MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Bob An Finally I found the film that I watched as a little kid and that is my first memory of going into the cinema. It was either this film or King Kong. But this film: Demons 2 really stuck in my (kid's) mind. Especially the scene when a demon is coming from the TV. Watching this now, after almost 30 years I do recall some scene s and parts of the film that were so scary to me then: a demon dog, little boy turned into demon above all.From this distance some of the scenes seem so funny and laughable! I mean the gym goers in bathing suits and without shirts on!? I mean, was that really a thing? Some unnecessary screaming which was not conviencing at all! The birth scene and all around it is pretty whatever now. But for the pure reminiscence of my first scary film - it is OK.Scene with that guy riding a car throughout the city is totally useless! What was the point? Really do not know. And another funny thing - the city the film was filmed in is Hamburg in Germany - I am sure as I recognize the city hall. What a strange thing.All in all, it was fun to watch ( it again after 30 years). Will see to watch the 1st one: Demons.

AllNewSux For the most part if you've seen the original Demons from 1985 you know the plot. This movie substitutes a television for a movie screen and an apartment complex for the theater. Personally, these are always my favorite type of horror films. A group of people trapped somewhere, facing insurmountable odds against demons, zombies, psychopaths, etc. and the odds are not looking good for the cast of Demons 2.I'd say simply enough that if you are a fan of horror cinema, you should check this one out. The constant darkness and flickering lights add some nice atmosphere. The special effects and makeup look extraordinary even if the Venus flytrap looking demon is kind of goofy. There are some scenes that look very similar to modern horror efforts such as REC or 28 Weeks Later, so the movie feels a bit ahead of it's time. Asia Argento turns in an emotional performance in her film debut. Although used rather sparsely, her talents are just a notch below the great child actors like a Corey Feldman or a Drew Barrymore. All the other actors involved also manage to turn in decent performances. Although we don't really get to know these characters too well, we hope people such as the two stuck in the elevator or the pregnant woman or toy ray gun brandishing boy make it through the ordeal. Meanwhile, the most annoying character gets killed off first and the entire party, along with the viewers cheer.From giallo horror to zombies to infection/demon films like this one, I've always felt the Italians did a better job at horror cinema than anybody else and a movie like Demons 2 just proves my point. It's a film that was probably rushed and wasn't given much thought outside of the plot lines of the original movie, yet it manages to be amazingly entertaining. Although not always the case with Italian cinema, this movie gets right down to business and keeps up the terror and the action until the very end. More brutal and heartless than gory and since the Italians don't always do happy endings you wonder who will win in the end, the demon hoards or humanity...

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki About as gory as the original, and just as senseless, too, but this film lacks the original's ideal setting in an ornate, deco cinema, replacing it with an odd looking apartment building. A girl in the building is watching a movie on television about demons, which somehow unleashes the demons again, it possesses her, and she goes around clawing and devouring everyone in sight. Killings are juxtaposed with an accordion player in a polka band, and a birthday cake, although not the same cake as we are puzzlingly shown in the opening scene, in two of the film's most (unintentionally?) odd moments. Overall this is a strange, gory, cheesy hybrid of the book Nothing Lasts Forever (aka Die Hard) and a replay of the original Demons, with a bit the Terminator and Dawn of the Dead thrown in. A distracting, out-of-place soundtrack also features prominently in the proceedings. As much as I love The Cult, I can't figure why their song Rain is played during the closing credits and during a party scene. It's good to see Tony the pimp has recovered though, from being so violently attacked during the previous film.

trashgang Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava immediately picked in on the wild success of Demoni (1985) and made this flick here one year later. And it shows. What could become another classic was for me a really bad effort.The story didn't change that much. This time it isn't taking place in a cinema but demons do come out of the television while watching a film about, sigh, demons. So far so good. On the other hand were the first flick had a lot of heavy metal this time they chose for new wave and Gothic with bands like The Cult and Fields Of The Nephilim. But it's the story that didn't work at all. Sometimes you are really waiting for the demons to arrive and even there it failed. Some demons are just walking around with green faces. Just look at the end scene with the fight going on. It's really bad. And the child giving birth to a demon was also a bit cheesy. The demon did look like a gremlin (1984), trying to pick in on that success. This time the puss and gore are also a bit low for Italian standards. I have said it a million times, you don't watch Italian movies for the acting. Not really my cup of tea, a bit laughable. And yes Asia Argento is in it but no, she stays dressed because you pervs she was only 8 in it. A good example of trying to clock in at the success of it predecessor. sadly, the film was possessed by demons itself.Gore 2/5 Nudity 0/5 Story 2/5 Effects 3/5 Comedy 0/5
