Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe building used for the exteriors of the Metropol theater still stands in Berlin. It's a club called Goya that's been host to several horror conventions thanks to its appearance in this film.
- PatzerAt the end scene during the motorcycle chase, Nina's demonic character is not wearing any demonic makeup.
- Crazy CreditsThere is a jump-scare about halfway through the credits as a character turns demonic.
- Alternative VersionenUK cinema and video versions were cut by 1 min 5 secs by the BBFC with edits to eye gougings, a hand being mutilated in the wheel of a bike, a demon vomiting blood and bile on a woman, closeups of a woman's teeth falling out during her transformation into a demon and a scene where cocaine is scraped off a woman's breast with a razor-blade. Some cuts were restored for the 2000 DIVID release (minus 42 secs from the cocaine scene) though the Platinum DVD, released at the same time, mistakenly featured the uncut print. The cuts were fully waived in 2004 for the reissued 'Director's Cut' Platinum DVD.
- VerbindungenEdited into Cent une tueries de zombies (2012)
Ausgewählte Rezension
My status as a film buff seems to exist in two separate states. On the one hand, I will wax lyrical about the subtle genius of Godard, Fassbinder, and Bertolucci. I'll watch pretentious European art-house cinema of the most stereotypical variety without even a hint of irony. I will regard Ingmar Bergman as a literal god-figure to worshiped in all of his glory. On the other hand, I will spend forty-plus dollars on a blu-ray of Dario Argento's Phenomena and gush over the sheer lunacy of B-movies. Demons (or Demoni, in its native Italy) is everything a geek like me could want. Gratuitous gore and violence, questionable dubbing, explosions, and a kick-ass eighties soundtrack. Co-written and produced by Italian horror maestro Dario Argento (Suspiria, Deep Red), Demons came from Argento's desire to create a purely commercial film after tasting such success with 1978's Dawn of the Dead. Thus, Demons is a film with little in the way of a coherent plot or deep characterization. And yet somehow it manages to be wholly appealing at the same time. The plot, which follows the spread of a zombie-like form of demonic possession spreading through a Berlin movie theater, exists solely to facilitate the numerous action and scare sequences. The score by Argento regular Claudio Simonetti (of Goblin fame) manages to be exciting, creepy, and perfectly suited to adrenaline-soaked visuals. This film is entertainment, pure and simple. To anyone looking to get into B-movies or Italian horror (or better yet, both) I highly recommend this film as it's a very accessible entry point into both genres. Just sit back, open a can of Coke, shut your brain off, and prepare to have the time of your life.
