Never let it be said that Cage doesn't still have it in him to give a calm and quiet performance and still deliver. Wolff is shaping up to be impressive as well. It's hard to say much about this movie without giving a lot away because it's very rooted in emotion and relationships, so most big plot points won't seem like such unless you're already on the ride. Without giving much away, the scene about the pub is one of…

It's fine during quiet moments, but when scenes with more action are happening it becomes so loud and bombastic that it would almost be…

Demons 2 1986
Basically a carbon copy of the original. Demons escape from a movie and people become trapped in a building, meanwhile a carload of punks is heading for the location. Eventually a new demon climbs out of someone.
The horror genre thrives on carbon copies though, and this one isn’t bad. The scope is a bit bigger as the story expands to a state of the art apartment complex. The effects work is good and some of the demon designs are…
