Description
Demons and Demons 2 are the horrific splatter classics produced by Dario Argento (Suspiria) and directed by Lamberto Bava (A Blade in the Dark). In Demons, a masked man hands out tickets to a horror movie sneak preview at the mysterious Metropol cinema; when a patron is scratched by a prop in the lobby, she transforms into a flesh-ripping demon and the audience mutates one by one into hell-bent monsters. In the 1986 sequel Demons 2, the apocalyptic terror continues inside a luxury high-rise apartment, where demons are unleashed through a TV screen at a young girl's birthday party and spread through the building.
