This 'DEMONS' a clone of first, but still entertains nonetheless...
DEMONS was an entertaining gore-fest; DEMONS 2 is much of the same set in an apartment building, but it's still entertaining, very bloody and gory, and downright creepy at times. This film is also quite campy like one reviewer already stated, at times funny, but creepy enough to make it at least memorable.
The story starts with the day of lead character Sally's birthday, and many of her friends have come to help her celebrate her party. Many of the apartments occupants are fixated on a cheesy horror movie where some kids are sneaking into an abandoned city section where the last film took place (I am guessing that's where it is). There's also some actors from the first DEMONS film, Urbano returns as the weight trainer and he's in his usual commanding but silly form, and the security guard in this film was the driver in the car of cocaine addicts in the first film. Both of them ultimately meet a grim fate in the movie. Sally is not a happy camper with her dress for the...
Teenage angst with fangs
It's your birthday party - you have guests coming over, you don't know what to wear, you hate your dress, your hairs a mess, you hate the thought that your EX may be coming over.
What do you do.
Watch Telly! Sally leaves her guests to party and gets engrossed in a movie showing the apocalypse left behind by the first infestation being rooted at by a gang of nosy kids.
They find a body in the movie of a derelict demon and through an act of stupidity bring it back to life.
Out of the telly and into our Sally who then proceeds to munch on her party guests.
Excellant?
You bet!
Trapped in a technoligically advanced building the crazed teens sniff out all the tenants and go about getting them all converted, you will see some of the same characters from the first but don't be alarmed, the story itself is different.
The infected demon dog was great!
DOWN BOY!
Good Sequel to Horror Classic
Demons 2 is the sequel to Demons which featured patrons at a theater being mysteriously trapped and transformed into demonic creatures. Demons 2 starts off with a high rise apartment full of people going about their lives until an unhappy teen (played by the director's daughter) at her birthday party goes off on her own and watches a TV documentary of what happened the last time the demons made their appearance. A demon featured on the show actually enters the room of the girl and transforms her into a demon. This starts the ball rolling for more and more transformations. The building's security system then goes haywire and traps all of the tenants inside as well as destroying the telephone system. Filled with splatter effects and enough atmosphere to give a few chills, Demons 2 is a satisfying sequel although there are some bad spots such as one "scary" demon who bursts from an infected child's chest. The demon looked more cute and cuddly than menacing. Also puzzling...
