Demons
★★½
Demons starts off pretty boring like a lot of these 70’s/80’s Italian movies. Then, tack on the terrible score, cheap set design (the mannequin on the motorcycle is almost enough to get me to turn it off), and the terrible dubbing/dialogue where everything sounds like a stilted exclamation, and see what you get. The premise behind this is that some guy in a weird mask has handed out invitations to a free showing of an unnamed movies at the Metropol theater. However, once the movie that they are screening begins, it seems a bit better than the one that we were already watching.
It perks up a bit at the half hour mark when we get some decent metal and some pretty out there and ridiculous effects. But even here where over-the-top gore stuff is the happening left and right, much of the scenes here look hard to take seriously, like it’s intended to be a comedy, but isn’t funny.
It dies down again after that, consisting of a lot of the “waiting and running” scheme of stranded zombie fare, at this point the highlight of the movie is probably the character Tony.
Towards the end it perks up, with “Kathy’s back”, hearing Accept, and most of the sword scenes during Accept are pretty watchable.
