This film reminded me of Fright Night (1985), or maybe Idle Hands (1999) in the way it was a horror with a fair of amount of humour too.

Don't take it too seriously, and I think you'll enjoy seeing the good special effects and some remarkably atmospheric scenes. True, there's not much of a story but the characters are realistically played and with some great interplay between the cast. Especially good are Zoe Trilling as Shirley, Bobby Jacoby as Perry, and Christi Harris as Bibi.

And for gore fans, there are some particularly gruesome deaths towards the end. Funniest parts were the use of supersoakers by the ninja-like Sister Gloria and the gang, and Kurt having his crotch felt by (he thought) Terri.

If you're a fan of the genre, enjoy!

While not as good as the first Night of The Demons, this one still delivers..Its still a good Halloween movie to watch and Steve Johnson returns to handle the make up efx...and mimi or amelia kincaid returns as anglea...I recommend it...you'll get a kick out of the nun with the yard stick LOL

NotD2 is one of the most fun horror movies I have watched in a long time. The story focus' on a Catholic School that decides to have a Halloween Party for the students, however, a group of them decide that the school party is too lame, and decide to have some fun of their own. They go to Hull House, and have their own brand of fun. In the process, they are stalked by Angela, a demon. One by one they are killed and turned to demons, resulting in some of the greatest moments in B-movie cinema. The film is gory and fun, and doesn't take itself to seriously. It's best if the viewer doesn't either. The acting isn't the absolute best, but it's expected for a film of this sort. The visual/demon effects are also quite effective, and the whole movie has a dark, creepy atmosphere to it. Also, there is teen sex throughout the whole film, another cliché for this type of film. In all, I found the film to be satisfying. A good way to kill and hour and a half.

there is not many sequels i like more then the original but i feel Night of the Demons part 2 is a bit better then the first, a group of teens decide to go to hull mansion for a party, and when they get there, i dont think they will be happy with the events. all around i find Night of the Demons great fun to watch i give it 7/10

Wow. This sequel moves almost completely away from the tension and atmosphere of the first movie but still, somehow, manages to be almost as good, thanks to some real kitsch moments and fun ideas.

Angela, kind of head demon nowadays, is back and although the house form the first movie is still the focal point the demons do get a little road trip this time around too. There's more death scenes, some more decent gore and more . . . . . . . . . . super nuns. Yes, you read that right. A super nun who kicks ass in a nun style-ee. Fantastic.

It's things like that which make this movie a whole lot of fun. The super nun, who's also as strict as can be, the religious student with an unhealthy interest in demonology, the dumb characters who you can't wait to see die. Sometimes these things are really annoying but here they just get added to the mix in a way that continues the sense of fun from the first movie (there are a nice couple of links to the first movie as well).

With this and the next movie we have sequels that, while not up to the same standard, are certainly far from awful considering how quickly many franchises start to slide in quality.

'Night of the Demons 2' is the unimaginatively-titled sequel to 'Night of the Demons,' but at least when a film gives you such a big clue as to what it's going to be about, you should know what you're getting. And, unsurprisingly, here you get one night (and some demons).

However, I was a little disappointed at the lack of demons. There's only really one main one and, granted she can possess people to help swell her ranks, but I was expecting hordes of the nasties. Perhaps I was thinking it would be more in line with the Italian horror classic B-movies 'Demons' and its own unimaginatively-titled sequel 'Demons 2.' Despite also having demons in it, 'Night of the Demons 2' was its own movie.

You have the typical mix of obnoxious, over-s*xed teenagers, all of which attend a religious school run by nuns and priests. They hear an urban legend of a haunted house and decide to go and investigate on Halloween. Naturally, rumours are true and they end up unleashing one nasty old demon-woman among their numbers.

It doesn't sound like anything too memorable, but it does have its traits which make it stand out. For a start there are a few nice touches which go against the horror genre's conventions (no spoilers here – you'll have to watch it to find out!). Plus it's surprisingly quite a slow burner. You'll either see it as a plus or a minus at how the plot progresses, but it takes quite a while before the heads (literally) start to roll.

Then there's the plot itself. Normally slasher/horror films are set in one location, however this one seems to bounce its location back and forth between various sets. Again, this can be seen as a positive or a negative. Some may find it refreshing that the story defies the norm, others may find it a bit disjointed and think that it doesn't really have any direction.

There's gore and bits that stand out, but what saves it from being totally forgettable amongst the infinite ranks of similar movies is one character: the nun. Far from being one of God's more passive servants, she kicks demon butt at every given opportunity and, as a result, single-handedly saves the movie from oblivion.

