Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene Aug 18, 2025
The fact that this is a delirious dive into the demonic that serves as a superb zombie movie just as easily? That’s like the finest sauce for an exceptional feast. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Setting a horror movie in a cinema is nothing new, of course, but I like how the moviegoers in Lamberto Bava’s Demons–these marks, these fools–have been sucked into the freak tent without even having been mesmerized there by an able barker. Go to Full Review

Everything eventually comes together in this ballet of violence and zombie gore. Sure, the story is a bit derivative, but it works and its fun, so it’s easy to just go with it. Go to Full Review
Jeff Beck The Blu Spot Aug 13, 2024
3.5/5
Using its basic template of people trapped in a theater with the titular creatures, it's able to utilize its wild makeup effects & ridiculous story elements to great effect to deliver a highly-entertaining, over-the-top horror experience. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Oct 30, 2023
A gleefully over-the-top splatterfest that is one of that decade’s best genre films... Go to Full Review
Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Sep 24, 2023
4/5
The premise itself is enough to excite a horror fan, only for the nightmarish narrative to both honor core elements of zombie movies while also reinventing everything audiences might expect from the mythology. Go to Full Review

Ron S Nov 12, 2018 Didn't finish it because it was a bad zobie B movie. The story was the issue.
Leia R Oct 26, 2018 Demoni - I did like this film . Lamberto Bava tried very hard I give him an 'A' for effort. My enjoyment of 'Demons' I do not think was directors Brava or screen play writer Dario Argento intended goal for there audience. This film was over the top in many ways . It was so absurd I found my enjoyment of the film in terms of extremely funny a laugh-out-loud moments. The best scenes in the movie are laugh-out-loud funny. The characters acting and stereotypical 'The Pimp' , 'The Jocks' , 'The Blind Man' going to (Watch) a movie he is BLIND, the "Young Delinquents" on cocaine had me rolling in the isle laughing my A.s.s off. The special effects were quite good but also so over the top as to be humoristic. The action sequences in the climax of Demons was so antic & uproarious I about pissed my self in my hysterical outburst of insane laughter . 'Demons' is in the same B movie vain as 'The Toxic Avenger' so 'ludicrous' that the 'Demons' is a must watch horror film . It is hysterical. Amusing. Divertingly entertaining. 8 /10 See more
Sep 12, 2018 Campy, gruesome fun!
Theodore M May 7, 2018 Fantastic film. Of course, some of the lines are a bit 80s (a bit cheesy and statements that didn't flow) but the overall effects, music, and pace of the film were nicely done. I feel this film is underrated and should be watched by many. See more
