Film Freak Central

Setting a horror movie in a cinema is nothing new, of course, but I like how the moviegoers in Lamberto Bava’s Demons–these marks, these fools–have been sucked into the freak tent without even having been mesmerized there by an able barker.

Rated: 2.5/4

Cinema Crazed

Everything eventually comes together in this ballet of violence and zombie gore. Sure, the story is a bit derivative, but it works and its fun, so it’s easy to just go with it.

The Blu Spot

Using its basic template of people trapped in a theater with the titular creatures, it's able to utilize its wild makeup effects & ridiculous story elements to great effect to deliver a highly-entertaining, over-the-top horror experience.

Rated: 3.5/5

A gleefully over-the-top splatterfest that is one of that decade’s best genre films...

The Wolfman Cometh

The premise itself is enough to excite a horror fan, only for the nightmarish narrative to both honor core elements of zombie movies while also reinventing everything audiences might expect from the mythology.

Rated: 4/5

This is a review for demons 5 (La mascherra del demonio )My new favorite film involving possession, they completely nailed the atmosphere, and vibe. Ive never been more anxious watching a group of teenagers in peril, and I've got a new favorite witch from this flick.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Evil Dead fans rejoice. Delivers early and often on gory action and great period practical effects. Killer soundtrack brings it all together for a fun fast paced zombie/demon survival romp.

Demons is one of those movies which is 'so bad, it's good...'... or, in my opinion, 'so bad, it's good at being so bad...'. Yes, it's a 'classic', but gee it's a hard watch. Absolutely woeful dialogue and acting, in amongst some slightly entertaining and gory action sequences. Probably has to be watched to make up your own mind... at least it's not overly long, so its little time wasted. Oh... and there's an equally 'fantastic' sequel if you don't get enough from this film...

A fun, pointless, and maniacal mid 80's gore fest. In other words, awesome!
