Hell yes _Night of the Demons_. Shoulda made fifty of these bloody things. The opening credits is always a highlight. So much stupid 80s schlocky fun to be had in this franchise, and never more so than in this, the original. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

"Night of the Demons" is a less than prestigious production and it seems to take much of its inspiration from films such as "The Evil Dead" (1981) with a small group of young people becoming trapped in a less than hospitable abandoned house where unspeakable evil dwells. There are admittedly some impressive make-up effects, but overall there is a listless quality to the whole proceedings and the mediocre shocks and scares just do not provide the sort of exciting pay-off they are obviously designed to produce. The lengthy chase sequences through the many dusty and shadowy hallways of Hull house…

As far as 80's horror movies goes this is far from the worst, but it does look like what it is - a mid-budget single-location 80s horror movie. The effects are not bad, certainly, the casting isn't bad either, the directing is a bit over the top at times, but this is a fun little movie, and I am happy I stumbled across it.
