4.0 out of 5 stars This 'DEMONS' a clone of first, but still entertains nonetheless..., October 20, 2005

This review is from: Demons 2 - The Nightmare Returns (DVD)

DEMONS was an entertaining gore-fest; DEMONS 2 is much of the same set in an apartment building, but it's still entertaining, very bloody and gory, and downright creepy at times. This film is also quite campy like one reviewer already stated, at times funny, but creepy enough to make it at least memorable.

The story starts with the day of lead character Sally's birthday, and many of her friends have come to help her celebrate her party. Many of the apartments occupants are fixated on a cheesy horror movie where some kids are sneaking into an abandoned city section where the last film took place (I am guessing that's where it is). There's also some actors from the first DEMONS film, Urbano returns as the weight trainer and he's in his usual commanding but silly form, and the security guard in this film was the driver in the car of cocaine addicts in the first film. Both of them ultimately meet a grim fate in the movie. Sally is not a happy camper with her dress for the party, but after hearing her ex is coming to visit her, she runs and locks herself in her room and becomes entranced by the horror movie on tv. In the movie, the demon comes back to life from the girl who cuts her hand and he ultimately is resurrected by her blood. He is kinda creepy but you can tell the performance is campy, too. After he kills off one of the characters, he disappears for some seconds and then comes back and stops for a moment as the narrator tells of the doom sealed by demons on earth, and then something terrible happens. The demon can sense, smell, and see Sally and this is where a cool (for its time in the 80s) effect comes into play...he starts to walk towards the tv and ultimately ends up pushing out of the screen, although you never see him fully emerge, you see him after Sally gets caught off guard when she turns around from smackin' her tv. From there, the mayhem ensues and most of her party-goers are transformed into flesh-ripping demons (you thought I might say zombies, didn't you?) and most of the tenants are turned or slaughtered as well. We also to get to see another mini-demon in this movie, but it was very annoying and it wasn't a very good one (they should have made one like the one in the first movie, but I guess you have to settle for the annoying one). I was glad when it finally got the boot courtesy of an umbrella shoved into it's back. It's up to the hero of the pregnant wife to help get out, and the ending was kind of cheesy but still worked, even if it's not the most classic ending of any horror film.

DEMONS 2, while very similar to DEMONS in both plot and story, is still very entertaining and downright creepy. It's also just as gory too, so you won't be disappointed even if the gore is kind of cartoonish. Beware of the demons!

5.0 out of 5 stars Teenage angst with fangs, March 24, 2006

This review is from: Demons 2 - The Nightmare Returns (DVD)

It's your birthday party - you have guests coming over, you don't know what to wear, you hate your dress, your hairs a mess, you hate the thought that your EX may be coming over.
What do you do.
Watch Telly! Sally leaves her guests to party and gets engrossed in a movie showing the apocalypse left behind by the first infestation being rooted at by a gang of nosy kids.
They find a body in the movie of a derelict demon and through an act of stupidity bring it back to life.
Out of the telly and into our Sally who then proceeds to munch on her party guests.
Excellant?
You bet!
Trapped in a technoligically advanced building the crazed teens sniff out all the tenants and go about getting them all converted, you will see some of the same characters from the first but don't be alarmed, the story itself is different.
The infected demon dog was great!
DOWN BOY!

1.0 out of 5 stars PURE CRAP, March 18, 2007

This review is from: Demons 2 - The Nightmare Returns (DVD)

This movie is an utter crap fest! I remember watching this film as a kid. Back then it was a scarry experience, watching it now is just plain mind numbing. This movie is beyond bad, and while some campy films can be quite entertaining, this is definitelly not one of those movies. Horrible acting, laughable demon makeups, zero excitement for horror fans. Don't waste your money on this crap, rent it before you consider buying it.
