Advantages: good effects Disadvantages: picture could be improved, badly dubbed in places
Dario Aregento has been known for many years as one of the kings of horror film making, and rightly so. this is one of argentos earlier works, and is probably his finest moment to date. The film is based around an old cinema, Nostradamus prophecies, and a mask which turns any wearer into a demon.

Dario Aregento has been known for many years as one of the kings of horror film making, and rightly so. this is one of argentos earlier works, and is probably his finest moment to date. The film is based around an old cinema, Nostradamus prophecies, and a mask which turns any wearer into a demon. Ok the plots a bit thin on the ground, once the chaos starts, the audience find themselves bricked up inside the cinema, without any explanation or reasoning. Now to the poistive points, the film is very dark, at points very very scary and throughout is gross in no uncertain terms, I would even go as far as to say vile at some places. The effects are astounding for of film of this time, the actors are credible, and you actually find more depth in this movie than you would from say the exorcist. The dvd is slightly grainy, but the sound is perfect and contains loads of good 80's songs. It also contains a behind the scenes segment, and for any real horror fan, this is an essential purchase.
Advantages: Very goring if you like that sort of thing Disadvantages: Not a brilliant story line a bit vague
...end only to find the demons got out and its spread all over so again try to escape that. A truly grusome film to watch but if you like that sort of thing then this is the film for you. I would definately keep my copies for that reason.
I own the box set of both films so i have a bonus disk called the interview which i have not seen as my other half doesn't like the films they creeeep him out so maybe in the future srry guys can only say its an interview ... ...or people involved.
On the first disc which is the first film of course has extras which are as follows the Original Trailer for the film seen on all tv screens years ago.
The Horror Mastermind which is a commentary on different films done by the famous Dario Argento it is dubbed how seems as he is foreign.
Next we have Collaborations which shows which films he has had help with directed and who he has worked with on different films.
And lastly ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Demons (Box Set) (Special Edition) (DVD)
Advantages: Soundtrack (Billy Idol etc) Disadvantages: Lasts 88 mins
...People are turning into demons and trying to kill each other. Add the unnecessary 4 smack heads who enter the building after running away from the police and the storyline is well and truly lost. The make up is pretty decent for the time, but the storyline is weak, the performances are awful. No surprise I have never heard of anyone in the film and never will. So I would leave this film well alone if I was you. I also got Demons 2 to watch, but I ...

The story takes place in an old mysterious cinema where all the patrons have been invited by a sinister disfigured man. One of the guests, a young woman, slashes her own face and is transformed into a snarling creature of the underworld.

DVD Description
A special collection of Lamberto Bava and Dario Argento's DEMONS (1985) and DEMONS 2 (1986). DEMONS follows two young girls who go to a brutal zombie movie and begin to notice happenings in theatre mirroring the action on screen. Soon, half of the audience have been turned into blood thirsty zombies, forcing the remaining patrons to defend themselves from the unholy beasts. Stylish, gory, and bleakly funny, DEMONS is a hugely entertaining horror movie. Bava and Argento followed up DEMONS with DEMONS 2, which finds an apartment building being overrun by demons that emerge from a television set. Filled with more of the over-the-top gore effects that made DEMONS so much fun, DEMONS 2 is not only a top notch sequel, but also a continuation of Bava and Argento's playful metaphysical riff on the effects of watching horror films. Both films are presented in their complete uncut versions.
