I'm a big fan of the Italian scene, and this movie disappointed me A LOT after all the hype I'd heard. Not only is this movie poorly paced and BORING as hell, but the music was poorly concieved and does not fit in at all with the subject matter. Contrary to what everyone says, Demons is rather light on gore and what gore there is is so badly done that it really doesnt even count. The plot was moronic as were about 90% of the casting decisions. Lamberto Bava's only decent efforts I've seen are Blastfighter and Blade in the Dark. Other than that, he's just a hack. A pale imitation of the great man his father was. Bobby Rhodes was cool in this movie though, so I give it stars for that. For the true Italian horror experience, see one of the classics like "The Beyond", "The House by the Cemetery", "The New York Ripper", "Zombie", or "Surpiria". Try and steer clear of this garbage.