If you like tongue-in-cheek horror with the occasional moment of story brilliance and a nun who wouldn't look out of place wielding an Uzi, then sit down and watch this. As long as you're in a forgiving mood you'll find enjoyment here.

The original is one of my favorite horror movies. It's the epitome of a party movie, and incredibly entertaining. This is nowhere near as good as Night of Demons, but considering it went straight to video it's actually decent entertainment, if you kick your brain to the curb. Like the original, its void of character development and it relies on cheesy entertainment, which it does quite well. The gore is very creative in this one. A jaw is ripped off, someone gets beheaded, and my personal highlight, the weird snake like creature, which strangely happens as a result of possessed lipstick (!) The biblical aspect plays a big part in this movie as well. Jennifer Rhodes is a blast as Sister Gloria. She's a bit of a stickler in the first half, with her overly strict ways, but that turns into kick-ass mode in the second half. Her character is all over the place, and it actually serves the film extremely well. She was a lot of fun. Amelia Kinkade reprises her role of Angela from the first movie. She's older, and not quite as hot. She's still a hoot, though. Cristi Harris makes for a solid heroine, whilst Ben Stiller's wife, Christine Taylor shows up and looks hot. You won't catch me complaining. We have also entered into the realm of the bizarre here. We get balloons, super-soaker's, a nun with martial art skills. It's all very OTT, but quite fun if you let yourself get sucked into it. I would watch this back to back with the original on Halloween night. You'll find your Halloween well spent. If you don't have a party to go to of your own, kick back with Angela!

6.3/10

There are some horror movies that not contribute anything to the genre...And still they're not to be missed. Like the Night of the Demons series ! They're not classics and they never will be...but you sure curse yourself if you miss 'em. This series is just so much fun. It delivers what young horror fans expect. Tons of blood and buckets of gore, loud metal music and gorgeous babes ( we'll come back to that later ). There isn't much of a story or a plot, just some kids who go to celebrate Halloween in the legendary Hull House and...guess what...they raise a demon and bring it out of hell into our world !! This demon has an urban legend attached to her ! She's named Angela and has the honor of being the mistress of Satan himself !! You hear it, no Orson Welles' writing but pure entertainment. The film starts with a scene in which Angela slaughters a couple of Jehova witnesses, so a great mood is set immediately. There's absolutely no tension or atmosphere present in this whole movie, and that's a bit of a shame. The crew of NOTD2 put so much work in the comedy elements that they totally forgot to add a bit of thriller aspects. So it's purely a horror comedy and not every fan appreciates that. I don't mind, though. Sure this film will never rank on top of my favorites list but I sure loved watching it ( ...and re-watching it ) Just don't take it too seriously. The film itself didn't do that neither...

Time for the cast !!! I'm not very much praising their talent because, well..., it's missing for most of them. But they ( and by "they" I mean the girls ) are gorgeous ! Let's honor Angela first. Amelia Kincade is just as sexy as in the original. In her normal form she looks like a Godess and she's perfectly backed up by Bibi, Terri and Shirley...I don't know all their real names but who cares ? They're beautiful and not afraid to show a bit of their lovely bodies. Everybody in this film is horny by the way...

Favorite "rewind" moment : Without a doubt...Angela's erotic dance act at the Halloween party ! Staring with your eyes wide open, I assure you !

I am a bit hesitant to say that this is a sequel that should never have been made. Granted, I do almost feel that way; however, while it was not as good as the first movie overall it does feature a lot of good gore effects. In fact, a lot of the effects in this one top those found in the first one. Still, it is a rather stupid film as well. It just seems to not know if it wants to be a straight horror film, a horror film with light comedic elements or a straight out parody. This sequel does sort of pick up where the last left off and at the same time it does not. Hull House is again at the center of the horror, but Angela from the previous film is basically made the primary demon. In the previous movie she was just one of many, sure she was kind of the face of the film as far as video covers and such, but it was Quigley's character that started the demon infestation in the first film whereas the character of Angela was the first one that wanted to leave. It was a nice touch adding the lipstick from the first one though. Another problem with the film was the film's length. A horror film if it is big budget and serious in tone may warrant more than an hour and a half, but one that gets downright silly should wrap up in an hour and a half. This film was dragging at times as a lot of stuff seemed unnecessary. It is not as if the film needed the extra padding either!

