I hate to start off a little blurb with my thoughts on Demons 2 this way but I don't really have a choice... I remember this movie being much better than it actually is, I always used to consider it possibly not as well-made as Demons but just as "good"/enjoyable and sadly, it's not even in the same league. There's a great soundtrack with the likes of The Smiths and The Church and I LOVED the eyes of the Demons but the movie just doesn't match the greatness of 1985's Demons. Demons 2 does not hold up nearly as well. Much like the disappointment of Evil Dead 2 being a rehash of Evil Dead there are many elements in Demons 2 rehashed from it's predecessor the year before. I'm truly bummed out but it's still a lot of fun, mainly thanks to "Sally" played by Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni and a baby demon.

There's no danger!
-JoeI think this had all the potential of being better then the first film, which I loved, but as a whole falls short of being as good. Scenes like the chaos in the underground parking were fantastic, but then you also have a Demon Muppet which I didn't quite enjoy. The good does outweigh the bad though, and that includes the return of Bobby Rhodes! One hell of a fun film.

Vastly inferior sequel.

Bava brings us more blood dripping nails, more pulsing vains and more heavy metal fuelled carnage in this sequel to the classic "Demons".
Not as good as the original but still better than a fair amount of modern demon/zombie/infected films today.
A must for horror fans and anyone who saw the original.

Lamentable in almost every respect and yet... a group of teens at a party dressed up to the nines and dancing exuberantly to Morrissey droning "Panic". That's where this film got me on board.

I might be one of the few that likes this film more than the first.

The problem with this one is that it lacks the fun that the first one had, and has too long parts that just doesn't work very well, and oh, the ending is not nearly as good. A plus for the kind of sympathetic, although kind of cheesy, characters and a young (very cute) Asia Argento. Great music and makeup as well, but too dull for it's own good.

Not as good as the first and the story is told less clearly and effectively, but it has its moments.

Demons 2 is set several years after the ending of the first film, after the initial outbreak has been dealt with. Sally (Coralina Cataldi Tassoni) is sulking at her birthday party watching a reconstruction of the events of the first film on the TV in her room when the beasts emerge Sadako-like from the set and turning and her unlikeable friends first.
The sequel is an almost beat for beat retread of the original, and shares much of the same production values and low calibre of script and acting. It’s still entertaining but it suffers from a blatant lack of originality and a palpable sense of diminishing returns.
Luckily some of the set pieces have enough panache to keep the… -

Interesante sigue siendo, pero me ha gustado menos que otras veces que la he visto. Supongo que será la edad de la película. Es una buena segunda parte, incluso con las idas de olla. Aquí descubrimos como son los demonios originales (uno al menos) y.. nos quedamos con los híbridos humanos que se han visto hasta el momento xd
Tanto Demoni como Demoni 2 son esenciales para todo fan del Terror/ fantaterror/ terror italiano de los 80. Incluso podríamos decir cosas interesantes después de verla hoy día, como que Sadako no es la primera que sale de la tele para matar o que el plano en Rec donde se ven a todos los infectados en cada uno de las plantas-escaleras…

In the same vein as "Return of the Living Dead Pt. 2", "Demons 2" follows virtually the same plot as the first movie, the same actors, and in some cases the same characters (who may or may not have died in movie 1). Its ridiculous but great fun. The makeup effects and gore are your typical 80s flair and are a true delight to see. Bad dubbing to the max.

Hang the DJ. Hang the DJ. Hang the DJ. Hang the DJ. Hang the DJ hang the DJ hang the DJ. Hang the DJ. Hang the DJ. etc
I quite like The Smiths but always considered them more of a British success than across the pond? I know How Soon Is Now cover was used in the titles of the TV series Charmed, but still..
It was a nice little bonus feature in an otherwise pretty disappointingly boring film. I like the first film (who doesn't?) but found the high quality aesthetics and effects far outweighed everything else.
Structurally, it didn't really work very well. The "trapped in an apartment block with crazy possessed zombie things everywhere" could've been so…

I've always heard that this movie is terrible, but I felt it was a worthy follow-up. DEMONS is hard to top but the big apartment block was a cool playground for more demon mayhem.
