Nice and juicy Italian cult film with a rocking soundtrack., 25 November 2003
8/10
Author: Captain_Couth (sirjosephu@aol.com) from Sacramento, CA

Demons (1985) is a movie that has to be seen with a nice stereo sound system because the music rocks. Demons is gooey and bloody. It's also nicely accompanied by an awesome soundtrack. Argento wanted to produce a movie that was a mindless and brainless exercise of absurdity, an instant popcorn movie that was going to make him and his investors a lot of money. Well, with the aid of Lamberto Bava he accomplished what he set out to do. The results are what you see on the screen. An action packed thrill ride. A movie from the 80's. A young woman and her friend are given tickets to a movie by a masked man who sort of resembles Lou Reed (Michael Soavi). Argento's daughter is in this picture (Fiore Argento), Lamberto Bava has a cameo appearence and 70's Italian child star Nicoletta Elmi (she's all grown up!) has a role as the theatre usherette. If you like cheesy horror films, this one's right up your alley. Highly recommended.
