JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Sam Panico Six years after the events of Night of the Demons, all of the bodies at Hull House have been recovered except Angela. Urban legend suggests that she went body and soul directly to Hell. But the real truth? Upon getting a Halloween card with her signature last year, her parents committed suicide. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Night of the Demons 2, one of the many sequels that my wife loves more than the original. Meet Melissa, who everyone calls Mouse. She's Angela's sister, who is now attending St. Rita's Academy, a school for troubled teens. The school bully, Shirley, gives her a hard time while Sister Gloria, the head nun, tries to look out for her.Shirley isn't allowed to attend the school dance after the nuns catch her fooling around with Kurt, so she decides to have her own Halloween party at Hull House, complete with a demonic ritual and help from the school nerd, her boyfriend, a guy named Z-Boy, Johnny, Johnny's girl Bibi and Terri (Christine Taylor, years before she was in The Brady Bunch Movie).Of course, all Hell breaks loose. What you might not expect is that the demonic Angela rises and rapes Z-Boy in the attic in an inversion of horror movie tropes. And a tube of lipstick possesses Shirley, which leads to the girls being possessed and murdered by Angela, who wants to sacrifice her sister Mouse to the Devil.The nerd, Perry, uses his demonology skills and the help of Father Bob and Sister Gloria to try to rescue the teens. Bibi, Johnny and Sister Gloria survive, killing all of the demons except Angela, who tries to cut the nun's head off. A combination of a sword strike, a supersoaker filled with holy water and light coming through a cross shape finally kills Angela. But oh no! The evil lipstick survives!Brian Trenchard Smith (Turkey Shoot, Leprechaun 4: In Space) puts together a quick moving fun piece of cinema junk food here. It's not anything that will stay with you for long, but it'll certainly keep you laughing and somewhat entertained while it's in your DVD player or streaming on your media player.

morrison-dylan-fan Talking to a fellow IMDber about a number of Horror films starring "scream queen" Linnea Quigley that I have recently seen,I got told the non-Quigley Night of the Demons titles were actually very good.After watching the excellent New Zealand Horror Housebound on Netflix UK,I searched around for other horror films that were on the site,and I was happily surprised to discover that the second film in the Night series had recently been put on,which led to me getting ready to spend a second night with the demons.The plot:After a mass, mysterious killing took place at a disused funeral parlour 6 years ago,the event has entered local folk tales,due to the police finding all the dead bodies of the victims, apart from Angela-who most of the towns people believe got taken to hell by demons. Believing their eldest daughter to be dead,Angela's parents are horrified to get a card with her sig,which leads to them killing themselves (talk about starting the movie on a light note!)With their being no one to take care of her,Angela's young sister Melissa is sent to a boarding school that deals with troubled teens.Running the school on a strict religious rule, Father Bob & Sister Gloria decide that the upcoming Halloween party will not feature any loud music or booze.Sick of having to follow orders,a group of teen rebels decide to stage their own Halloween party,by taking Melissa to where her sister may have died,and performing some fake "sacrifices." Entering the funeral parlour,the group soon discover that Melissa (and the demons) are far from dead.View on the film:For the first half of the film,the screenplay by Joe Augustyn & James Penzi takes a refreshing teen Comedy tone,with Z-boy, Bibi, Shirley, Terri and Johnny's attempts to rebel against Father Bob and Sister Gloria offering a number of hilarious confrontations,whilst also allowing the viewer to warm to each member of the animated gang.Made 6 years after the original,the writers link the movies together in a delicate manner,with some aspects of the original being expanded upon (such as the red lipstick),but never overpowering the new horrors attacking the group and Sister Gloria.Undressing the "holy" image that Gloria & Bob are trying to give the school,director Brian Trenchard-Smith & cinematographer David Lewis dive into the raunchy sauce,as gliding whip-pans display every bit of naked flesh from the stunning girls,and the guys in their underwear! For the comedic elements, Brian Trenchard-Smith gives the title a gleefully wacky atmosphere,thanks to Trenchard-Smith slam- dunking from a basketball playing headless demon spraying blood over the screen,to a kung-fu fighting nun (played by an excellent Jennifer Rhodes.)Soaking the film in burning reds and green ooze splatter,Trenchard-Smith superbly keeps up with the delightfully animated cartoon gore effects with stylish first person tracking shots giving the funeral parlour a strikingly creepy atmosphere,as the group try to survive a second night of the demons.

