For as much as it wants to be, Night Of The Demons is nothing more than a waste of money. There is nothing worth comparing to the Original 1988 movie. NOTD felt like it was a half ass attempt at doing a decent remake, but fell terribly short, panicked, and sent this garbage straight to DVD. In hindsight i wish it was never released.
The story was simple enough to play with. A group of kids go to a Halloween party, only to have to face down a group of demons. simple stuff right? The original movie was, at best, a decent B horror movie with the right mix of comedy and horror. The remake was an epic fail. The list of reasons why it was awful is plenty, but I'll try to condense it.
For starters, getting Shannon Elizabeth to play the role of Angela was a bad mistake. Hello? she was the wrong person to cast for this movie, and her attempt at acting more than proves it. The music soundtrack was another horrible misfire. Almost every song played throughout the movie felt misplaced and unfitting. Yeah, Type O Negative is cool, but hearing Black No. 1 during the part it was chosen for felt off, and was kinda cheesy.
With all of the bad timing, laughable story, and even worse casting, there were some funny parts. I laughed the hardest at the terrified party goer who asked the best question heard in a bad horror movie recently. "How do you know that Pantry isn't french for fucking death trap?!?!"
With that scene and a few others it made me not so pissed that I wasted a 1.00 on the rental, but didn't take away the let down of seeing one of Fav. B movies being desecrated by the foreign chick from American Pie with the shaved pussy.
If you want to see a Demon have forced anal sex with a chick and turn her into a demon, then rent this flick.
