Review of Night of the Demons (2009) by Charlie B — 23 Oct 2010
Having never seen the original I went in with an open mind and nothing to compare it to except the bunch of horror movies that come out on the DTV market. Anyway this film starts a bit interesting and takes its time to develop the characters somewhat but it all slides downhill from there.
After the titular demons appear they don't look that good or scary, more like goofy. Just by looking at the poster of the original you get that chill down your spine feeling so I know that the make-up effects were a million times better.
It also starts mixing horror with a bit of comedy or campiness, which in my opinion ruins everything. The cast did a very good job with what they were given, except for Furlong which looks like he sleepwalked through every scene and looks like he does not belong with the rest of the cast.
Another thing that bothered me was how Monica's character became an expert of everything all of a sudden, very distracting. It might be a good rental to kill time but do yourself a favor and watch the original I know I will.
