Demons 2 Directed By Lamberto Bava starring Coralina Cataldi (1986)
Revewed By Goat Scrote
Well crap. It turns out that even if you turn down that free movie
ticket and stay home to eat toaster pastries and watch TV, you won't be safe
from the demons. This sequel is set in a high-rise apartment building, and this
time the demon comes climbing out of a TV set. Apparently the demons were
defeated after the events of the first movie, and the city they destroyed was
walled off. Once again we have a "movie within a movie" thing going
on. The people in the high rise are watching a show on TV about some idiots who
sneak over the wall into the ruined city where the demon invasion happened.
Things go badly for the idiots. Somehow this TV show, depicting the
(fictional?) resurrection of the demons thanks to the blood of their visitors,
allows a real demon to escape through the TV and start infecting people again.

I've found that the best
thing to do with the Demons movies is not to think too hard about them. A few
of the actors from the first movie are recycled in completely different roles,
including Tony the pimp (played by Bobby Rhodes) from the first movie, who
is now a personal fitness trainer. I got all moist in my bikini area when I
heard The Smiths and Dead Can Dance on the soundtrack!!

Anyway, some young woman is having a birthday party, she goes to her
room to sulk because she didn’t get the My
Little Pony doll she asked for
or something. I don’t know. All I know is that I cheered a little bit when the
demons pushed their way out of TV-land to get her. She attacks the other guests
and scratches them up, and by now we know how that turns out. Her blood turns
out to be incredibly corrosive, and eats its way through the floor. The bubbly
demon ichor burns out electrical wires and drips onto other residents and
generally causes a great deal of bother and irritation. The infection spreads
and the survivors try to defend themselves. There’s a yappy little demon dog
and a flying bat thing and a slightly stupid-looking child demon and a weird
anticlimactic happy ending involving an abandoned TV studio and a pregnant
couple. The scene in the TV studio seems like it’s leading to an explanation of
where the demonic TV signal was coming from but then never really goes
anywhere. This was a missed opportunity for an ending that could’ve livened
things up a little. The movie isn’t a total waste of time, but it adds very
little to the trilogy and you can safely skip it.
