Demons
Directed by Lamberto Bava
Horror movie audience members turn into bloodthirsty demons in this essential Euro-horror entry from Lamberto Bava (Mario Bava's son) and co-writer Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, OPERA). When a young woman begins to suffer the same symptoms as the possessed subjects of the film, she attacks other patrons, turning them into murderous monsters too. Gruesome gore, a killer 80s punk and heavy metal soundtrack and the film's vivid giallo-meets-new-wave look turned DEMONS into a cult classic, begatting several sequels including DEMONS 2 and THE CHURCH. Contains strong language, violence and gore.

Meh. Had some good things about it. The soundtrack was rockin and the women were gorgeous but the sound editing was dreadful and the back and forth tone change from serious to goofy back to serious was
The first half was bold as hell, but the minute the pimp got it, the second half dragged and fell into the usual 80's horror tropes. The Black dude making it out alive after leading the resistance would've been a far better ending
Demons is about as much fun as House was for me. It's a pseudo zombie film that takes place in a theater and is centered around a dope rock and metal soundtrack. This film doesn't try to be a heartbreaking tale like Train To Busan but it does deliver on some cool gore and some awesome demon zombie effects. So for that, I admire this film. It may not be a favorite of mine but it could definitely be a recommendation from me.
Cult classic b rated horoor.
great stuff, a classic