The story, years have passed since the party at Hull House and people claim to have seen Angela residing there. In fact, at the beginning a couple looking to spread the word of God find themselves face to face with her. Well we soon shift focus onto one of the most lax Catholic schools ever recorded on film. A dance is coming up, but one of the girls is going to get a party started at Hull House and she is going to get a young girl named Melissa and who everyone calls Mouse there because she is Angela's sister. Things get weird at Hull House so the partiers are soon headed back to the school where the evil follows them. It soon is up to a couple, a guy obsessed with demonology, a hardcore nun and skeptical priest to enter Hull House to rescue Melissa and conquer the darkness and Angela once and for all!

So yeah, it does sort of follow the first film, but at the same time does enough different to keep things from seeming like a complete repeat of the first film. Still, I found the strange episodes where the film turned into a parody a bit annoying. Stick with one genre please as the high comedic elements detracted from the instances where people were self sacrificing. Then again, those scenes detracted from the parody stuff if that was what the film truly wanted to be. The only actress who returned from the first film is the one who played Angela and she is already looking a bit too old for the role. She could almost pass for Melissa's cool older mom rather than her sister. I know they made another film, but I have a feeling that the quality would go down further. Not the effects, those were good…just the horror. Probably no traces of pure horror left. Granted the first one had some very light comedic elements, but it was still more horror than anything else. This one has a good bit of nudity too, like the first one, but I give the edge to the first one. The girls in that one were just a bit more attractive, but then I have always been a bit more partial to 80's girls. It was not a good film, but it was watchable. Trim some of the time off and be a bit steadier with what they wanted to do with the comedy and this one would have been more on par with the first film.

I'm a big fan of the original film, so naturally I was a little worried about this one, but it turned out to be a decent sequel. The film boosts good cinematography, a good sense of humour, good special effects, and a decent cast!

I also liked the way the film expands on the story of the original film by giving Angela a backstory through her sister Melissa (Mouse).

Although Night of the Demons 2 is slickly made, the film plays more like a twisted comedy than a horror film but like I said, it's a well-made film and its worth a look!

Night of the Demons 2 (1994) was a highly entertaining sequel that's on par with the first film. Angela (Amelia Kinkade) is back to host another wicked party at the infamous Hull House. Ever since she disappeared a few years back, Angela has become as legendary as the house itself. She's in town looking for some more "kids" that want to party down! Students from a local parochial school meet Angela and accept her invitation, with some nasty side effects. How will the surviving kids deal with Angela and her new minions from hell? Will Mother Superior puck up her yard stick and join the fight against evil? If you enjoy horror films with heavy comedic overtones then you'll want to watch NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 2!

So much weirdness in this film that it defies logic, but in a fun way. The film never takes itself too serious and neither should you, just a fun sequel directed by the Aussie king of exploitation Brian Trenchard-Smith.

Highly recommended.

If you saw the first movie, watch this! Of course, the plot makes no real sense (like the first one did), but the nun makes up for every bad plot point in the movie. Good renting- and several time better than the 3rd movie.

An ambitious sequel, NIGHT 2 shifts back and forth from a Halloween dance at a Catholic school to further antics at Hull House. Several students decide to ditch the school party and raise the roof at Hull House instead. Big mistake. Angela is back, and performs yet another slithery dance (remember that the actress was a ballet dancer). This time around, we have a nun and a priest to add to the merriment, and in fact the nun steals almost every scene she is in. The special effects are still pretty dreadful, but the filmmakers have upped the gore quotient as well as the laughs, which were pretty much nonexistent in the original. The big battle with Angela at the end is the movie's one clever bit of special effects, and well worth the wait. There was a huge lag between the original and this first sequel, and one can see the influence of several bigger-budget horror flicks on NIGHT 2, most notably FRIGHT NIGHT.

2 great things about this sequel. Amelia Kinkade who plays Angela returns and I must say she looks completely different in a good way. Also, the original house returns.

Unfortunately, it seems like we don't get to Hull House until half way into the movie. At least to stay for a while anyways. The actors in this one seem a little more annoying or maybe it's the fact that this movie focuses too much on the comedy part of it. I like when your able to laugh at a horror movie when it's not purposely trying to be funny which was more like the first. This movie tries to be funny and I found it a little annoying.

If you're not expecting too much though and really enjoy the first film, there's no reason why you shouldn't watch this sequel. It's a worthy sequel, but just doesn't compare to the original is all.

This was a film that I'm not entirely sure about when I watched it all the way through. I know it officially when I was in college. The original was always on the movie channels, especially in October. The sequel to this was one I remember seeing. I really like the original so I was kind of intrigued to revisit the sequel. I then gave it a rewatch for the Summer Challenge Series and then now for my Foray through the Fours.

Synopsis: high school students throw a Halloween party in a mansion haunted by a young demon.

