I have watched this 1988 movie once before, but must admit that I have entirely forgotten the storyline, and thus I opted to sit down and watch it again here in 2023, as I had the opportunity to do so. I should say that the demonic face on the movie's cover does come off as being very memorable.
The storyline in "Night of the Demons" is pretty straightforward, and very archetypical for a late 1980s horror movie, for better or worse. I have to admit that I am a sucker for movies like this, and found the 1980s to be a great decade for the horror genre. So yeah, I enjoyed what writer Joe Augustyn and director Kevin Tenney delivered with this 1988 horror movie. It is a an entertaining storyline, though I guess some people might consider it a bit slow paced to start out with. But writer Joe Augustyn was good at setting up the premise of the demonic infestation.
The acting performances in "Night of the Demons" were good. It wasn't famous actors and actresses, though. But the cast put on good performances in portraying their characters and the demonic entities.
Visually then "Night of the Demons" was good. Sure, this was a late 1980s movie, and the effects show that. But I enjoyed that, because there was attention to detail, and the demonic entity designs were actually interesting for what they turned out to be. It was funny, however, how the demon in the black dress sounded very similiar to Dr. Claw from the "Inspector Gadget" cartoons when it was speaking.
I have also watched part two, but don't think I ever got around to watching part three.
The 1988 movie "Night of the Demons" is an enjoyable horror movie, and it is well-worth watching. It is, in fact, a movie that still is very watchable today, 35 years after it was released.
My rating of "Night of the Demons" lands on a six out of ten stars.
