Producer and co-writer Dario Argento presents Lamberto Bava’s Demons, a heavy metal horror blast following a pack of filmgoers desperately trapped in a movie palace with a horde of flesh-hungry fiends. Bava cranks the movie to 11, stylishly delivering buckets of ultraviolent gore to a pulse-pounding Claudio Cimonetti score and a grooving soundtrack of ‘80s hard rock hits.
“A monument to the horror genre’s potential for offering images of irrational Grand Guignol beauty” – Chuck Bowen, Slant
