The Wolfman Cometh

A campy horror classic that's only elevated by its Halloween setting.

Rated: 3/5

Practical effects reign supreme in Kevin S. Tenney's slight but fun Halloween bash.

Not a lot of character or plot, but Night of the Demons is a really fun time with some stylish direction and great FX. Perfect for Halloween and both Angela and Suzanne are icons.

Rated: 3.5/5

Film Frenzy

This is too silly to generate any semblance of unsettling atmosphere, but the monster makeup is effective.

Rated: 2.5/4

Fat Guys at the Movies

Classic 80s slasher styles work in this possession film, playing off the sex, drugs, and rock & roll scares of its era.

Rated: 2.5/4

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Combustible Celluloid

It's willfully preposterous, featuring a band of characters that would never, ever actually be friends in real life, and heading out into the night to do something so dumb that it's inconceivable.

Rated: 3/4

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Laughably bad effects and terrible writing might put off some viewers, but true genre fans can tolerate these awful campy horror movies of the 80s. I suggest skipping this one if you’re looking for something worth your time.

I think this was a disappointing take on the demon/zombie survival with lackluster scares and some really goofy situations. I think I'd skip this honestly if you're looking for more than a time waster.

If you like '80s horror movies, you should check this one out. I grew up in the '80s, and I don't know how I missed seeing this one. Definitely recommend it.