Aaron1375 I am a bit hesitant to say that this is a sequel that should never have been made. Granted, I do almost feel that way; however, while it was not as good as the first movie overall it does feature a lot of good gore effects. In fact, a lot of the effects in this one top those found in the first one. Still, it is a rather stupid film as well. It just seems to not know if it wants to be a straight horror film, a horror film with light comedic elements or a straight out parody. This sequel does sort of pick up where the last left off and at the same time it does not. Hull House is again at the center of the horror, but Angela from the previous film is basically made the primary demon. In the previous movie she was just one of many, sure she was kind of the face of the film as far as video covers and such, but it was Quigley's character that started the demon infestation in the first film whereas the character of Angela was the first one that wanted to leave. It was a nice touch adding the lipstick from the first one though. Another problem with the film was the film's length. A horror film if it is big budget and serious in tone may warrant more than an hour and a half, but one that gets downright silly should wrap up in an hour and a half. This film was dragging at times as a lot of stuff seemed unnecessary. It is not as if the film needed the extra padding either! The story, years have passed since the party at Hull House and people claim to have seen Angela residing there. In fact, at the beginning a couple looking to spread the word of God find themselves face to face with her. Well we soon shift focus onto one of the most lax Catholic schools ever recorded on film. A dance is coming up, but one of the girls is going to get a party started at Hull House and she is going to get a young girl named Melissa and who everyone calls Mouse there because she is Angela's sister. Things get weird at Hull House so the partiers are soon headed back to the school where the evil follows them. It soon is up to a couple, a guy obsessed with demonology, a hardcore nun and skeptical priest to enter Hull House to rescue Melissa and conquer the darkness and Angela once and for all!So yeah, it does sort of follow the first film, but at the same time does enough different to keep things from seeming like a complete repeat of the first film. Still, I found the strange episodes where the film turned into a parody a bit annoying. Stick with one genre please as the high comedic elements detracted from the instances where people were self sacrificing. Then again, those scenes detracted from the parody stuff if that was what the film truly wanted to be. The only actress who returned from the first film is the one who played Angela and she is already looking a bit too old for the role. She could almost pass for Melissa's cool older mom rather than her sister. I know they made another film, but I have a feeling that the quality would go down further. Not the effects, those were good…just the horror. Probably no traces of pure horror left. Granted the first one had some very light comedic elements, but it was still more horror than anything else. This one has a good bit of nudity too, like the first one, but I give the edge to the first one. The girls in that one were just a bit more attractive, but then I have always been a bit more partial to 80's girls. It was not a good film, but it was watchable. Trim some of the time off and be a bit steadier with what they wanted to do with the comedy and this one would have been more on par with the first film.

Scarecrow-88 Angela's(Amelia Kinkade) demonic spirit still lives within the dilapidated walls of Hull House waiting for someone to release her. Thanks to Shirl(Zoe Trilling, quite the naughty, sexy raven-headed bad girl)and her thuggish pranksters trick her Catholic school friends into going to a party at Hull House. Bibi(the strawberry-blond bombshell Cristi Harris)makes the mistake of lifting a tube of lipstick which she'll take on her person across the underground stream which forbids the demonic spirit to flee her "spiritual circle". The lipstick opened by Shirl unleashes a snake-like crawler which enters her vagina while also releasing a "spiritual smoke" with Angela now free to roam. Perry(Robert Jayne), a Catholic student whose passionate belief that demonic spirits still exist despite his feelings falling on deaf ears(..and annoying newly established priest, Father Bob(Rod McCary)), will find, through a type of ceremonial ritual, that Angela is alive and well. Melissa(Merle Kennedy), a shy, sweet-hearted wallflower, an object of scorn by those who share sleeping quarters with her, is Angela's sister, an orphan terrified by dreams of her sister in demonic form. Angela desires to use her as a sacrifice for Satan within the hellish confines of Hull House. Those who entered Hull House on Halloween will face certain peril as Angela sets her sights on gaining the souls of each individual and it'll be up to yard-stick-toting nun, Sister Gloria(Jennifer Rhodes)and Perry, carrying holy-water-powered toy shooters and bombs, with the reluctant approval of a non-believing cynical Father Bob, to stop her before the unholy sacrifice is offered to Satan.The plot, as crazy as it is, services only as a means for incredible special effects. Director Brian Trenchard-Smith(Dead-End Drive-in)lets it all hang out with heads decapitated, holy water working as acid(often melting those possessed into a goo-puddle of bubbling flesh and blood), the infamous lip stick tube releasing a computerized viper head, Angela's emerging as a demonic snake(..a fantastic creation whose fate regarding a cross baked to her chest as the sun rays shine through an image kicked away by Johnny from a boarded window, seems inspired by Hammer studios' Dracula films), faces melting and steaming, boobs reaching to grab a victim's hand whose grasp burns, and ugly demonic make-up with those possessed attaining sickening, sharp teeth. Bare breasts are paraded for horror fans craving such images, and the cast Trenchard-Smith has available are beautiful/handsome. The Catholic church is skewered as Sister Gloria is lampooned thanks to her yard-stick which is always with her, almost an appendage, that third arm she needs as a moral crusader to keep the kids under her watch from sinning and partaking in lascivious acts. Her "preparation scene" resembles Rambo getting his gear and weapons together as he awaits battle with the enemy. There are even lip-locks between women, a very nice one between a possessed Sheril and Terri..Terri, horrified at just seeing her potential boyfriend being beheaded, at first resists, only to slowly succumb to desire. And, Sheril, after the snake "enters" her, shares a kiss with Angela, who lifts her up in embrace. There are obvious homages to the first film like the lipstick's appearance, and another "dance of death" as Angela provocatively performs for the Catholic kids who were dancing away to rock music shortly after their stern disciplinarian, Sister Gloria stepped away for a moment. We even have a beheaded victim using his head as a basketball, dribbling and shooting hoops! While attaining the same cheesy, gory, zany, sleazy spirit of the original, Trenchard-Smith has a far better cast of young adults, who aren't so annoying, with far superior special effects. And, the film isn't completely confined to Hull House, which separates it from being just a clone of the original. If you can accept this insane film's tone and aren't offended by the joyous swipes at Catholicism, then there might be some fun to be had here.
