A special collection of Lamberto Bava and Dario Argento’s DEMONS (1985) and DEMONS 2 (1986). DEMONS follows two young girls who go to a brutal zombie movie and begin to notice happenings in theatre mirroring the action on screen. Soon, half of the audience have been turned into blood thirsty zombies, forcing the remaining patrons to defend themselves from the unholy beasts. Stylish, gory, and bleakly funny, DEMONS is a hugely entertaining horror movie.
Bava and Argento followed up DEMONS with DEMONS 2, which finds an apartment building being overrun by demons that emerge from a television set. Filled with more of the over-the-top gore effects that made DEMONS so much fun, DEMONS 2 is not only a top notch sequel, but also a continuation of Bava and Argento’s playful metaphysical riff on the effects of watching horror films. Both films are presented in their complete uncut versions.
