“An Italian horror film directed by Lamberto Bava and
produced by Dario Argento, Demons takes place in an old mysterious cinema where
all the patrons have been invited by a masked man distributing movie tickets.
The surprise attraction - a horror movie no less - centres around demonic possession
and graphic murder, but as the audience is about to discover, foreshadows the
events that will terrorise the freeloaders who should’ve gone bowling instead.
Forget the laughable performances and indulge in some quite
brilliant body horror that will make this tough going for some viewers. Demons
packs in the thrills, an interesting premise (for its time), and imbues the
proceedings with some gloriously disgusting havoc - most of it brilliantly
executed – that will have you forgiving Bava for creating such lacklustre
characters worthy of the barrage of abuse heaped upon them. A camp but comically
cruel night in.” DW
