When a very annoying prostitute puts on a demonic mask on display in the lobby, within fifteen minutes later she has pus bubbles exploding from her face, and is attacking her other prostitute friends. One by one people are transformed, as gory as any italian horror movie can get. The direction is actually really good and Lamberto Bava goes all out on colors and angles which horror italian director doesn't and the soundtrack goes well with the eighties look.
I also really had fun times with the 4 punks snorting coke outside the theatre, but they really added nothing to the plot and at times just seem to be there to fill time, without a doubt though the gore is the highlight of this flick. Throats getting ripped open, scalps getting teared off, puke and pus splatter continuously,a huge tongue sliding out one of the demons mouth, demons getting hacked with a sword, the most gruesome scene is definitely the blind man getting his empty eye sockets gouged out..
The characters are so hard to tell apart and we don't evn see some of the patrons faces. I don't remember any characters really except the coolest "pimp" Tony, the sexy usherette, the four punks and the "GEORGE" character mainly only cause i recognized him from OPERA , but this movie obviously isn't meant for character development. FAQ 2. What is the Metropol? How many different versions exist in the UK of this movie? Details Edit.

The usherette stalking around, the terrible speed metal. But all the giallos we watched had elaborate if ridiculous back stories that tied the whole thing together, right? Here there is no logic. The transformation of the second hooker was like, a whole situation.
That giant engorged tongue sticking out of her mouth like a big horse dick? Kristine : Exactly, yes. I knew we were in for it when they first enter the theatre and that motorcycle is displayed in the lobby. I was all, mamma mia here we go! I still am most upset by the teeth thing.
That set-piece made no sense, but I loved it. Horror seems to be obsessed with people turning into other things, with bodies morphing or changing. Is it a fantasy or a nightmare? Would we agree that this movie is more fascinated with the spectacle of unclean female bodies than male? It seems like all the big FX setpieces were female transformations. But the female bodies just become more abject. This movie thinks female bodies are already abject and suspect! Abjection is linked to the feminine here, right?
I think they are portrayed as dumb asses, but not necessarily abject. The thing that links them together is, they both dared to put on the mask and mock it.
Kristine : In the basement there are little vignettes from his movies. The one for Demons was just a theatre with people running amok. Now I wish I had studied it more. Sean: But I feel like the cursed object is meant to stand in for some kind of mythic, historical and occult past.
Kristine : Sure, maybe so. Sean: It is formulated as a problem that the modern people treat the mask with irreverence. Because in a way this movie is about a modern encounter with the primal, the mythic. Those punk characters are maybe the best representation of callow modernity in the movie. Like you said, they plague the subways, taking up space…. The red-headed usherette is played by Nicoletta Elmi, who had an interesting horror movie career as a child.
Elmi was very distintive looking and was often a sinister presence, and I think her role in Demons is a kind of in-joke for this reason. I love it. I must revisit. Both films look, and sound, amazing. Have you seen the sequel? But will do so now, ASAP. Oh no, nothing like that. Heaps of extras, for each film. It is a premium product, but I sympathize with those that just want the film. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

Seven other films have been added to the Demons series, but most of them are random films that were only given the name in order to make money. Genre Icons in the cast? Other notables? The movie is set in Berlin, Germany, where a diverse cross-section of people show up for a midnight screening of a horror movie at a local theater.
However, the line between fiction and reality soon blurs when the events depicted in the film start to occur to the patrons of the theater. A cursed mask serves as the conduit through which demonic forces begin to invade and take over the bodies of the moviegoers and soon everyone is fighting for their lives against the murderous demons.
The plot somewhat centers on a college student named Cheryl and her companions, a girlfriend and two male moviegoers named George and Ken. Soon Cheryl and George are the last ones standing, and they must try to battle their way out of the theater. Sean: So Demons has grown on you since we watched it? Sean: Explain? Is that a parsnip in your mouth or are you just happy to see me?
Kristine : Right? Kristine : True.
