  Soft blue lighting, neon signs, 80s workout gear, wee bastard creatures, great special effects - it's basically my checklist for a SUPER GOOD GREAT FILM.

  FRIDAY NIGHT CONTINUES WITH ONE OF THE BEST FUGGIN SEQUELS IN THE UNIVERSE YOU BETTER BELIEVE IM WATCHING DEMONS 2!

  A near perfect sequel that captures a lot of the magical chaos of the first Demons. And this time it takes place in a freakin apartment building! Which happens to be my 2nd favourite setting for a horror film right after a movie theatre. So naturally these films cater to my every desire. Of locations. There's just something extra claustrophobic and isolating about being trapped in a building with a bunch of insane demons on the loose!

  Leave it to our Demoni jerks to crash one of the most happening parties ever! I would totally go to that party. Drink…

  Review by WraithApe ★½ 2

  Like a faded Xerox copy of the original movie, set in a nondescript apartment block rather than the distinctive Metropol. Bava and Argento try to bottle and sell lightning twice, but it really doesn't work - the whole point of the first film was the idea of the film coming to life for the audience, not just random fodder in a random location. Broadcast TV in an apartment block just ain't the same.

  The acting, which hardly pulled up any trees in the first film, is positively dendritic this time round. David Edwin Knight is a charisma vacuum in the lead role, Bobby Rhodes returns, inexplicably reincarnated as a gym instructor and Asia Argento appears courtesy of daddy's production pull.…

  Review by Biscoito18 ★★★ 2

  Part of HOOPT🚨BER 7.0: “Stay Inside (the Salt Circle)!” challenge.

  ---------------//---------------

  "Demons 2" takes place in a residential building where a birthday party becomes a rain of acidic blood that crosses the floors, corroding everything in its path, especially the soul of those who come into contact with it. Soon a wide variety of characters are trapped in this hellish tower, in the dark and with dozens of angry demons running down the halls and tearing apart everything and everyone in front of them with their huge claws.

  From "Shivers" to "Land of the Dead" I love horror movies set in apartment buildings or skyscrapers, the so-called High Rise horror movies, especially when they know how to use the…

  Review by cherryz ★★★★

  September 20, 1975 Asia Argento was born. We will watch a horror movie that she was in.

  Partyyyyyyyy!!!!

  I'm glad Sally got out of her grump and went birthday bananas!

  I'll never be able to blow out candles on a cake again without demon smiling rrrrrrhhhhaaarrrrr!!!!!

  The music is on point, the groups of people in the apartment block, leotards, gym bunnies, a dog, and the kid even gets into the party mood. What a great watch.

  Review by Dave Taylor ★★★

  A movie theater, by definition, is cinematic.

  Here are some places that are 
  not as cinematic as a movie theater:

  - Parking garage
  - Gym
  - Elevator
  - Apartment buildings

  Review by Christian ★★★★ 3

  So, where to begin? This was shot in Hamburg, yet people are called Sally or George and they speak Italian. Also, for some reason the apartment building looks like an office complex. And as if this didn't already make me go cross-eyed, I learned afterwards that what I thought to be the first Demons, was actually Demons 2 because they switched titles for German distribution. Obviously.

  Either way, I loved it. Demons 2 had a feel of childlike imagination to it. The movie is mostly just things happening, but it's one amazing thing per minute. The inciding incident is a demon from a movie coming out of the TV screen, then there's a demon dog named Devil and athletes fighting…

  Review by Warp ★★½ 4

  Mediocore sequel that is inferior in all aspects to the great Dèmoni. There is little or nothing to do, both in terms of film technology and entertainment value. It takes half an hour for all to break loose but even then it all remains sleep-inducing. The action scenes look lousy and the amount of rancidity was also very disappointing. The only scene worth mentioning is the one in the elevator shaft, but apart from that one scene, it isn’t really bad, but it is unworthy of the names Bava and Argento.

  Review by Rafael Jovine ★★ 8

  When one enters a horror film, one shouldn't never going in expecting a great amount of logic. Its known by now (especially on the 80s and 90s) horror movie, characters will be doing some of the lamest and stupidest decisions, even if they have to come up with them. And you know what, I get it and I don't have too much issue with that.

  What I do have problem with is the fact that the whole film is built under a level of conveniences that's just plain down offensive. Like, ok, you are in a luxurious building with windows unable to open because the bulletproofed? Like where did I miss the memo we were in Oakland or Detroit? And…

  Review by Sally Jane Black 4

  The effects, the makeup, the gore are all delightfully excessive. It doesn't pull many punches (the dog and the kid get turned into demons!). And there's a scene where body builders rally heroically only to be decimated. I mean, this is quality stupidity.

  Review by Jayson Kennedy ★★½ 1

  There's a far more interesting movie between Demons (1985) and this loose sequel. The outbreak is treated as a past event with activists seeking answers trespassing into a walled-off zone where the demons have been defeated. Many of their questions are ours too, but also who stopped the onslaught? How long and widespread was the battle? Why has society, as the movie puts it, "almost forgotten" about the totally unprecedented nightmare?

  Instead all this is confined to an investigative report on TV watched in an apartment building. The team accidently awaken a mummified demon and it pops out of a television into the complex beginning the terror anew. A more simple set-up that could be repeated if this found box…
