I don't know what your specialty, but if you are directing or acting, I'd go with a short movie (2-3mins) instead of a demo reel.
On the other hand, if VFX is your thing, go right ahead!

My 2 cents: keep it short, but show enough of the clips so that your hard work is evident. Let the work "do the work" for you. No need to get fancy with crazy editing techniques or add-on FX. Be true to the source material, be true to your voice and it will show
You could even present it as you animated or you animating it? Maybe make a fun animated hand-drawn intro, w/ animated titles?
Put your fingerprint on it and, I think, folks will respond to not just your work, but YOU. We don't just sell our skills but we sell our personalities as well.
Show your range, and present as best as you can that you're comfortable within the diversity, that you could adapt to whatever style is asked of you. Your personality will come across in your work regardless.

Thanks Paper and PositiveFuture! I have oodles of effects I've collected, and a composer. However, there is a musical piece I've found (Attribution) which I may use.
