Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava co-wrote this horror film, a huge European hit upon release. The film centers on two young girls who go to a brutal zombie movie and begin to notice happenings in theater mirroring the action on screen. Soon, half of the audience have been turned into blood thirsty zombies, forcing the remaining patrons to defend themselves from the unholy beasts. Stylish, gory, bleakly funny and reminiscent of George A. Romero's films, DEMONS is a hugely entertaining horror movie. Argento also produced and Bava, son of the legendary Mario Bava (BLACK SUNDAY), directed. [More]

...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.

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.
