Review of Demon Wind (1990) by Mark P — 30 Mar 2008

Dude takes a drive through the hills with his girlfriend because he feels drawn to some old farm that belonged to his grandparents, meets up with a bunch of his college friends including a magician who knows kung fu, an old man warns them not to go, they go anyway and accidentally summon some demons.

So yeah, quintessential american straight to video horror. I quite liked this one though! It starts off with some seriously excellent scenes that build a totally savage backwoods horror atmosphere, but it turns into a pretty blatant Evil Dead ripoff pretty quickly, right down to the voices of the demons.

Anyway, this was enjoyable enough. There's some nice gore and annoying characters that get savaged, plus a few cool scenes, like a hatched egg full of maggots. Faceless, but fun.
