PopHorror Let's Get Scared
I always have a spot in my heart for the OG’s, the ones who helped bring horror into the eighties with a whole new world. Everything coming out of the genre seems forced and has lost the magic of underground horror. All it did was get a younger viewpoint, maybe even too young. Demons I and II were added to my collection of recycles as a kid. We were left feral, and when both your parents worked, you stayed home and kept the door locked. We kind of raised ourselves on Movies just like Demons.
Let’s get it into the review.
Synopsis
When victims are handed a ticket to an exclusive movie showing they all take advantage of the offer which may be the biggest mistake of their lives; and its going to haunt them until they drop in for the kill.
The Rundown
Demons was the first dubbed Italian movie I had seen, and it changed me forever. The movie is absolutely terrifying because I mean, people were getting their faces ripped off. The transformation is one of my favorite scenes. Demons trampled all over the usual suspects with III sequels. Demons never felt that pain as the film doesn’t need. Justice was done with the first movie and a sequel. I was pure perfection to all of those gore hounds like me out there.
The scenery was spooky enough; I always have a weird feeling when I go to the theater because of movies like Demons. Everything fit so perfectly. You can tell that it is badly dubbed; however, I have always had a crazy amount of horror under my belt. I hate the darkness, which I am also guilty of, to begin with. It’s fangs that catch you in their sights pretty often. Demons was different; at a certain level. I had only seen this theater monster on the big screen, which had always creeped me out, a close second to the Are You Afraid Of The Dark episode. The vampiric was absolutely menacing, just as Nosferatu was. Demons had that in mind when creating something that flowed between the story and the cruel death scenes.
The idea of watching a movie that becomes a bloodbath is different from watching some British vampire film. I do, however, enjoy that Demons 2 seems better put together. They weren’t playing around here. You could feel like seeing red with a lot of the scenes because that’s where they take you. The film’s characters have no reason to live, especially after disobeying simple orders.
One thing I can say is 90% of the people in that theater got what they deserved by the choices they made. Films like this keep me hopeful that the Terrifier series, once it is noticed, will become a box-office phenomenon. Terrifier is on its own level. Though I am committed to the films, they never had that same magic as the golden years. With writers like Dario Aregneto, the movie was held to a more loving standard over the years. Demons also features a nice little punk-rock and classic-rock fusion in the movie soundtrack.
In The End
These icons kept horror alive in a country that doesn’t really understand it. Demons opened our young minds to thinking of how they could see more of it. I will always remember the moment I had waking up at night to help me sleep. At five years old, my body was aread in tune with these films. Stop by all your favorite streaming apps and enjoy a horror movie.
