Italian horror auteur Dario Argento produced and co-wrote (with director Lamberto Bava) this gory, nightmarish horror film set almost entirely within the "Metropol," a huge, cathedral-like Berlin cinema showing an invitation-only screening of a rather lame slasher film. The difference, of course, is that the cheap scares on the Metropol's screen are child's play compared to the horrors which soon emerge to lay hold of the unsuspecting filmgoers: when a young woman is scratched by part of a

A movie that can support the descriptions "awesome!" and "stupid!" in equal measure.
A classic party movie that you have to watch with friends and a load of beer because you will not be bored at all...
...the film's performances, dialogue, and storyline all [suffer] from an unmistakable vibe of incompetence.
Demons is probably Lamberto's best film, not because it approaches Mario's work, but because it's so ludicrously entertaining.
The 80s called. They want their movies back.
In many ways, Demons is a zombie flick without the social commentary or biological backdrop.
It's repetitive and borderline pretentious, without the over-the-top looniness that distinguishes the better Italian splatter.
It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's not wanting for gore and creepiness.
A guy on a motorcycle careening through a cinema, wielding a katana blade and lopping off heads to the sound of 'Killers on the Attack.' It doesn't get any better than this.
Intentionally over-the-top, unintentionally funny and literally oozing with cultish je ne sais quoi.
