Lamberto Bava, son of the Italian horror legend and giallo godfather Mario Bava, teamed up with modern master Dario Argent (co-writer 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 cinema, 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, Amazon.com

In a nutshell - it's a gory, silly, fast paced, 80's horror and it's fantastic!
The acting is (mostly) decent, the kills wonderfully theatrical and over the top and great effects to boot.
The transfer is superb, it looks great.
Nice selection of extras, sadly no deleted/extended scenes or behind the scenes stuff but enjoyable never the less.

Demons is a very cool and very unique horror movie from 1985, its not often a movie gets over run by demons, its usually zombies or vampires!! The story is weird but very cool and is set in a strange movie theatre were demons come to life just like in the movie showing in the theatre, its all top budget for the time with awesome make-up effects and bloody gore everywhere!! If you love horror then this is a must in your collection, the picture on the bluray looks really good as it has been mastered in Hidef and there is some cool features, the perfect package and a great resurrection of a cult 80s movie.

Ordered it off His Master's Voice and it came yesterday. Packaging, booklet, comic, Everything is AMAAAAAZIIIING. A/V quality is 10/10 for an older film. Arrow have let me down so many times with the delay in this release but this Blu Ray really makes up for it. I paid £12 but even at £16 it's a bargain, if you haven't already ordered it then do so now. You won't be disapointed :)

A very guilty pleasure
The reason I bought this film was because myself and a friend heard the song "We Close Our Eyes" by Go West and I was convinced it was from a film I'd seen in the 80's. Read more
