Introduction
"The Irrefutable Truth About Demons" is a 2000 New Zealand scary film directed by Glenn Standring, starring Karl Urban, Katie Wolfe, and Jonathon Hendry. The film's plot focuses on a series of mysterious deaths and an anthropology teacher who becomes knotted in the ominous world of demonic belongings and ancient rituals. The movie's plot is a mix of suspense and supernatural scary, which keeps the audiences on the edge of their seats.

Plot Summary
The motion picture begins with the unexpected death of the sis of anthropology teacher Harry Ballard (Karl Urban) under strange situations. Stunned and dismayed, Harry goes back to his sibling's home, where he gets a package containing a video and a book on demonology. In addition to the tape, Harry finds a cryptic message suggesting that his sister was deeply embedded in the occult and may have been killed as an outcome.

While watching the video, Harry experiences what appears to be a devil. This encounter leads him to question whether the supernatural undoubtedly exists or if he's merely losing his mind. Harry discovers himself ending up being significantly consumed with uncovering the fact about devils and their connection to his sister's death. In the wake of his sis's bizarre demise, he is plunged into the dark and troubling world of demonic possession and ancient routines.

Harry's fixation takes a hazardous turn when his investigation leads him to cross paths with a secret and powerful cult led by the enigmatic and charismatic Michael Carrington (Jonathon Hendry). Carrington reveals to Harry that they are in fact, guardians of an ancient devil, whose release could cause untold mayhem and destruction to the world. The cult has carried out secret rites and ceremonies for centuries, ensuring that the demon remains inactive and not able to damage mankind.

Benedict- The Female Lead and Love Interest
Harry's look for responses draws the attention of the enigmatic and strong-willed Benedict (Katie Wolfe), who seems the only person able to help him browse the dark and mystical world he is now entrenched in. Though she is at first depicted as an atrocious character, Benedict's true intentions are revealed later in the film, indicating she is more of a tragic anti-hero.

As Harry and Benedict end up being closer, their romantic entanglements blur the lines between good and evil. Their relationship complicates the movie's story and presses them to make difficult choices that might potentially ward off the hazardous cult and the demonic forces that threaten to destroy everything they hold dear.

Unwinding the Demonic Conspiracy
As the chilling conspiracy starts to unwind, Harry needs to face his own individual fears and suspicion while fighting the malevolent forces at work. Matters become even more made complex when the authorities implicate Harry of numerous ruthless murders that have been committed as his own investigations continue.

The police, led by the unrelenting Inspector Samuels (Sally Stockwell), are unaware that the real culprits behind these gruesome criminal offenses are the demonic entities that Harry and Benedict are working to stop. With their lives in jeopardy and time going out, the pair must expose the cult and eliminate the demonic forces at last.

Conclusion
"The Irrefutable Truth About Demons" is a thrilling and suspenseful scary movie that looks into the world of demonic ownership, ancient rituals, and the dark underbelly of society. The complex and often blurred lines in between great and wicked, and reality and fantasy, create an engaging and horrible world that captivates audiences from start to finish.

Karl Urban delivers a gripping efficiency as the anguished and obsessive Harry, while the supporting cast, consisting of Katie Wolfe's mysterious and effective Benedict, creates a detailed web of relationships that sustain the film's suspenseful narrative. The movie's chilling atmosphere, paired with its haunting visuals and spine-tingling soundtrack, make "The Irrefutable Truth About Demons" a must-see for fans of supernatural scary and suspense.
