That was an excellent one.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Blistering performances.

This 1985 horror film mainly takes place in a movie theatre where a group of people are screening a new horror film about demons. One of the viewers, tries on a mask prop from the film causing demonic possession like in the film. Soon, others become demons bringing gory terror for the rest struggling to survive. Despite bad dubbing, this is a pretty good flick with great, gruesome make-up effects. Fans of the genre should check this out at least once.

This is tacky Italian horror. It is one of the better Italian horror films although still sat down near the bottom of films in general. It just suffers badly from a god-awful production value. It also felt like they just shot as much as possible and then botched a film together with their footage. The scripting is terrible. On the plus side it is nice and gory. Not particularly engaging. At times it was comical and at others dull. If it wasn't gory then this would be totally pointless. Mercifully fast pacing holds attention.

This movie stuck with me from my first viewing as a 14 year old, purely through it's originality of style and setting. Even as a 14 year old I thought it was good stuff, and it stuck in my memory. Watching it again at 45 years old I was pleasantly surprised at how much enjoyment I got. It hits the tone perfectly in many departments and things that should work against it only make it more fun. For example, I have never thought it a good idea to use heavy metal in a horror film as most end credits of 90/00's horror movies do - but the use of it here works. The awful script, ropey acting, heavy metal music just make it all the more campy and entertaining. When the first demon appears with green foam exploding from her mouth, I couldn't stop laughing, as with most of the gore splatterfest scenes that followed. I'm not sure if this was intentional or whether it's just dated but whatever, it's funny as hell, and in a good way that does not ruin the film. The difference between the gore in this movie and modern horrors is that this is all done with such a sense of humour that it never becomes too sick or gross. It just looks like they had a great time with as much blood and guts as they could. The European feel to the film, the locations, including some seriously contrasting 80's red and blue lighting just adds to the campness and the 80's atmosphere, while still leaving the film to be atmospheric and creepy without going into total comedy. The shots of demons approaching with glowing eyes with bright light behind them, or as they approach from the back of the cinema or at the bottom of staircases is creepy as hell, and the use of the cinema space and it's claustrophobia is well done. There are some things that don't make sense but you can easily bypass it and enjoy the story. If there is a weakness, I'd say the middle third of the story when they are all trapped inside can start to wear slightly thin, but at an hour and a half it doesn't labour too long. A delight for horror fans, who like a funny, eerie, well made splatterfest with a difference

Plenty of blood the acting is bad the soundtrack is beyond epic, you have demons with blood dripping from there mouths blisters when popped ooze a thick green liquid a horrific transformation from human to demon and a scene that contains a samurai sword a motorbike and a pounding 80s metal riff courtesy of German band accept, this movie is all the best things the 80s had to offer in 1 film.With its singular flaw that being the acting and to be honest its not really that bad Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava have crafted a superb horror film, Demons is a film i would recommend to anyone who is up for a fun horror film.a special thanks to the audio god claudio simonetti without him this movie would not be as good
