Don't listen to the negative reviews
Disturbing yet enthralling
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
View MoreI recently picked up Vinegar Syndromes release of 1990's Demon Wind. The cover to this release of the film is outstanding, a lenticular cover with a demon entering through a window, and though the demon on the front doesn't resemble any demon in the movie it is well worth it from a collectors point of view. I enjoy this film, it has everything one would love in a horror movie from this time frame, practical special effects, cheesy gore, oozing slimy demons. The few problems I have with Demon Wind are that the scenes of violence and action are few and far between, I find myself getting pretty bored waiting for the next instance of horror. The movie does have some pretty hilarious instances though that make me flash back to the horror comedy movies of the 80's and that helps this movie extremely, that being said it is no where near as good as some of those 1980's greats.For it technically being a 90's horror movie which for me is an immediate turn off being that I think that particular decade was weak for the genre, this is a fun B-movie that almost any horror fan would love and the 90's would have been much better if other films would have followed in this movies footsteps.Demon Wind has an 80's vibe to it that is awesome and even with its Evil Dead rip offs it's a fun watch. I would recommend to any fan of horror, especially those who bask in the glory of the 1980's classics.
View MoreI must readily agree with most of the comments posted for this film. Incredibly lame, yet the camp appeal just can't be denied. My particular favorites are the gruesome twosome companions and the young female ghost crying out "you're mine!".One question though about the demon wind fog effect - when they saw it coming, what would have happened if they had run to the trees and held on to them for dear life? Would the demon wind had been defeated? Or would the trees also had been transplanted? It would have been interesting to see if this theory had worked. I guess we won't know unless we can enjoy a Demon Wind 2.
View MoreI first saw this movie when I was about five and found it very scary. A few years ago I rented it thinking that it was still scary but instead I found myself busting a gut. I cannot believe this movie gave me nightmares for weeks. I think the most awesome part of this movie is when there is a naked woman outside the window but as the guy gets more tempted she turns into this disgusting demon thing. I hate to say it but I am a sucker for bad movies. I would not necessarily call this a bad movie, however as I have seen worse. If you are a horror fan or a deranged redneck from the hills of Arkansas this should really be your calling, all I can say is rent this mother.Cory J. McWuss
View MoreWhen a horror movie has the massive success like "The Evil Dead", copy cats are expected."Demon Wind" went too far and copied almost everything! from Raimi's cult classic. DW is mindless fun. Watch it if you like super low budget horror flicks. There are some gory moments that won't disgust you but will make you laugh. This flick is the perfect example of how plagiarism always fails. Probably if I wouldn't watched "The Evil Dead" before "Demon Wind" I would n't be that harsh with this cheapie but I had the luck to watch Raimi's work when I was very, very young.Don't watch "Demon Wind". Don't estimulate plagiarism.1/10. Cheap and sometimes fun but there are better late 80's - early 90's cheesy horror flicks.
