.  She did it with “Demise.”


Good looks and sensuality runs in the Mendez family. Eva Mendez’ half-brother, Carlo Mendez is an actor in his own right and long, established career.  Yes, he plays the cliche hot Latin lover, but in today’s “Demise,” he’s portrayed as a player who’s served with karma, both good and bad.  His character, Caleb, undergoes a real character journey riding life’s rollercoaster.


“Demise” is a contemporary erotic thriller set in present day with real, current, and common problems that majority of people deal with everyday, infertility affecting infidelity, revenge while rebounding, and desire versus jealousy.  Liz Fenning’s “Celine” is the woman done dirty by life, that this scribe does feel empathy for. 


In today’s life, every woman needs an objective gay buddy who sees it for what it is, to tell her what it is. This is where a strong supporting character comes, “Miguel” played by Morris Jude Martinez.  Being supporting to be supportive, never means being minor. 

Come February 27th, you can devour this sexy, erotic eye candy, “Demise” on Apple TV, so you can have something naughty while munching on your chocolate bonbons, French macarons, candy truffles, and toffees.  “Demise” is naughty, sexy treat.
