Demons Reviews

..And Tombs Your Cities! Written by Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava and Dircted by Bava... They did just that! The movie takes place inside a movie theatre which most of the people there were somehow coaxed there through a combination of getting flyers for it and having nothing to do. The group shortly finds themselves fighting a demonic force of satanic creatures, the first to be a hooker (lady in the night to be P.C.) who scratches her face on a mask exhibit in the front lobby. (This girl looks like Rick James and I didn't spot it til I was watching it really stoned, and every time she came out and attacked, I screamed "I'm Rick James bitch!" making my friend never forget seeing the flick.) As the movie the group is watching progresses, shit goes more and more wrong and the demons numbers are stacking up. Before long, all are trapped and realizing there's no escaping their demonic fate. The transformations from human to demon were spectacular, even for it's time now against CGI filled fuck-ups called movies. One of the movies that stand out in my collection, along with it's sequel. Not sure yet, but the signed copy i got from Bava himself might be going in my casket when I die; I'm posting a pic of him choking the shit out of me at a bar from Fango con last June.
Ahh, to be my age in 1985, seeing this come out in theatres, along with Re-animator, Return of the Living Dead, and Evil Dead; what a fucking year!



Cheryl: I don't know how to explain it, but it's the movie that's making this happen!
Tony the Pimp: She's right, she put on that mask and scratched herself, get it? Because of that scratch, she became a demon. An instrument of evil, like they said in the damn movie, you heard it. We got to stop it I tell you, we got to stop the movie!
