Features: Special Edition, DVD, Widescreen
One year after Demons tore its way through the world's gore-loving hearts, Italian horror maestros Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava returned to again unleash a flood of demonic carnage upon the screen. This time, the residents of a luxury high-rise apartment building are transformed into monsters for a gut-spattered siege complete with acid blood, cannibal kids, zombie dogs, and a birthday party gone horrifically wrong. Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni (Argento's Opera), Bobby Rhodes (Demons), and Asia Argento (in her first film role) star in this insane shocker from The Golden Age of '80s Italian Splatter, now newly restored from original vault elements!
"Arty and scary horror flick." Gerry Shamray, Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
"...Bava and co-writer Dario Argento keep things just this side of ludicrous and the result is gory fun." Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

Entertaining sequel to the famous and incredible popular zombie flick Demons. This is basically the same plot except for that the zombies emerged from a cinema screen in the first film. This is a typically stylish, gory but stupid, 80s Italian horror film. The director, Lamberto Bava (son of famed filmmaker Mario Bava) and the producer Dario Argento knows what they're doing and after some slow opening minutes the film never gets dull and looks great all the way through...The film is often laughable and unintentionally funny, but also - surprisingly quite scary in some scenes, like the scene where the zombie in the film-within-the-film spots the girl watching the film and climbs out (in a rather The Ring-like sequence). The makeup-effects are admittedly repellent and disgusting, but in an effective way since some of these zombies tend to freak you out and pray that its intended victims will manage to escape...A fun, gory zombie flick for those who liked Demons - and loves 80s Italian horror films. Expectedly stupid and senseless but also great entertainment with lots of nice gore effects and even some scares and suspense.
