Hello Everyone,

To begin, this is a review for the Steelbook product and not the film. I will also stay away from the "No Poster / No Comic / No (whatever else you want)" Debate - it will be judged on it's own merits.

All things being equal, this is a fantastic Steelbook Set the big DVD/BD distributors would be proud of; they could learn a lesson or two from ArrowFilms. I'm not having a go at the film, but many higher quality films would beg for a release like this from Arrow.

What we get from the start is an in-your-face cover, front and back, an excelent presentation of whats waiting for us inside. But before it can be opened we have to remove the slipnote (contains details of the set) that is glued to the case, because if you don't you'll tear the top (which has "Limited Edition" written), and bottom (the film rating). I'm in two minds about this setup - although i don't know what you can do to make it better, because once you unglue the slip it doesn't look nice. What do you do with it? Put it back like it was - not so visualy pleasing, fold it up and put it inside the case, or glue it to the back? My solution was to glue it back on, but not quite as it was from the start. I noiced that if you unglue just the top or bottm you can open the case. So i unglued the bottom, folded it to the back and used a "sticky dot" to hold it together at the beck. This way i still have the top flip that has "Limited Edition".

But for now that's enough of arts and craft.

Before we get inside there is one more thing. I found it slightly amusing when audio commentaries are called "audio recollections" on the slip :)

Inside the steelbook we find a booklet, NoteAd, and two BD's.

I received an early promo copy of these films and was totally blown away by the picture, it makes every other previous DVD release look like VHS, the picture quality is so good and for those in the UK who never got the Anchor Bay US DVDs finally in the correct aspect ratio!

On the extras side as ever with Arrow, they are plentiful a great booklet by Calum Waddell and on each film the old commentaries but the real treat here is the brand new commentary with Lamberto Bava and co, whereas on the earlier commentaries Lamberto struggled speaking in English here he speaks Italian and so the information flows throughout the entire film, we get amazing anecdotes, information on how they made the film and what their experience of making it was like. There's the obligatory interview with Argento who is his usual charismatic self... it's a good solid piece on his part in the film. Claudio Simonetti waxes lyrical on the film's score and then the ever wonderful Luigi Cozzi talks about his top Italian horror movies which is really interesting, a companion piece to this is on Demons 2 where Cozzi talks about the history of Italian horror, it no way overlaps so it's a real treat to hear more from Luigi. Demons 2 also has a long interview with SFX supremo Sergio Stivalleti which is interesting.

All in all I've never seen these films looking so good and so well presented, the packaging really is the icing on the cake, I hope Arrow do more SteelBooks, the design is amazing.

It's become somewhat obligatory to begin an Arrow Video review by mentioning that, yes, they haven't had the greatest track record in Blu-ray history. Most of their Dario Argento releases were given a middling reception. DNR here, rampant machine noise there, and in one infamous case, the wrong aspect ratio. Then there was that whole mess with 'The Beyond'...

But guys, come on. What about 'Vamp'? Or 'Maniac Cop'? 'The Exterminator'? 'The Funhouse'? 'Red Scorpion'? 'Dawn of the Dead'? All winners in my book, and that's even without taking the generous application of extra features and superb packaging into account. Arrow's DVD releases, aside from a couple of NTSC-to-PAL issues, are almost always of exceptional quality too.

So 'Demons' and 'Demons 2', then. Announced back in 2010, and beset by delays ever since, a lot's been riding on these bad boys. But now they're finally here! The results are in! Exclamatory!

What's the first thing you're gonna look for in an Italian horror movie's Blu-ray transfer? That ghastly machine noise, of course! The stuff's been playing havoc with Arrow and Blue Underground's output for what feels like forever. It is to these cult favourite studious what the Alien is to Sigourney Weaver... or something. Bad metaphor.

Anyway, there I am, starting up 'Demons' and preparing myself for a digital hail storm. But as the opening train scene gets underway... nothing. Perplexed, I stick my face up against the screen. Nope. No machine noise here. But what's this? My... could it be... film grain? It is! And, get this, it's only a fine layer that remains stable throughout, never becomes bothersome, and merely adds a rich, filmic texture.

Crazy, I know!

Another laughably bad masterpiece of Italian horror, if there was an Oscar for bad acting and atrocious special effects these two would clean up. The "demons" in question are really zombies that can run around and have some pretty bad dental problems and for some explicable reason they come out of the screen from a movie into a building whose exits inexplicably seal up. There isn't much attempt to explain why this happens but its probably a good thing as that would make you cringe further. Furthermore you have a soundtrack of dated old heavy rock music to beef up the cringe factor to the limit. Demons 2 is probably the better of the two in that it is unintentionally the funnier of the two, especially the acting of the black tough guy with the sideburns who evidently impressed the producers with his performance in the first outing. There is also a demon muppet that will cause you to bust a little chuckle. One thing for sure, you won't feel any sensations of horror watching these lame movies, but if you get into how bad they are you will find them rather entertaining.
