The film begins with two college girls receiving free tickets to a secret screening at the bizarre Metropol theater in Berlin (any of you Playstation fans catch the Metropol sign in the horror game Silent Hill?). The film turns out to be a super violent horror film concerning teenagers who mess around in the tomb of Nostradamus accidentally unleashing sinister forces by applying a demon mask to there faces (nice tip of the hat to Mario Bava's Black Sunday).

Well the same shit happens at the screening of the film when a prostitute plays around with a demon mask prop and cuts her face transforming into a foaming at the mouth, quiet horrifying beast who spreads the disease by scratching or biting others. Soon all hell breaks loose in the theater as the demon attacks and the audience realizes they are entombed inside the movie palace.

Classic gore scenes are a plenty as special effects master Sergio Stivaletti lets loose with one amazing set piece after another. Noted highlights are the transformation of the other ho as her teeth fall out to reveal fangs and her hands transform in a hideous manner before tearing this old dudes throat to shreds, the blonde lady who lets out a really funny scream before having the top of her head pulled apart (check out our gallery!), the demon bursting out of a girls back, and the old blind man getting his eyes brutalized for what seems like an eternity.

On the downside Demons had the potential to be a true Italian classic if it didn't get so damn silly! The first half of the movie is relatively creepy before introducing these retarded hooligans with names like Ripper! (He does get off a funny line about the chick already selling her twat) and the preppy lead male who magically turns into a sword wielding madman killing the one time seemingly invincible demons with ease.
