Demons
Dèmoni
A group of people are trapped in a West Berlin movie theater infested with ravenous demons who proceed to kill and possess the humans one-by-one, thereby multiplying their numbers.
Why it matters
A wild, gory romp that channels ’80s Italian horror’s love for practical effects and theatrical chaos inside a possessed movie theater.
- Lamberto Bava’s direction and Dario Argento’s story fuse giallo flair with demon mayhem—pure genre fan service.
- Claudio Simonetti’s synth-heavy score cranks tension and camp to electrifying levels.
- Practical effects by the KNB team (pre-fame!) deliver inventive gore that still holds up decades later.
- For fans of locked-room terror and ’80s Euro-horror excess, it’s a cult classic with a punk rock attitude and a fever dream vibe.
