Italian horror auteur Dario Argento produced and co-wrote (with director Lamberto Bava) this gory, nightmarish horror film set almost entirely within the "Metropol," a huge, cathedral-like Berlin cinema showing an invitation-only screening of a rather lame slasher film. The difference, of course, is that the cheap scares on the Metropol's screen are child's play compared to the horrors which soon emerge to lay hold of the unsuspecting filmgoers: when a young woman is scratched by part of a display in the theatre lobby, she begins to mutate into a fanged, slavering creature who then attacks other audience members, spreading the demonic infection until only a handful of survivors are forced to combat rampaging armies of inhuman beasts, making the latter portion of the film resemble Night of the Living Dead. A handful of sequels followed; there's a little "reward" for those who stick around for the end credits. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

    Evil Dead meets Dawn of the Dead, only instead of a mall, the central location is a movie theater. A definite must see for any horror fan who has never seen it. If you like the two movies mentioned before (which happen to be two of my favorites), then I'm sure you'll find this film atleast worthy of a viewing. Not as good as either of those two films, but a film I've enjoyed for 20 years since first seeing it during my childhood.

    Demons is most likely my favorite zombie flicks of the 80's.The acting isn't that great but it is a must see for zombie fans.These were probably one of the first,fast moving zombies.

    This is a pretty good Dario Argentio film, who also made Suspiria and such classics. This is one of those films thats soo cheesy that it makes it good. Also to acompany the cheesiness is good gore, good creepy looking demons. Check this film out!
