Night of the Demons (2009) Review by: Ted "Ritualistic" Brown

A group of friends attend a Halloween party held in one of the most notorious mansions in New Orleans, where eight years ago, six people disappeared without a trace, and the owner was found hanging from a noose, as the night progress they find themselves fighting for their own lives from the same evil spirits that claimed the lives of the six missing people years ago in the remake of the 1988 horror classic "Night of the Demons"

As a fan of the original film and also a known fan of Edward Furlong I had been looking forward to viewing this film for some time now, and after watching it I must say I'm pleased. This is a perfect Halloween get together movie to watch with a group of friends, made to watch while munching down on snacks and having some laughs, it sticks to the tried and true, modus operandi of a authentic 80s style sleazy comedy horror flick tits, drugs, and gore, what more could one ask for?

When it comes to remakes, this is one of the better ones I've seen, it really does a good job at capturing the same feel as the original but modernizes it enough for this generation to relate to it better. I found myself laughing out loud many times, and the typical "Why the fuck is she going to the basement" screaming at the television occurred while watching "Night of the Demons" which added to the retro fun immensely.

I also have to mention that this movie has one of the best soundtracks ever, for anyone who is into psychobilly, horror punk, or metal, id would even go as far as to say it is just as good of a soundtrack as "Return of the Living Dead" which in fact is the preeminent horror movie soundtrack in my opinion. Featuring such bands as TSOL, Wednesday 13, Type O Negative, 45 Grave, and more it's truly an epic soundtrack.

The special effects and gore in "Night of the Demons" are nothing short of pure awesome rolled up in sugar and served on a silver splatter. Gore, lots and lots of sweet, satisfying, stomach churning, torn flesh and barrels of blood gore that we all grew to love in the 80s and 90s era of horror. This movie will take you back to when it was ok to be as sleazy as you wanted when it came to making a horror movie, there was very little worry of offending the general public because in all reality this movie was not for them, it was for the die hard and loyal crowds of horror fans who flocked to the films.

If you're looking for a good movie to sick down and watch to get into the Halloween spirit, I highly recommend you watch the remake of "Night of the Demons", it's fun, gory, campy, and at times hilarious, on behalf of The Liberal Dead I give "Night of the Demons" a 8 out of 10, and award for best demon sex scene.

8/10
