Demons (1985)


Listen Later

Supporter Leigh's chosen a cult-classic horror movie this week with Demons from 1985. Directed by Lamberto Bava and produced by Dario Argento, is a classic Italian horror film known for its intense gore, vibrant visuals, and relentless pace. The production took place in Berlin, with much of the action set inside an old movie theater, where a group of strangers attends the screening of a mysterious horror film.

Notable for its high-energy approach and practical effects, with Bava and Argento collaborating to create a visceral experience. The transformation sequences and makeup effects were designed to be as grotesque and graphic as possible, setting a new standard for splatter horror. The soundtrack, featuring a mix of heavy metal and synth-driven music from bands like Motley Crue and Billy Idol, heightened the film's aggressive and frenetic atmosphere.

Plot Summary:

A group of people were invited to a special screening at a mysterious Berlin cinema. Unbeknownst to them, the film they watch is a demonic horror, and when one of the attendees gets injured by a prop mask from the display, she begins to transform into a demon herself. Chaos erupts as the infection spreads, turning the moviegoers into ferocious, bloodthirsty demons. The survivors are forced to fight their way out of the sealed theater while the terrifying situation escalates.
