The Worst Film Ever
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Blistering performances.
Wanna see Bigfoot tear apart some biker's genitals? Wanna see Bigfoot rape a 15-year-old girl? Wanna see Bigfoot rip out a guy's intestines and whip people with them? This hidden gem has you covered.Night of the Demon is one of the "best" B-movies i've seen. It's bad, it's gory, has atmosphere and even a sensible plot. The death scenes are quite something to behold, for example in one scene the Bigfoot slams two girl scouts that have knives on their hands together, making them stab each other. The audio is also hilarious due to it's awfulness. At some parts (especially in the death scenes) there's poorly recorded screams and moans added, further increasing the level of cheese.The movie proceeds quickly enough so there's no irritating or boring scenes that you have to sit through. I thought the plot was kinda interesting and well written (in terms of a B-movie that is) and it even had some witchcult/satanic vibes on it. A little.Good movie. Watch it if you get the change. Prepare yourself for cheese. Bye.
James C. Wasson's Night of the Demon (not to be confused with the 1957 Jacques Tourneur "classic" of the same name), is undoubtedly one of those films that would have been lost into the ether of forgotten trash, had it not been for moral crusaders involved in the ludicrous video nasty furore in the early 1980's. Of course, the likes of Mary Whitehouses' lobbying group, 'The Festival of Light' - along with MP Graham Bright, - would have only seen the "nasty" and gruesome shots from the accused films. Seeing a series of gore scenes from 79 films would surely grate on anyone (even someone who likes gore movies), and reading these outside of the context of the narrative fundamentally alters its meaning. In this low budget gore film, there are some significantly gruesome dismemberment and bloodletting - in one scene a motorcyclist has his penis ripped off whilst taking a leak at the roadside.Night of the Demon is practically a slasher film (prevalent in the horror market at the time), in its approach of the infamous myth of the Bigfoot - or Sasquatch. Professor Nugent (Michael Cutt) takes a group of students to the wild wilderness of America, in search of the beast, who is suspected of being the culprit in some gruesome deaths. The films use of the flashback device is a simple technique used to fit as many kills in as possible. Nugent orates the history of the horrific deaths; each 3 to 6 minutes previous events are show in detail. Interviewing a local eccentric, they are guided towards a mysterious hermit woman, affectionately known as Crazy Wanda (Melanie Graham), and the myth of Sasquatch takes on a satanic edge, involving sexualised rituals, and offering of virgins. It's a bizarre inclusion to the narrative, but one that does eventually bring some obvious, silly, but semi-interesting ramifications - a kind of explicitly fantastical stereotyping of the redneck American "outback" of films like The Texas Chain-Saw Massacre (1974), or The Hills Have Eyes (1977).Whilst overall the film is substantially awful, there are some technically accomplished - or at least effective - sequences. In the opening a man has his arm ripped off by the monster, the camera zooms onto the stump at the shoulder, the blood pours out, and as the title, Night of the Demon, emblazons the screen, the blood has filled a foot print in the mud of Bigfoot. It's an incredibly simple, but effective idea. Later a pair of girl guides are attacked, the beast bangs the girls together, as they stab each other with the knives in their hands. This incredible scene has the editing spirit of the shower scene from psycho, and cuts in some very gut churning shots of knife penetration.Night of the Demon does have a few accomplished moments, but the film is generally a very haphazard production, with lamentable narrative drag, and incompetent performances (but it's preposterous to even criticise acting abilities in films like this). Of course, as you would expect also, from low budget horror, the monster - man in a suit - is stupid, looking like Chewbacca with a shaved face and an afro, and they save that beautiful reveal (sic) for the climax of the film. With all these bad elements, I have to say that it is not the worst of its kind. Night of the Demon offers some unintentional laughs, and possibly even some intentioned. Taking the gore scenes out of context would lead to some questioning of the film - some of the special effects are very well done for such a minuscule budget - but it is possibly far too amateurish to be absolutely convincing, but would certainly not damage the mind of any spectator.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com
Thanks to YouTube, I have seen 'Night of the Demon' the uncut version. Most people say 'its bad its good' but in my opinion its awful. The acting is horrible, the music is horrible and story is just plain out boring and awful. I'm glad that this movie didn't get an official DVD release. There is some on eBay and Amazon, heck, I don't care if people want to buy this and waste there money on this awful thing you call a 'cult classic' ,but the film is in such bad quality from a VHS transfer. The story is slow, Bigfoot looks like a rejected Chewbacca, the ending is in slow motion, the overuse of roars and growls and the characters are unmemorable. Even though there is gore, the gore is just unbearable to watch. There are many people who like this kind of stuff...but not me.
Night of the Demon is one of the infamous video nasties that was banned in Britain. It was finally released in 1994 with 1 minute and 41 seconds cut. It became most famous for its depictions of castration, dismemberment, stabbings and disemboweling.The description tells you this is a gory version of Bigfoot. What it doesn't tell you is how funny it can be. In the second attack, two people are going at it in their van in the woods when Bigfoot pulls the man out of the van and bloodies him up. The girl (Jennifer West) is all naked and screaming at the sight of her bloodied lover. I swear her screams sounded like she was having an orgasm.Bigfoot grabs another camper, still in his sleeping bag, and twirls him round and round before throwing him into a tree with a broken branch.You might want to watch where you whip it out to relieve yourself. You never know what's in the bushes, and you might lose some valuable equipment.They find Crazy Wanda (Melanie Graham), who was raped by Bigfoot, and had it's baby. Of course Bigfoot came by and the real carnage began.Picture is fuzzy most of the time, and the acting is not that great. Music is irritating, but there is a lot of blood for the nasty fans.
