italian horror legend lucio fulci ( 1927 1996 ) do a great amount of atmospheric and wonderful spaghetti horror during his prolific career and his masterpiece be zombie flesh eater ( 1979 ) and the beyond ( 1981 ) and the house by the cemetery ( 1982 ) and don not torture a duckling ( 1972 ) among many other more or less interesting and noteworthy film from the horror or other genre . his masterpiece have wonderful soundtrack by composer fabio frizzi and great cinematography by sergio salvati and the kind of surreal and infernal ultra gory imagery that will stay inside the mind especially when experience for the first time . but his career have the other side and too and these ultra braindead cheapies that be so painful to watch especially if one appreciate the director at all . demonia be fulci attempt in the nunsploitation genre and at least kind of . it have a historical background a a bunch of sicilian nun be brutally kill in the convent a they have practise something the others judge a evil and satanic . this be show a a flashback and just like in his the beyond and but so much less effectively and it come clear in this very begin that even the gore effect be very bad and stupid in the film . then we jump to the present day a some group of archeologist search for treasure from the historic time ( if i be correct and the mentioned nun kill take place in the sixteenth century ) and naturally neither the villager nor the raise evil spirit like this too much and soon the bloody killing begin . as well a all the possible error and negative side a film can have . there be hardly any positive thing to be say about this piece of cinematic garbage . none of the fulci magic be leave . some of the dream sequence and close ups of frightened eye remind me distantly of lucio fulci but still and there nothing in the imagery that would save the film . the end have some nightmarish scene and image a the nuns return from the beyond and but the beyond show how great that kind of scene can be . the music be also horrible and probably take from a commercial or something like that . it doesn not create atmosphere and terror a frizzi do but be there in order to make the silent scene not to look so dull and which they still be as well a the whole film . what there be the graphic gore and very boring 80 minute . the film almost give a new meaning to the phrase dead boring a it have some laughably long dialogue sequence which almost force to stop the viewing . the character be uninteresting and but fortunately do not over act too much and the plot be nothing too special ( but could have be interest if make by fulci ten year earlier ) and every single element in the piece scream in tired pain a do the viewer too . the film also look very amateurish a if do by a bunch of amateur and it be no wonder this do not even have a theatrical run in italy . the gore scene be also very bad and the effect do not even look real a they do in the classic and create by gianneto de rossi . they be quite sadistic and graphic at time and the body splitting and tongue impaling and be the most memorable example and but still they be not as haunt a in the early film that be also effect by the soundtrack and visuals . now there plenty of gore but hardly any impact . they show more than deodato do in cut and run and for example and but a everything around the scene suck and it be hard to take the horror shock too seriously . the butcher house sequence and however and be a pretty nasty a an idea and have some interest in it and too and and that be also easily among the film most interesting part . and the guy really have a tongue that make gene simmons look green in comparison . demonia be a very and very bad film even a a fan of lucio fulci . it have practically nothing to make it worth recommend and only those very few distant thing mention above and i think it be rather impossible to watch this film again . it be so bad and a unfortunately be the state of fulci career when he be force to make film like these . negative and very barely so .
