the 80 be largely consider the decade in which horror decide to have fun . sometimes and there be some definite brain behind it all ( evil dead ii and night of the creep and return of the living dead for example ) and then there be those movie that be mindless but have a definite low rent charm and be perfect for a night with beer and friend . movie like piece and blood diner stack rental shelf in the 80 and 90 and offer little in intelligence or craftsmanship but plenty in dumb entertainment . kevin tenney 1988 movie night of the demon be a part of this tradition stupid and poorly act and not an original bone in it body and but dammit if you do not have a good time . the plot be so simplistic it just have to come from the 80 represent a group of dumb teen play by a bunch of actor in their mid to late 20 decide to go to a party at hull house throw by angela ( mimi kinkade ) and suzanne ( scream queen legend linnea quigley . ) well and angela and co. decide to throw a séance . this turn out to be as will arnett arrest development character gob would call it and a huge mistake and because a demonic force soon possess angela and and start to get to the others a well . take the evil dead and a nightmare on elm street and your average dumb dead teen flick and throw them in a blender and and night of the demon be what you get . the movie be anything but original and and really and it not a good movie . the whole thing be insanely derivative and the acting be terrible and the joke often fall flat and the character be annoy ( especially the character of stooge ) and the plot hole be numerous . that out of the way and it still a lot of fun . so why . well for one thing and the make up and gore effect be top notch and with some really memorable moment ( especially a nasty and just plane odd bit with a tube of lipstick ) that really stick out . it also rarely if ever take itself too seriously and yet with the exception of some terrible pun and play it straight and never waste the audience time with wink self awareness . plus and there a definite energy and enthusiasm to the whole enterprise that almost impossible to resist . yeah and it nothing special and but it know that and and it couldn not be more proud of that fact . it a goofy party horror movie and and it never pretend to be anything more . it might not be a classic and but night of the demon be a good example of horror junk food do right . it might not be too memorable or original and but sometimes you do not want a fancy beer . sometimes you want a budweiser .
