There was a couple things I liked here. The tentacle armed demon, who is seen much too infrequently, and obviously inspired by Lovecraft. The skull-faced demon, who is quite creepy and effective. I also like the theme song by deathrock cult band 45 Grave. They've been around for a very long time, and this is their first new track in a long time. It's great to hear some new material, even if it's only one song.
Let me get right to the point and say what I really want to say- buy the original 1987 film. It's got style, humor, it's well-written and the effects are done well on a limited budget. It's a classic with character and just a fun time. I equally recommend Part 2, from 1994, which was directed by Australian cult director Brian Trenchard Smith (Dead End Drive In, Turkey Shoot, etc). Part 2 is half sequel and half remake of part one, only with a bigger budget and more tongue stuck into it's bloody cheek.
This new one, aside from what I mentioned in the first paragraph, has little going for it. Edward Furlong is on hand, trying hard to give a good performance and hold things together, but he seems to be wandering around not sure what he's doing or what is happening. There's a lot of trying-too-hard faux-sexiness and girl-girl touching blended with a lot of screaming and lights flashing and music blaring. It all adds up to nothing. It's boring. I say if you are going to remake a movie, do something really unique and different, or if not different, make it better in some way. But here they have not improved the original nor made it different in any interesting way. It fails and it's not scary. Boring. Skip it.

This movie has alot of problems.
Linnea Quigley only has a cameo, and you can barely see her face. You do get to see her bend over again and flash some little girls her panties.
This is really not a remake. They took a few characters, and a few similar situations from the original, but the rest of the film is not even close to the original. The producers evidently wanted to make money off of the first film, but came up with a dud.
Third, Edward Furlog is badly miscast in this film. He is cast as a drug dealer with a romantic interest with the female lead, but there is no chemistry between them.Edward actually seems high himself during this film, even having dark circles from time to time around his eyes, and no one notices.
Terrible shock value dialogue and supposed sex scenes. Right off the bat we a treated to a discussion on female grooming. What that has to do with anything is beyond me. Then there is the oral sex scene which was totally unnecessary. Alot of the characters say through out the film that they need to go to the bathroom, but hardly anyone ever actually does. One starts, but is interrupted.
None of the characters have any depth. They are dull and interchangeable. The girl who plays Amelia is just flat.
The demons are not scary. In fact, the make up and special effects are pretty standard.
The writers took too many liberties to actually claim this is a remake.
AVOID

just a letdown. edward furlong is in it, that should tell you something. he literally ruins the film with his acting and druggy look. the cheesy one liners are lame and the main star that everyone wants to see, Angela(shannon elisabeth) is hardly in the film. when you do see her, the make up is fantastic, but the shots are so quick, you barely get a glimpse of her. they downplayed her bigtime which is a huge mistake. the other demons had a bigger role than her. also its very tame compared to the original bigtime. the first film was pure b-movie grindhouse horror that was actually pretty scary because it was so ferocious. this is like pg-13 compared to that. what could have been a really cool remake was ruined by a bad choice in writing, director and casting. everyone is really good except furlong. shannon, monica, luther, diora all deserve better. i love remakes, but kevin tenney really should have voiced his input more as he was a producer on the film. see the original, its spookier and more trashy than this, plus angela is in that film alot more. she was so popular she did spawn 2 sequels thats how good she was, she became a horror icon. to push her to the side is just stupid and a letdown to the demons franchise. i hope someone does a better sequel, your sitting on horror gold if done right. Angela deserves better

The Demons.
I really liked this movie. this is a remake from the one in the 80's. Linea Quigley who is in the first on makes a cameo. This movie is more of an updated version of the older one. Read more

Umm wasnt this chit already released on blu?
No really. Wasnt this movie already released on bluray? It was ok...story was weak and Furlong seemed like he was shy from the camera and needed a "fix". Not enough nudity.
