It is Halloween night, a group of young people decide to have a party in an isolated little house, but what they do not know is that demonic forces from the afterlife are about to unleash. A decent horror that does not skimp on blood and splatter effects; nothing exceptional or innovative, but for once a film that, without great pretensions, manages to provoke some healthy scares and some fun moments.

Hell yes Night of the Demons. Shoulda made fifty of these bloody things. The opening credits is always a highlight. So much stupid 80s schlocky fun to be had in this franchise, and never more so than in this, the original.

Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.

"Night of the Demons" is a less than prestigious production and it seems to take much of its inspiration from films such as "The Evil Dead" (1981) with a small group of young people becoming trapped in a less than hospitable abandoned house where unspeakable evil dwells. There are admittedly some impressive make-up effects, but overall there is a listless quality to the whole proceedings and the mediocre shocks and scares just do not provide the sort of exciting pay-off they are obviously designed to produce. The lengthy chase sequences through the many dusty and shadowy hallways of Hull house are hampered by a strangely pedestrian pace and any genuine excitement is noticeably absent in this routine genre film which is much too easy to forget.
