Summary: classic italian mayhem
Review: cool italian zombie film from the early 90's made in the spirit of the late 70's/early 80's gore heyday.these particular zombies are former black slaves,which is a different spin in this genre.i really liked the make up and atmosphere of their scenes.on the other hand,most of the "acting" is atrocious(not unique to italian horror by any means),thus the 3 star rating.if you are an established italian horror film fan,add one star and consider this for your collection.

Summary: More gore garbage from Italy
Review: Italian horror films are either really good or really bad, and the really bad ones are really entertaining for laughs or just painful to watch. This is one of the worst of the bad. Not even good to laugh at. Its more poor acting, more poor special effects, and more poor directing. This was released as Demoni 3 in Italy (a supposed sequel to Lamberto Bava's Demoni and Demoni 2), but don't let that trick you into buying this garbage. Only for the most die hard Italian Horror fanatic.

Summary: LENZI'S zombie are unique!! good lil zombie gem!!!!
Review: the horrid acting from 95% of the cast would have destroyed this film if it didn't have anything else going for it but UMBERTO LENZI is the director so i promise u its worth your while! Lenzi gives us some really spooky atmosphere & score/some errie visions/some classic gore scenes/some Lenzi'ish good artistic camera direction/ & most of all some very original creepy looking ZOMBIES! i mean it when i say original & unique these zombies stalk there prey like a slasher killer. they don't want brains they don't even want to eat humans period these zombies are on a personel murder mission & believe me they pretty much suceed!!!!! anway i love this cheezzy good/bad zombie flick simpley because i love the cannibal god himself UMBERTO LENZI & his unique/fun take on zombies!!! p.s. fellow horror fans if u find this flick any fun u will love UMBERTO LENZI'S "NIGHTMARE CITY" he says its not supposed to be a ZOMBIE flick but us true zombie heads have taken it in as another great unique take on an everlasting genre!!!!!!!!!!! later on fellow horror fans!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: classic piece of junk
Review: this is suppose to be a sequel to the cult hits DEMONS 1 and DEMONS 2 but i would not consider this a sequel at all!! demons 1 and 2 were both great movies in my opinion and are worth checking out but black demons is truly horrible! very very very slow paced movie with hardly any action or victims. takes forever for anything to happen in the film. from looking at the cover i thought at least there would be a high body count or some creative kills or anything for that matter but there wasn't.
this is a must avoid movie unless your lookin for somethin to kill time i suppose, i was very disappointed!

Summary: Crap title, creepy little movie...
Review: Unlike everyone else I actually thought this was rather a good, spooky little film, almost a fable. The resurrected slaves thirsting for revenge are disturbing and there are quite a few tense moments as they (very very slowly) pursue our hapless protagonists round a secluded plantation house. The Macumba backdrop and Brazilian setting are effective and atmospheric, and the ritual music sounded very authentic to me. The film has a somewhat dreamlike aspect, (though this is mainly due to inert pacing). There are a good few minuses in addition to the poor pacing: the zombies are dispatched with desultory ease in the last reel; the acting is generally very poor - tho it might have been better if Mr Lenzi had allowed his actors a second take in scenes where they fluffed their lines! - and the gore effects are also poor and unimaginative. Or I should say 'effect', singular - an unconvincing eyeball-gouging done to a very rubbery fake head in extreme close up. And why do the (blinded) slaves stop at one eye each time? The characters display little commonsense at any point in the narrative; even when one of the girls is confronted by an axe-wielding zombie (having wandered off into the forest 'for a walk'), the others refuse to take their plight seriously: 'Perhaps you just imagined it,' they suggest to her after she has returned, implausibly. The dialogue is annoyingly muffled and far back in the mix, and then the music blares out very loudly indeed, making it an unsatisfactory late-night watch if you have thin walls & don't like annoying the neighbours, though on the plus side, the widescreen transfer is good-quality. But still, for all its shortcomings, I thought it had an atmosphere in common not so much with Romero et al as with earlier (and rather better) Voodoo-themed movies such as White Zombie and I Walked With A Zombie.

Summary: Still..can't get into Italian horror movies!
Review: With the exception of "Demons" and maybe "Demons 2", all these Italian horror films just do not impress me.The acting is always poor, the zombies or monsters always look fake, the stories are very hard to follow, or too boring to even care..and the dubbing is terrible. Black Demons has everything that i mentioned above and more..no suspense, no horror or scary moments in the film, no good looking women (that's a surprize being an italian film)and the soundtrack in the movie is horrible. Zombie fans...Even if you saw every zombie movie there is, good or bad, this STILL should NOT be on your list of movies-to-watch!
