Démons 2

Aug 21 So not as good as the first film but still decent stand alone film. Different characters and different setting so this can be watched independantly of the first film. Still its an 80s Italian horror so i like it. 7.5 out of 10.

Demons take over an apartment block. Spreading like zombies (in fact, they might as well be zombies), these creatures inhabit an Italian horror film which is badly dubbed, badly voice cast (the chief black bloke from the gym gets an especially duff vocal performance), poorly scripted, badly acted, and populated by monsters in poor makeup with a particularly preposterous mini-monster - this is so bad as to be hilarious. I give it a couple of marks for having some visual style and some decently realised action with some good stunt work. Otherwise, this is pretty dreadful stuff.

I loved the first one, this one is still surprisingly good. It's an 80s low-budget Italian horror movie and it was an entertaining one and very gruesome. It has a terrible makeups as from the first one, but they did totally awesome jobs. Some of the scenes are really terrifying, especially the dog scene which is a bit similar of that scene from The Thing. I can imagine it gave the '80s kids a nightmares, it was actually pretty scary, even scarier than the original. All I have to say that I really, really enjoyed it. This was a pretty brutal movie. My rating: 8.5/10.

Certain films I love while having no explanation as to why...."DEMONS 2" is one of these films. Simply the exact same film as its predeccessor, only set in a high tech apartment building, it lacks a lot of the stuff that makes the first film great. There's no heavy metal on the soundtrack, very little blood, it's not nearly as scary or action-packed as the original, but it certainly makes me laugh. The early stuff with the group investigating the ruins of the city is pretty creepy but this all gives way to some hilarious dialogue, and a classic bout between demons and fitness buffs in the building's parking garage makes me smile every time. Though not nearly as bad as many people say it is, I guess "Demons 2" is enjoyable for mostly the wrong reasons.
