Talking to a fellow IMDber about a number of Horror films starring "scream queen" Linnea Quigley that I have recently seen,I got told the non-Quigley Night of the Demons titles were actually very good.After watching the excellent New Zealand Horror Housebound on Netflix UK,I searched around for other horror films that were on the site,and I was happily surprised to discover that the second film in the Night series had recently been put on,which led to me getting ready to spend a second night with the demons.The plot:After a mass, mysterious killing took place at a disused funeral parlour 6 years ago,the event has entered local folk tales,due to the police finding all the dead bodies of the victims, apart from Angela-who most of the towns people believe got taken to hell by demons. Believing their eldest daughter to be dead,Angela's parents are horrified to get a card with her sig,which leads to them killing themselves (talk about starting the movie on a light note!)With their being no one to take care of her,Angela's young sister Melissa is sent to a boarding school that deals with troubled teens.Running the school on a strict religious rule, Father Bob & Sister Gloria decide that the upcoming Halloween party will not feature any loud music or booze.Sick of having to follow orders,a group of teen rebels decide to stage their own Halloween party,by taking Melissa to where her sister may have died,and performing some fake "sacrifices." Entering the funeral parlour,the group soon discover that Melissa (and the demons) are far from dead.View on the film:For the first half of the film,the screenplay by Joe Augustyn & James Penzi takes a refreshing teen Comedy tone,with Z-boy, Bibi, Shirley, Terri and Johnny's attempts to rebel against Father Bob and Sister Gloria offering a number of hilarious confrontations,whilst also allowing the viewer to warm to each member of the animated gang.Made 6 years after the original,the writers link the movies together in a delicate manner,with some aspects of the original being expanded upon (such as the red lipstick),but never overpowering the new horrors attacking the group and Sister Gloria.Undressing the "holy" image that Gloria & Bob are trying to give the school,director Brian Trenchard-Smith & cinematographer David Lewis dive into the raunchy sauce,as gliding whip-pans display every bit of naked flesh from the stunning girls,and the guys in their underwear! For the comedic elements, Brian Trenchard-Smith gives the title a gleefully wacky atmosphere,thanks to Trenchard-Smith slam- dunking from a basketball playing headless demon spraying blood over the screen,to a kung-fu fighting nun (played by an excellent Jennifer Rhodes.)Soaking the film in burning reds and green ooze splatter,Trenchard-Smith superbly keeps up with the delightfully animated cartoon gore effects with stylish first person tracking shots giving the funeral parlour a strikingly creepy atmosphere,as the group try to survive a second night of the demons.

Is this the first one or the second one? Oh, I see it now, it's 2, the second one. Human sexuality is where babies come from- penises and vaginae all through history in furious union. Just spreading out that DNA across the world. This movie is about animals called Baldies, which is a species of hairless bipedal ape. These Baldies are driven by hormonal impulses to be cruel and engage in sex. Also there is The Holy Ghost plus demons. See, a Baldy writer put forth the script, so that a Baldy producer working in conjunction with a Baldy film director, assembled a cast of Baldy actors to play out the roles of characters, and that's what movies are. Money is spent cocaine is done people are slept with and regrets are then born to haunt for years afterward.

At least the original was creepy and decent acting, with great direction. I honestly couldn't tell if this thing was a horror sequel, or an Evil Dead comedy spin off. It isn't scary, nor creepy. In fact, it was downright lame. We almost turned it off, we were growing so bored.Normally film sequels pick up 2-3 years after the original. This one didn't. And they tried to give it that late 80's fix, but it didn't work. And the opening scene was pathetic. At least the Angela/Demon in the original was creepy. Here, I sat gape-mouthed, hoping the rest of would improve instead of wasting our time. Only Christina Taylor, Zoe Trilling, and Jennifer Rhoades could truly act. The rest of the cast was lame to boot, or way over-acted. And evidently this was low-budget, based on the cheap spookhouse effects and the plastic cobwebbing commonly sold in Halloween stores. And don't forget the super cheesy lipstick tube ending "effect".I truly expected far more than what this thing delivered. Director Trenchor-Smith should not be making Horror films.

Night of the demons 2 7/10 This is the first one I saw in the series. I was surprise that this movie actually grab my attention and entertain me. It has been about five months sense I last view this film. The demons in this film look cooler than the first. Angela is the major bad villain in the film. She is quite enjoyable. Most important note is that this movie was enjoyable enough for me to seek out the prequel, but I was disappointed.Least Favorite parts: BenginngMost favorite Part: Sister and the endingRecommendation: Seeking out cheesy 80's horror check this one out and not worth a purchase. Good movie to watch at a party.
