Lamberto Bava, son of the Italian horror legend and giallo godfather Mario Bava, teamed up with modern master Dario Argento (cowriter and producer) for this slick gorefest, a triumph of style and special effects over movie logic. Set in a refurbished German movie palace, our hapless soon-to-be victims arrive for a sneak preview of a horror movie only to see the gore unfold in the audience, as well as onscreen. While the exposition remains murky, one patron finds that an infected cut leads to a gooey transformation, and every one of her victims follows suit until the snaggle-toothed monsters outnumber the humans. The survivors, trapped in the tomb of a theater, must fend off attacks à la George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Borrowing liberally from films such as Dawn of the Dead and The Tingler, Demons also anticipates Scream in its cinema-savvy references, not to mention its undeniably Neve Campbell-ish heroine. The blaring heavy-metal-hard-rock soundtrack and the carnival horror-house atmosphere helps remind us that this is all just stupid fun. Despite the overwhelming body count, excessive gore, and rivers of green demon pus, the cartoonishly grotesque killings avoid the sadistic edge of many Italian horror films. By the climax of the film the premise is long forgotten in a ghoul apocalypse, but who's watching this for the story anyway? --Sean Axmaker

A well made, original and entertaining horror action fantasy from director Lamberto Bava ( Director of " Blade in the Dark" and "Shock") and produced by legendary Italian horror maestro Dario Argento ( of "Suspiria" fame) loaded with great make-up effects, gore, action, a decent story and a nice twist in the end makes this a definite must see movie for fans of the genre. The DVD is quite good in picture and sound with fine extras especially the commentary by Lamberto Bava.

Jarrell "emma34" (Newport News, VA United States) - See all my reviews    I rate this as one of the scariest and here's why. Years ago, when it was new and playing at the theater I saw it and let me tell you, seeing this film in a darkened theater is one terrifying experience. Perhaps because the demons were terrorizing the victims in a theater, I don't know, but it was beyond creepy and I still remember being scared out of mind to this day.   8 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Theatre Of Blood (And Other Goo)..., January 17, 2007 By  Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein "bigfootsalienbaby" (under the rubble) - See all my reviews    DEMONS is a classic of kill-or-be-killed / monsters-on-the loose cinema. Bava presents us w/ plenty of victims and the demonized hordes who love them! Both humans and demon-possessed creepers are slaughtered in huge numbers! Trapped in the METROPOL theatre, a group of patrons encounter the first wave of a demonic assault. Watch as the dwindling survivors unite in order to fend off the hideous, slime-drooling hell-spawn! DEMONS is definitely a product of the '80s, w/ it's goofy fashions and silly hairstyles, which makes the death scenes all the more rewarding and fun to watch! Recommended for all fans of slobbering excess (like me)... Share your thoughts with other customers:  › See all 80 customer reviews...
