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. 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. ... ...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 ...

Advantages: Very goring if you like that sort of thing Disadvantages: Not a brilliant story line a bit vague

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 ...
