Leo Brady AMovieGuy.com Where Demons had an ending that reminded me of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, Demons II seems unsure of where to take the characters. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy More of the same, albeit with more narrative sloppiness and a change in venue. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Anton Bitel VODzilla.co like its predecessor, this sequel, with its weird stylisations, is almost a study in inauthenticity - but that is not out of keeping with a film where reality warps and fiction comes to life. Oct 6, 2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy The level of "why the heck not?" enthusiasm that Bava and Argento evidently sank into this second chapter is addictive in the same way that a sugar rush can be. Rated: 6/10 Oct 31, 2011 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an even less interesting piece of work than its mediocre predecessor... Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 12, 2007 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Director Lamberto Bava and co-writer Dario Argento keep things just this side of ludicrous and the result is gory fun. Oct 11, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

brad p A similar feature sets the stage for the you-knew-it-was-coming Demons 2 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I love both demons 1 and demons 2 movie and big 👍 and big like Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review marco b Zombie-like demons come out of a TV and start attacking people trapped in a high-rise apartment building. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review tom k Silly and atrocious acting, but great jump scares and practical effects! Who will survive? What happens next? Definitely one to watch in the dark! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Anyone who was hoping for a follow-up to 1985's Demons is gonna be sorely disappointed. What Demons 2 actually is, is Demons again, but in a different location. While they were busy repeating everything that the first movie did again, at least they remembered to copy the drug-taking punk kids in the car outside too, 'cause that was my favourite group in the first film, and now I get them twice. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I was thoroughly disappointed with this film. Demons 2 offers nothing new to the Demons universe, and I'm honestly shocked that the tomatometer is the same for the 1st one (as I'm writing this review). Besides the change in location and characters, watching Demons 2 feels like I'm watching the 1st one all over again. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