We start this off with a couple coming to Hull House. This being where the events of the original happened. It is a rundown and decrepit house that used to be a mortuary. They knock and the door opens. They go inside. They then meet Angela Franklin (Amelia Kinkade) before being killed.

It then shifts to a religious boarding school nearby for troubled youth. It is run by Sister Gloria (Jennifer Rhodes). She collaborates with Father Bob (Rod McCary). At this school there's a group of girls, Bibi (Cristi Harris), Terri (Christine Taylor) and Shirley Finnerty (Zoe Trilling) who are telling a story from the previous film. It is now an urban legend. There are also a couple of guys, Johnny (Johnny Moran) and Kurt (Ladd York), who are spying on them from across the way with binoculars.

Shirley turns her attention to Melissa Franklin (Merle Kennedy). They call her Mouse, which upsets her. It turns out she is the younger sister of Angela. They're scolded by Sister Gloria as it lights out.

Also at the school is Perry (Robert Jayne). He is into demonology and wants to prove that it is a legitimate science. This upsets Father Bob and he wants him to give it up. Shirley steals one of his books while he's distracted.

Later that day, Kurt hits on Shirley and this draws the attention of Sister Gloria, who bans them from the Halloween party that night. Shirley comes up with a plan for a better party instead. She invites all of the girls and guys, also having them convince Mouse to come along as well.

Everyone is freaked out when they learn it is being held at Hull House. Shirley's boyfriend, Rick (Rick Peters), drives them there. Their main event of this party is to sacrifice Mouse to wake up the demons. The problem is that Angela isn't asleep. She moves about the house as members of this group explore. Bibi finds lipstick in the bathroom cabinet and then goes off with Johnny. Mouse is spooked by Shirley and Rick's friend Z-boy (Darin Heames). Things get crazy and they flee back to the school. The problem is that an item brought over the underground stream holds the evil on this property. It is then a fight for survival against these demons who possess those that they attack.

That is where I'll leave my recap and introduction to the characters. I do have to say, this does well at keeping the continuity from the first one, which if you know me, I'm a big fan of. I like that they brought back Angela, played by the original actor. The events are now local lore. I don't mind that Mouse is Angela's younger sister, as from what I remember, we never learn about her back-story. We have the rules of the underground stream that hold them there. The call back to things like the lipstick to the earlier film is also something I like.

There are issues here though with these rules. The big one that I have is that possessed people at the school getting back across the river into Hull House. Or even being able to leave due to the item being taken. I assume they wouldn't want it to be held there. I can understand why Angela wants back for the ending plan. I also didn't like the religious duo that comes up to Hull House. If they're going door to door, they probably live in the area or at least close enough. If not, you can tell no one lives there. It just feels like a cold opening for the sake of early kills.

Something else that doesn't necessarily work is that this is cheesy with choices made. That does feel by design to make this campy. I hate that Johnny knows who to do karate, because I feel like the ending sequence is literally him round house kicking people. I can forgive it for the use of religious artifacts made into make-shift weapons. It doesn't ruin the film, but just something that I noticed. What it feels like is that with the original being low budget and not intentionally being camp, this is staying in that vein.

Let's then go over the acting performances. In general, I do think it's fine. This is part comedy, which explains certain lines. Those are fine. The cast is young, so none of them are great. I did like Harris in her role. She seems like the star, but also not. Seeing her topless was nice. Jacoby was interesting as the guy giving us the research of the entities involved. I thought Kennedy was solid in her role. I'm glad they brought Kinkade back as Angela. She is definitely an icon of horror. It was fun to see a young Taylor in this film along with Trilling. I thought the rest of the cast was fine, they fit what a movie like this needs.

Let's then finish with filmmaking. I'll start with the best part, which are the effects. They're good with what they do. The look of the demons are creepy. I do love the distinct way with the razor teeth. They go brutal at times with the deaths, which is also great. They limit the use of blood. I do have a slight issue with continuity of how some can be cured from possession while others can't. The setting of Hull House is good. I did want more there though. The combination of Catholic school and demon possession is also a fun idea. Other than that, credit to the sound design for the demon voice used for Demon Angela. Credit to James W. Quinn. I also like the Halloween party when it changes with Angela dancing. That song is spot on there. The rest of the soundtrack fits the atmosphere needed.

In conclusion, this film is a step-back from the original for me, but it is still fun. I like sticking with the continuity for the most part and the events of the first film now being an urban legend. There are minor plot-holes that bother me, but don't ruin it either. The acting fits what they needed. I am glad they got Kinkade back as Angela. I'd say that this is well made with the look of the demons, the effects and sound design for those possessed. There are good set pieces as well with Hull House and the Catholic school. Not a great film, but that much of a step back from the original either.

