Demons (1985)

      HEY! just watched Demons, an Italian horror movie from '85 directed by Lamberto Bava.  The movie is about this group of people that get invitations to go to this theater to watch an unknown movie.  So they all go to the theater and end up watching a horror movie about people that become demons because they put on a mask that they found.  Simultaneous to the movie, a girl becomes a demon in the bathroom, because she put on a mask that was displayed in the lobby. HA! So this chick ends up creating a chain reaction of people become demons, by infecting one. 

      Overall it was a really enjoyable movie.  Tons of gore and brutal scenes, unlike I have ever seen before. Like blood dripping out of the persons fingernails as they become longer and sharper. The variety of characters was NEAT,  including a black pimp and a blind guy.  The overall acting wasn't great, but I didn't go in expecting Academy Award winning shit, so it didn't bother me!


      Although I have only seen about three Italian horror movies, it is becoming clear how different they are from American horror movies.  Different in a good way!  There really is no limits in the minds of the directors.  They will do anything to trigger the viewers fear senses in ways you cant imagine.

      Oh, and the soundtrack to this movie was awesome. Including songs from Billy Idol and Motley Crue. Also the main theme song of this movie was fucking awesome, listen for yourself!
