Demons

Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava co-wrote this horror film, a huge European hit upon release. 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.

    80's Cheese but great!!

    This was classic 80's cheese with bad clothing, bad soundtrack and bad acting but if you look past all that then this is a great film for any horror movie lovers. Packed with blood guts and gore it was good to see a film not over done with computer graphics as is now the norm but instead some well done make up and prostetics as was typical for its day.

    Not the greatest film by all means but a great alternative and an old classic!!

    For those that can appreciate the old way...

    Demons is good a movie for those that can appreciate the old “art” of making monster films without the use of much modern technology. Demons is one of those movies you wake up at 3AM and catch on TV and just get sucked into because it is different and not something you catch on TV everyday. It is a very creative (costumes) and original movie. I didn’t particular care for the rock music though (those Italians.. and their special ways of doing things).
