Watch Demons For Free

Strong and Moving!

One of my all time favorites.

A different way of telling a story

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Warts and all, I have great fondness for this insane '80s splatterfest about demons running amok in a movie theatre, and I think a lot of its appeal is due to the setting, and the stylish gothic cinema where all the violent action takes place in this has a lot of cool retro visual flair to it, and it made for an inspired arena for horror once the fun really begins! I love the way it plays up to the movie-within-a-movie theme, I think it's done a lot more cleverly than the movie is given credit for, most of all in the excellent early sequence where the girl is screaming her head off behind the cinema curtain as the camera pans back and forth between her and the shocked audience, and the screaming character in the movie that they were watching! That tense hectic scene was brilliantly put together and was probably the most memorable one in the movie. This picture and its lesser but still fun sequel have a trashy, campy vibe which is something you can't really miss, but I wonder how much of that is down to the monstrous voice-dubbing job that made everyone sound like complete idiots, it's probably a quite different viewing experience in its original language.. For how over the top and cheesy a lot of it is, to me there's also something genuinely nightmarish in its atmosphere that gets to me a little, although none of them look quite as terrifying as Rosemary, the vicious crazed demons and all the frantic terror they bring is scary and the flick does have some genuine frights in its favor amid all the cheese. One of my favourite scenes is when the guy and his girlfriend are crawling through the spooky vent and they can hear the claws of a demon somewhere close by scraping against the metal but they can't tell where until it's suddenly revealed that it's actually his girlfriend who's been infected and has transformed right in front of him! it's a very eerie and effective little scene. Once the demonic chaos is really unleashed it all feels pretty hopeless and the patrons are completely doomed...unless of course there happens to be a spare katana and a working motorcycle handy! The famous motorbike demon slaughtering scene alone gives the rest of the movie a free pass, it's one of the most draw-dropping what-the-heck-am-I-watching sequences to be found in all of '80 horror and is both epically ridiculous and ridiculously epic!!! Effects-wise I love what they did with the mysterious and creepily alluring man who works as the herald of the demons and hands out the free cinema tickets of certain doom! His design is very striking, the metallic chrome half of his face looks like something that's grafted into his flesh rather than appearing like something that's just stuck on him, he looks amazing. And out of all the many and varied poor unfortunates who meet their demise down at the Metropol, my favourite is the big bald and black 70s disco pimp complete with hookers, he's so hilarious and entertaining to watch in action, and I really think they missed out by not having him be the film's main hero! The only thing I really do dislike is the everything with the completely unnecessary grimy gang of no good crackhead street punks who unwittingly let loose the plague of the demons upon the rest of the world in what must have been one very rapid apocalypse! A lot of the Italian dubbed horror flicks of yesteryear like most giallos that I've ever seen are so trippy and vague that they're kinda beyond me, but there ain't nothing deep about Demons, as a movie it demands nothing more from its audience other than that they hopefully have a fun macabre blast with it, and for me it's always worked just fine on that level. So while it isn't perfect by any means it is consistently entertaining, a little scary at points, and just so much fun that is earns itself a special place in my heart. Gotta love Demons, it's a classic x.

Great Italian horror doesn't have always have to be a slow-burning giallo, which relies on storytelling and drawing out scenes to build the film's intensity. No, proof of that is Exhibit A, the film Demons. Lamberto Bava's Demons is one of the corkiest but thrilling movies to watch out there. The film is chock full with gore, which looks truly disgusting on screen. The most remarkable aspect of the film is the demons' makeup effects that are painfully ugly to look at, and pretty frightening too. There is also a good line up of characters all having your traditional silly one-liners in a film that has no ambition to take itself seriously. Highly recommend this high-octane action, demon fest to anyone that is looking for a fun, gross flick.

While previews for this make it seem like a zombie flick, its technically a demon possession one, the demons share some similar traits to zombies. They move slowly and attack their victims in a swarm. The movie begins with a selected group of people being invited to a movie premiere. So for about the first fifteen minutes, its a movie within a movie. It doesn't take long for the first victim to become possessed, and then the fun begins. Although this is a gore flick, the gore is daily restrained. Throats are torn and ripped open, and a blind movie goers eyes are gouged it. (Why there's a blind guy at a movie premier is anyone's guess). As the bodies pile up, the survivors barricade themselves inside the theater to product themselves from the onslaught of demons, while repeatedly telling those of us watching that "demons are instruments of evil", as if we didn't know it already and needed to be reminded Meanwhile while the survivors are trapped inside, the movie cuts to a side story with four coked out losers who really don't serve any purpose except as fodder for the demons shortly after being introduced. After being reminded of how horrible 80's metal music really was as the demons attack in a non stop barrage, only two of the main characters survive after hilariously underacting as they watch their friends become demons one by one, a helicopter inexplicably crashes thru the roof of the theater, offering a way out. As the heroes escape back into the outside world, they see what they just went thru was a city wide occurrence, not just isolated to the theater, leaving the door open for the sequel. While it has many many flaws, this is still a.classic for midnight viewings

I really enjoy seeing the film Demons and there are a lot of things that make the film not only entertaining but interesting too.It starts off with college student Cheryl travelling on the train to go to her college, whilst travelling one of several popular soundtracks play which throughout suit the films atmosphere. When Cheryl is about to exit the station she is approached by a strange looking man with half his face covered in metal, he does not speak but instead gives her two tickets to a screening of a horror film at her local theatre. Later Cheryl meets up with her friend Kathy and they decide to miss their next lecture in favour of going to the theatre.Once they arrive at the theatre they meet two young men George and Ken and a variety of patrons become part of the audience for the film showing from a pimp and his two prostitutes to a middle age couple, one being very miserable, a blind man and a teenage couple who should have probably been asked for I.D before entering!The film shown is about two young couples exploring what seems to be an abandoned town and looking into the truth of a prophecy which is about violent human like creatures known as Demons which have fangs and claws. When one man is turned into a demon he sets upon killing his friends. Members of the audience are either curious or horrified by this. It is during the film showing in real time that one of the women from the audience who was unknowingly infected earlier turns into a demon and after scratching her friend, the whole theatre goes into pandemonium especially when the audience members realise all the exits are blocked and there are no other means for them to escape. Only time will tell if any more of them will transform into a demons or even survive!I like Demons because being produced in 1985 the film was well done and professional for its time with popular music and characters and for a horror film gives fans what they want violence and blood. There is not much suspense although there are a few surprises later on in the film which are unexpected although far fetched!I would give this film 8 out of 10.
