The first is definitely superior, but this isn’t bad and does feel like it is in the same universe, expanding the reach of the zombies and making them more a global issue. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

More of the same, albeit with more narrative sloppiness and a change in venue. Go to Full Review

6/10
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. Go to Full Review

...an even less interesting piece of work than its mediocre predecessor... Go to Full Review

Director Lamberto Bava and co-writer Dario Argento keep things just this side of ludicrous and the result is gory fun. Go to Full Review

Landon J @Minxsykitty 11/04/2024 I've seen people say the first is better, in my opinion this one really does everything the first does even better. Of course don't expect much in the way of exposition. However this really delivers on the predecessor's direction even better! Fun gory zombie action, one of the best of the genre. See more Craig B @Boundsy 10/18/2024 My review of Demons 2... yes, it's the same as its predecessor... Demons 2 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. Certainly no improvement on its predecessor.

Who will survive? What happens next? Definitely one to watch in the dark! See more 12/18/2019 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.
