The Italian masters of horror Dario Argento (DEEP RED, SUSPIRIA) and Lamberto Bava (MACABRE, A BLADE IN THE DARK) team up to create what is probably one of the most violent and over-the-top horror films ever made...DEMONS. The threadbare plot concerns a group of unsuspecting folks who are invited to a sneak preview of the latest horror movie. But instead, they become trapped inside and become carnage-seeking monsters. I really wanted to say that this is the movie that got me hooked on Italian horror forever thanks to my sister whom I won’t mention her name on this website. The make-up effects from Sergio Stivaletti are unapologetically gory and realistic. But then again, a movie with special FX like this is not for the fearful. Of course, Claudio Simonetti’s music never disappoints as does the soundtrack by Motley Crue (not a big fan of), Rick Springfield, Billy Idol and others. The acting is ranges from above to below average. Urbano Barberini who plays the hero has a presence that’s sometimes stiff, but energetic thanks to his involvement in the film’s bloody, hard-rocking finale. As for Natasha Hovey, she’s kind of cute but does very little. And after all, we watch these movies for the experience and not for the bravura performances. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear things about the follow-up sequel DEMONS II, but I’ll give it a shot to see if it’s superior to the original.Read full review
Very entertaining. The rock music soundtrack alleviates the horror and gore. Italian horror cult classic but SO hard to find.

Great horror films from Dario Argento that are examples of classic horror from the 70s and 80s. Cheesy at times but always entertaining!

It`s the movie I watched when as a very little girl on VCR. It was wery scary to me back then. Today it is not very scary anymore, it more like "trash" horror. But it is a classic and I wanted to have it. You can not get classic movies just like that today. This movie is on DVD, so the quality of picture is better then on cassete that I watched a long time aggo. I attend to order some more of classis horrors (and perhaps gangster movies) in future.
Good classic movie . had to watch demons 2
