Summary: Weak follow-up
Review: Remember DEMONS? Of course you do. I know its tempting to buy the set, but you'll be better off if you stick with the original. Made shortly after the original, DEMONS 2 seems awfully predictable and the whole concept tires quickly, especially if, like many horror films, you try to watch both back-to-back. Deomns spread, demons kill, etc, etc, etc.
Set in a high-rise apartment instead of a movie theater, a horror film is again to blame for spreading demon-itis. It's a little fun to see many demon-ized actors from the first film re-used in this film - I still don't know if it's an homage or just a cost-saving measure - but it's ultimately more distracting than amusing. The special effects are hokier in this film and the scares are few and far between. The claustrophobia of the theater doesn't hold up in the high-rise and the viewer gets bored. 91 minutes seem about 60 minutes too many in this disappointing rehash. If you do buy it, however, at least try to enjoy the dopey guy dancing at Sally's party - now that's horrifying!

Summary: Turn off the TV!!!!!!!! MOOOOOOVEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Review: The idea is more original than its previous chapter, DEMONS, but the final work is a bit weaker. The idea of demons coming out of our televisions is a warning to us as audience: careful with what you're watching, today's TV is trash! Great incipit but the movie loses its inventive and gets a little boring and redundant, keeping good special effects anyway (we're talking about 1986). Great performance by Corallina Cataldi Tassoni, the first demon. Her colleagues are best forgotten. Suffocating building. Juicy cakes. Pregnant girls. And a baby...
Anchor Bay (bravo!) presents the movie in Widescreen (1.66:1) in English DS 5.1 (same as Demons). Brilliant audio commentary by Bava, Stivaletti and Curci. A theatrical trailer is the only extra feature.
Not as funny as the first chapter, but 100% pure Italian Horror! Buy the two together and watch it among friends

Summary: An improvement over the FIRST film but it still disappoints!
Review: The original DEMONS was a hodge-podge of senseless violence, and gore. The sequel is pretty much the exact same thing only with a few minor improvements.This time around the action takes place in a BULLIT-PROOF building. A young woman sits infront of her television set watching a movie (or documentary) about DEMONS. The demon comes out of her television (VIDEODROME style) and possesses her and I think you can guess the rest. More of the same brainlessness of the original with slime and blood to boot. The films saving grace is a very young, very innocent looking Asia Argento and the film does offer a few sudden surprises. However, a couple of scenes are laughable at best. The DEMON dog scene is attrocious as is the scene where a DEMON claws it's way out of a child's chest. Both of these ideas would have worked had they put more care into it. The DEMON dog looks as real as LEE PRESS ON NAILS and the latter demon looks like a minion right out of GHOULIES 2. Many have called the DEMONS series GUILTY PLEASURES and BRAINLESS FUN. I prefer to just call them BRAINLESS. Unless wasting 90 minutes of your life watching junk like this is what you consider as FUN.

Summary: I don't understand how anyone can like this
Review: This movie is not scary and sloppy efforts were made by everyone! I didn't even laugh at how bad it was, I was just angered. But I guess that's my fault for renting it and not listening to the reviews and just wanting to see gore.

Summary: Great movie you should buy it
Review: This movie isn't as good as the first one but still is worth watching. This movie is filled with some cool zombies and the dog that turns into a zombie wich was pretty cool.

Summary: Triumphant sequel to Lamberto Bava's original classic DEMONS
Review: This sequel to 1985's DEMONS is a classic in it's own right. While not as good as the original, it perfectly accentuates the mood and atmosphere of DEMONS. The acting is also quite well for an Italian film, and it is quite scary as well. The demons themselves are horrifying, and the make-up and special effects are top-notch. This time, a woman at her own birthday party storms into her bedroom in a rage, and locks the door- apparently upset over something. What, I can't remember. But she turns on the TV, and watches a horror movie while sulking on the bed, and soon, a demon pops out of the screen, only to turn her into a demon as well. It seems that even if you get touched by a demon or it's blood, you turn into one as well. So, of course, when she comes out of the bedroom, she goes on a rampage- killing nearly everyone- and turns them into demons. It also seems that the apartment has bullet-proof windows- which means that the people trapped inside cannot shoot or break their way out. This film, produced by Dario Argento, is a great example of classic Italian horror- just as the DEMONS was. Even though it repeats the same idea of the original (except that DEMONS was in a movie theater) and is not completely original, it is still exciting to watch as the demons chase after the poor tenants- who are frantically trying to get out of the building! Anchor Bay has done a wonderful job on the DVD of DEMONS 2. The presentation is in widesceen, which is clear with hardly any scratches visible to me. The sound is also great, and included is an audio commentary with the director and others. Included is: -Widesceen Presentation
-Theatrical Trailer
-Cast and Crew Bios
-Audio Commentary with Lamberto Bava and others

Summary: DEMONS 2 is just a bit better than DEMONS
Review: Well, after seeing the atrocity known as DEMONS I heard how DEMONS 2 was a bit better and my being an Argento fan (he produced the movie) and all I decided to rent DEMONS 2. I will admit it's a bit better (my actual rating for this movie is 2 and a half) but it should not have been made in the first place but that's show biz. The story is about a 16 year old named Sally (Coralina Cataldi Tassoni) who is having a sweet sixteen party but when she takes a break from her party to watch TV a demon from a documentery about what happened in the first DEMONS comes out of the TV and possess her and the rest of the movie which is set in a glass high-rise apartment building (with bullet proof glass)is basically demons gobbling up the people in the building. The movie still has a lot of gore and blood but unlike the first DEMONS there is not a huge abundance of it.Thank goodness. And the characters in the script are not as dumb as the ones in the first DEMONS though don't misunderstand me, it's still a poor script. And there is hints of good direction but not enough to merit being a half way decent movie. But if you insist on renting it have some beer or hard liquer next to you. Kidding. By the way Asia Argento, Dario's daughter, is in the movie.

Summary: Uggh...even worse than the original?
Review: While the first Demons was a misstep for Dario Argento (who claims to only have "written" the screenplay), this one is worse. Talk about the worst parts of the 1980's. The story takes place in a high tech apartment building in Germany. It introduces a variety of characters, from a pregnant woman and her husband, a teenager and her New Wave party, and a bunch of "staying alive" refugees and throws a bunch of demons at them. The way the Demon's appear is totally ridiculous and nearly de-rails the movie. A kid is watching a horror movie (which is better than the actual movie) and a demon from the movie "breaks" thru the picture tube into real life. If this is the case, how come the demon doesn't appear in all other houses? How come the European version of the MPAA doesn't figure this out? The special effects are fairly good for the budget that is put into it. It also has a decent "New Wave" soundtrack including The Smiths. However, it enforces my theory that 1980's white people can't dance to save their lives. Rating: C