My Rating: 7 out of 10.

I had to watch this film with a horror-obsessed friend for over one-and-half hours and I think I've seen some of the most nauseating scenes in this film recently. A possessed character's bare breasts turned into two hands and attacked her boyfriend -- I will remember that for a long time.

The film has no storyline, no good actor (although as far as I can tell, Ben Stiller's wife is in it), no horrifying atmosphere or even a decent screenplay. It only has some innovative (yes, indeed) demonic behavior scenes which fans of such movies like my friend might enjoy. I didn't see the prequel, so cannot compare.

"Night of the Demons 2" is over the top, silly and entertaining movie that doesn't take itself seriously and neither should you. Among other things, you will find a bootleg American Luka Modric as one of the characters, a scene of a nun gearing up for a war against demons and use of a rosary as a chain weapon against the demons and many other nonsensical stuff. The movie has frequent nudity (and nudity of some really gorgeous ladies, mind you) and it's story, characters and jokes are entertaining enough to warrant a watch. It's in my opinion worse than the first movie, but not by a lot and can still be a good fun if you are aware what you are getting yourself into. Don't expect a masterpiece. Expect fun and stupidity. I must also praise practical effects that are of very high quality. All in all, I give the movie 6.5/10 and I recommend you to watch it if you liked the first one!

With a slightly better script, a slightly better cast and a slightly better director (Brian Trenchard-Smith), 'Night of the Demons 2' is an improvement on the lamentable original; but only slightly.

As in the first movie, a bunch of teens visit a possessed house on Halloween and become victims of the nasty spirit that dwells within. A plucky nun and a boy with a knowledge of demonology, armed with holy-water filled super-soakers and balloons, set out to destroy the evil. Also, like the first film, the action takes a good 45 minutes to get going.

Steve Johnson, who provided the gore effects in the first film, also does the make-up FX for this one, and he does a pretty good job; particularly impressive moments include a woman's tits transforming into demon hands and a wonderful snake creature with a huge lashing tail.

And whilst we're on the subject of impressive moments, let's not forget that the film has more than its fair share of hot babes who shed their clothes at every available opportunity. If you're a red-blooded male, and find yourself tiring of the so-so horror content, then the ample charms of Cristi Harris, Christine Taylor and Zoe Trilling should put a smile on your face.

This one is the best of the trilogy. Angela is back from the first installment. She is looking for more teenage victims on Hallowe'en. Students from a catholic school oblige, including Angela's young sister.

Most of the action takes place at Hull House - a great-looking set for these types of films. This time the evil escapes its prison and the action spills into the school as teens and faculty battle the possessed.

The effects and cinematography are heightened a notch from the first movie. The comedy here is quite funny and the acting is surprisingly good.

It's also fun to see Christine Tayler of Zoolander and Dodgeball fame in an early role.

Another bunch of teen stereotypes (this time from a local catholic school) decides to hold a Halloween party at Hull House, an abandoned funeral parlour on the edge of town (and scene of the events of the first film six years earlier). The group includes the younger sister of Angela, the only one of the kids from the first film whose body was never found (and who urban legend says is now a demon herself). Once the teens arrive they soon start falling prey to the evil that lurks within the crumbling walls...

Although it's not level with the first one, it still has some great moments. The comedy is taken up a notch (but not overdone), and the girls are all INSANELY hot. The guys are (mostly) obnoxious jerks who pretty much deserve what's coming. When the action moves from the funeral parlour to the school it loses some of its hard-won creepy atmosphere; but we're soon back at Hull House for the climactic showdown between the forces of darkness and a bunch of teenage misfits - lead by a ninja nun!

There's a fair bit of female nudity (topless, plus some very brief full-frontal), and the practical effects feature a TON of gore (if any of that offends, obviously this isn't for you). 7/10.

Its been a while since I saw a movie that infuriated me like this one. I cannot believe I actually paid for this piece of junk.

About an hour into the movie l couldn't figure out whether it was a bad comedy or horror movie. And I was also certain that the writers had never seen the original night of the demons. The demons don't crack stupid jokes in the first movie, did the writers think they were being funny or original? It wasn't either of those things. If they wanted to make a comedy or spoof then that's what they should of done, and not ruin what could of potentially been a long running franchise. At this point I would gladly give this movie away.

What's harder to believe than how bad this movie was, is the fact that there's a third night of the demons, meaning that this sorry excuse for a movie actually made money.
