Title: When demons walk the earth
Review: "Demons," directed by Lamberto Bava, is a horror film that tells a fairly straightforward story. A mysterious man in a metal mask hands out film tickets to unsuspecting commuters. This sets in motion a chain of events that leads to the unleashing of a plague of demons upon the earth.Bava cleverly uses the film-within-a-film motif to comment upon the horror film genre (this device is more extensively used in the "Scream" trilogy, which I recommend to fans of "Demons"). Also well-used is the claustrophobic movie theater setting. The film is gory and violent, with some real gross-out elements. Although the film's imagery can be absurd, at its best it is exciting, inventive, and genuinely horrific.
