Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe building used for the exteriors of the Metropol theater still stands in Berlin. It's a club called Goya that's been host to several horror conventions thanks to its appearance in this film.
- GoofsAfter the demon falls on Hannah from the balcony he pukes slime all over her but in the next scene her clothes are clean.
- Crazy creditsThere is a jump-scare about halfway through the credits as a character turns demonic.
- Alternate versionsUK cinema and video versions were cut by 1 min 5 secs by the BBFC with edits to eye gougings, a hand being mutilated in the wheel of a bike, a demon vomiting blood and bile on a woman, closeups of a woman's teeth falling out during her transformation into a demon and a scene where cocaine is scraped off a woman's breast with a razor-blade. Some cuts were restored for the 2000 DIVID release (minus 42 secs from the cocaine scene) though the Platinum DVD, released at the same time, mistakenly featured the uncut print. The cuts were fully waived in 2004 for the reissued 'Director's Cut' Platinum DVD.
- ConnectionsEdited into Cent une tueries de zombies (2012)
Featured review
For an 80s gore-fest, you couldn't want anything more. This is another one of those "kitchen sink" movies that's in the same vein as "From Dusk Till Dawn". Put the same scenario in a movie house, back in the 80s, substitute the vampires with demons, and you pretty much get the picture. You can definitely see the influence here. With that said, if you liked "From Dusk.." and don't mind dubbing, then you should be right at home with "Demons".
There isn't a whole lot there in the way of plot. Some random folks are invited to a screening in an old movie theater. As the movie that they are viewing gets more and more violent, real life starts to imitate art and pretty soon, they discover that they are locked inside and what we're watching becomes a survival flick. That's pretty much it.
As far as gore, there is PLENTY of the red stuff with enough eye-gouging, throat ripping, and blood spurting to satisfy even the most ravenous gore hound. To say much more would give away a lot of the surprises, but it's well worth a rental. Check it out.
