It's an Italian film, directed by Lamberto Bava and co-written by Dario Argento and Bava. In Spain was described like that: "The destruction of the cinema from the own cinema", cause of the exhausting plot within a cinema, in which the zombie horror film becomes real.
Definitively I like this movie. It's a cult flick in Italy and in other countries. It's highly recommended for the lovers of horror adventures, and keep the soul of 80's culture.
It has memorable scenes like when the protagonist is killing zombies while he is riding his motor-bike in a movie theatre full of living-dead.
I reconogize that the plot is too weak, but the global concept is no bad.
The girl, Natasha Hovey, is one of the most lovely faces I've seen, and you can not resist to her.
The soundtrack: people like "Scorpions", "Motley Crue" and "John Farnham".
I hope this film will be soon in this marvellous site.

I second that, classic movie. It's a shame that all the cult Bava/Fulci/Deodato etc films are so expensive and rather hard to find.

Demons was one intense horror flick!
That mask which started it all off was pretty freaky too!

I still don't have this, maybe it looks too ghoulish. Is it a total gorefest? Because I'm not really feeling that style right now.

This really is a classic!
It has gore and cool demons
and that important 80s feeling is present all the time.
Awesome hard rock/synth soundtrack!

Love Demons. That was one of the first Italian horror films I ever saw. I also like the sequel even though it is admittedly a lot weaker.

I like Dario Argento's movies. I have this one on VHS. I also have both Demons 1 and 2 recorded on a video tape. I think I have it on DVD also, but I prefer VHS. These are good movies, but most of Dario Argento's movies are rare, like Phenomena. Got that one on DVD, but it's the VHS version I want the most (I'm not sure but it seems there's a scene missing on the DVD). They're expensive, too, these movies, I think.
