Does anyone else love Night of the Demons and its sequel (haven’t been able to find the third one) as much as I do? Sure it’s campy and cheesy, but I LOOOOVE it! It’s one of those 80s B horror movies that’s so bad it’s great (though not exactly on the Evil Dead level). I thought I’d bring it to light on here. If you haven’t seen numbers 1 and 2, it’s well worth it, even if it’s just for a laugh or two. I haven’t been able to find part 3 anywhere, so if anyone has the skinny on that, please let me know! I’d be eternally grateful!
I enjoyed the first one, but can’t say I loved it. Haven’t seen the sequels yet, but will check them out. Are you interested in the remake at all? It looks pretty cheesy.
I think my love for this particular series comes from seeing it at a very young age (around 6 or 7), having it terrify me, and watching it again years and years later, it was very nostalgic. The beauty of the sequel is that it takes all of the original's cheesiness and campiness and totally makes fun of it, kind of like Evil Dead 2, although not as good.
As far as the remake goes, how on earth is it that effects made in the 80s look better than effects made now?! I mean compare the 'Freddy coming out of the ceiling' scenes from the original 1984 NOES to the (garbage) 2010 remake. The 2010 version looks entirely laughable! That's kind of how I think the Night of the Demons the remake will plan out. It'll be unoriginal and uninspired like 99% of horror movies made today, but I'll still rent it just to see.
It's all about the money… spend less, make more. *sigh*
I'm compiling a list of horror flicks to watch on Halloween, so I'll try and find all the sequels!
Finally got around to seeing the remake. I was surprised that it wasn't as terrible as I'd thought. I actually found it pretty entertaining, aside from the horrible CGI effects. Seriously, when I'm Queen of the World, cheesy CGI will be banned, along with autotune. It was pretty silly, but I think they captured a lot of the charm from the oringinal. I give it a C+/B-.
