Horror fans searching for a breakdown of Demons (1985) will find our review covers the plot, themes, and the shocking ending everyone talks about.

Lamberto Bava directed and with a screenplay by Dario Argento helped to make Demons (1985) a cult classic demon film. Watch as a randomly selected group of individuals attend a seemingly harmless movie screening. The group soon find themselves trapped in the movie theater with gruesome demons. Urbano Barberini, Natasha Hovey, and Karl Zinny star in Demons.

Demons (1985) does a great job of being a gritty and bloody horror movie. The practical special effects help with the terror you feel while watching this film. These ravenous demons gave me chills and thrills. Imagine watching slow zombies from Night of the Living Dead, and speeding them up all the while keeping their carnal and animalistic ferocity. Enjoy this film for yourself, especially late at night.

The acting was good, give or take. The special effects were great to me; I enjoy watching practical special effects. The story was mediocre but does not take away from enjoying the film.
