Night of the Demons

Night of the Demons is as stupid as thinking Google has your best interests in mind when they are collecting all the information on you, BUT...it's also a whole hell of a lot of fun. There are demons. There are boobies. There are actors in their late twenties playing teenagers. All very important ingredient in a Halloween themed horror romp. I liked it... A lot!!!

Fun rock n roll horror movie. A tad above average. It's earned its reputation.

What a classic/nostalgia that this movie is. I remember as a kid looking at this VHS cover and just the cover it was creepy. I liked it back then but watching it now I can see the flaws with it but still it's a good nostalgia movie.

Starts off a good teen haunted house movie. Way above average. First half is esspecially great. Gets a little generic near the very end. That's the problem with movies that rely on action horror as the end sometimes - it doesn't age well. It's no big deal just a missed opportunity.
It's very moody and atmospherically shot. The soundtrack is good. Linnea Quigley is hot. It's a sexy movie.

3 Thoughts After Re-Watching ‘Night of the Demons’:

1. I originally watched this as a kid while it was randomly on HBO or something. I was equally intrigued _and_ creeped out. And while it may not hold the same weight now, I can still appreciate its b-movie awesomeness.

2. The bad acting is apparent, but that more-so contributes to the film’s cult status than takes away from it. If anything bogs the film down, it’s the dragging out of various scenes and its hesitancy to get to the point.

3. For its time, the film stands out when it comes to visuals. Whether it’s the practical makeup and effects, or the scene where all the characters speak through broken mirror fragments, or Angela floating down the hallway, or her ritualistic strobe light dance, or the use of shadow and camera movements… it’s clear that whoever worked on this knew what they were doing.

Of all the 80’s horror flicks I watched, I missed this one. Well, I wouldn’t say I missed it, but... Anyway, I was the cover of the VHS tape so many times at the video store and something about it just kept me from ever grabbing it. Having watched it, it probably could’ve stayed that way. Bad acting, bad effects, bad everything. Not the good kind of bad either. Just bad. If you’re a true horror fan, watch it to check it off. Do not watch it for quality.

Bonus review: I’m 5 minutes into the 2009 remake and I don’t think I’ll make it through. It is truly awful.

Fun little 80’s romp. Big Linnea Quigley fan, so good to see her in this and her “lipstick” scene.

If you like moves like Demons you’ll probably like this one too. I’d say little less gore and more T&A but still a decent film.
