Movie Review: Night of the Demons
Summary: 5 Stars
Story:
Goth chick Angela decides throw a party on Halloween night at the old Hull House. Hull House comes with a gruesome past. Evidently, a series a gruesome murders occurred there several years before. When the party guests arrive they unleash the demons that have been lying dormant. One by one they each fall victim to possession. Will anyone escape?
Review:
Night of the Demons has to be one of the coolest B movies from the 80s. Bad acting, gore, and nudity are all present in this flick. The make-up effects are very impressive and still hold up 20 years later. I actually believed that the party guests were demons. I don't know where they found the actors for this movie. It has to be some of the worst acting ever captured on film. Mimi Kinkade and Linnea Quigley are the only ones with some decent acting chops. I loved how the movie borrowed elements from other films. It mainly borrowed from The Evil Dead. This is the perfect movie to put on during your own Halloween shindig. Don't expect a serious film. The film is absolutely outrageous and is not intended to be taken seriously. So pop some popcorn and have a groovy time! I'm looking forward to the remake coming out this Halloween.
Pros:
Angela's (Mimi Kinkade) sexy dance was one of the greatest moments of the film. The film is extremely low budget, but it was filled with great effects. The strobe light, the lipstick scene, and the possessions were all pretty slick. The film also managed to keep up the creepy atmosphere throughout the whole 90 minutes.
Cons:
It did take about 40 minutes for people to start getting possessed. But that really didn't bother me.

DVD Review for Evil Doll Pictures by Brian L. Hollon
Movie Review: A Low Budget Horror Gem From The 80's!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is one of my Top 5 favorite horror films of all time. Sure it isn't a classic like Halloween or Nightmare On Elm Street but, it has what a lot of them don't have...It's Fun To watch. Now I'm not saying that the previously mentioned films are bad on the contrary. What I mean to say is that alot of times a horror movie although scary can get rather boring after a few viewings. That is what makes this film so great. It is scary yet it has humor, interesting characters, T&A, Excellent soundtrack, Beautiful opening credits & is fun to watch in a group of friends during the late night hours. It never fails to entertain upon multiple viewings. It doesn't have to be "Oscar" material but, lets face it most of us will remember this film long after "Oscar" winning films like Million Dollar Baby are forgotten. My Top 5 Horror Films:
1. Night of the Living Dead (Trilogy)
2. Night of the Demons
3. Nightmare On Elm Street (Series)
4. Evil Dead 2
5. Suspiria
Movie Review: Night of the demons.
Summary: 5 Stars
Angela is having a party, Jason and Freddy are to scared to come. But you'll have a hell of a time. With a crappy tagline like that it just made me want to watch it more.
I thought it was going to be bad but it turned out to be pretty awsome, I watched this film a couple of years ago before it went out of stock but now you can watch this on dvd from Anchor Bay. The story is about a typical bunch of teens who are invited to a halloween party at an old house and each one gets possessed by a demon, if you like this then I also recomend return of the living dead which also stars Linnea Quigley.
My favourite scene is when the asian girl tricks her boyfriend into having sex with him and then ends up chopping his arm off, Im not sure if it happens that way because I haven't seen it in a long time. I think that you should check it out especialy if you like low budget horror films from the 80's but if you don't then your going to have a hard time watching it.
