40th Anniversary Screening! New 4K Restoration!
THEY WILL MAKE CEMETERIES THEIR CATHEDRALS AND THE CITIES WILL BE YOUR TOMBS...
A masked man offers tickets to a horror movie sneak preview at the mysterious Metropol cinema. When a patron is scratched by a prop displayed in the theatre lobby, she transforms into a flesh-ripping demon! One by one, the audience members mutate into horrible creatures hell-bent on destroying the world! Can anyone escape this gory orgy of terror?
Produced by the maestro Dario Argento and scored by Claudio Simonetti of Goblin, Lamberto Bava's (MACABRE, A BLADE IN THE DARK) DEMONS is a stone-cold classic of Italian horror cinema that revels in the gory excess of its candy-coloured ultra-violence. A pulse-pounding Grand Guignol in an '80s aesthetic of beautiful but inexplicable lighting and rock hits from Billy Idol and Mötley Crüe. A gleefully ludicrous party movie of the highest order, best experienced in a cinema (as do all movies that take place in a cinema) where the gasps and cheers should distract you from the nagging feeling that this demonic invasion, in the safety of this theatre, might just be happening to you... - Steven Landry
