The film centers on two young girls who go to a brutal zombie movie and begin to notice happenings in theater mirroring the action on screen. Soon half of the audience have been turned into blood thirsty zombies forcing the remaining patrons to defend themselves from the unholy beasts. Stylish gory bleakly funny and reminiscent of George A. Romero's films DEMONS is a hugely entertaining horror movie. Argento also produced and Bava son of the legendary Mario Bava (BLACK SUNDAY) directed.System Requirements:Running Time: 88 mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: NR UPC: 013131486995 Manufacturer No: DV14869 Amazon.com: Lamberto Bava, son of the Italian horror legend and giallo godfather Mario Bava, teamed up with modern master Dario Argento (cowriter and producer) for this slick gorefest, a triumph of style and special effects over movie logic. Set in a refurbished German movie palace, our hapless soon-to-be victims arrive for a sneak preview of a horror movie only to see the gore unfold in the audience, as well as onscreen. While the exposition remains murky, one patron finds that an infected cut leads to a gooey transformation, and every one of her victims follows suit until the snaggle-toothed monsters outnumber the humans. The survivors, trapped in the tomb of a theater, must fend off attacks à la George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Borrowing liberally from films such as Dawn of the Dead and The Tingler, Demons also anticipates Scream in its cinema-savvy references, not to mention its undeniably Neve Campbell-ish heroine. The blaring heavy-metal-hard-rock soundtrack and the carnival horror-house atmosphere helps remind us that this is all just stupid fun. Despite the overwhelming body count, excessive gore, and rivers of green demon pus, the cartoonishly grotesque killings avoid the sadistic edge of many Italian horror films. By the climax of the film the premise is long forgotten in a ghoul apocalypse, but who's watching this for the story anyway? --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Kind of a let down, but still okIt's about what you would expect from a 1980s European horror movie. The movie is dubbed, the acting is bad and there are continuity problems that are pretty funny. One scene, a girl has a pony tail and a second later she doesn't. There is another scene where a dead person has their eyes open and then the next time you see the person a moment later, the eyes have closed (not because they were supposed to, but an obvious blooper). The dub acting was so bad, whoever was talking for the black guy reminded ...

Now, twenty years later, this movie is caught in an 80s time capsule which is actually what gives it it's charm. Demons is more adventure and suspense with gory horror elements and plenty of goofy characters. It could be the Love Boat of gorefests (though set in a weird Germanic theater and redhead replacing hostess Julie). As with most classic Italian ... Read More Rating: - Old-school metal, bloody gore, and funky characters...the Italians have a way with horror!"Demons" is a 1986 zombie horror movie that features the work of both Lamberto Bava (son of Mario Bava), and the Italian Horror Granddaddy himself, Dario Argento! It's got the unique "movie in a movie" concept, where people in a movie theater are watching a horror movie, but the movie eerily turns them into flesh-tearing, blood-drinking demonic zombies! Oh baby! Now, let's be honest, this movie is quite on the cheesy side. The budding romance seen between the two main guy characters and two main girl ... Read More Rating:  - One of the top horror movies everI recommend this product to every horror fan. It's Classic. I cannot say it's a best horror ever, but very decent. Rating: - A good scare"Demons" is very similar to "Evil Dead" in its sense of claustrophobia and impending dread, and makes for a fun Saturday-night guilty pleasure. Entirely enjoyable, and more frightening than I remember from seeing it in the theater. |
