Night of the Demons

I would not say that this was the BEST movie I ever saw. But it was a decent B movie with some comical acting coming in to play a lot. Angela played by Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie) is throwing a huge Halloween party at the New Orleans' infamous Broussard Mansion, which surprisingly there are tons of rumors swirling about what really happened there decades ago which is the lure to why people are attending the party. But as the Halloween get under way the party gets crashed and everyone has to go home, but Angela and her friends get locked in where they find discover a horrifying secret that they have to try and survive from. Their phones don't work the gate get mysteriously locked and there is no why out, they have to stay there to morning and hope they live.
While this movie isn't the best movie I saw this year, I did jump once and laughed more than expected,and you do get some nudity. The acting was horrible and so was some of the acting choices ex. Edward Furlong (Terminator) who looked bloated all over thought out the movie, and casting Shannon Elizabeth to play a twenty something when she is close to forty is funny because they have to use heavy makeup and you can tell. Not a great take on demons and offers up way to much blood and gut, but as long as you're not expecting much, like I was when I picked this up to rent, go for it and rent it. It was a good B movie and did have many comical scenes that will get some laughs out of you and the ending is a kind of a surprise, but don’t hold your breath for this movies to scare the shit out of you because you won’t get it with this movie. This movie was a remake of the 1988 version by the same name.

  1. Knowing Shannon Elizabeth was a main character in this movie gives me an idea of what this movie might be like. Not that She's "typecast" per se, but after American Pie, she might struggle to land a more "serious" role. Thanks for telling me she's close to 40...I am feeling much better now! :)
