Dämonen (1986)
5KDämonen: Directed by Lamberto Bava. With David Edwin Knight, Nancy Brilli, Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni, Bobby Rhodes. A group of tenants and visitors are trapped in a 10-story high-rise apartment building infested with demons who proceed to hunt the dwindling humans down.
“Lamberto Bava returns just one year later to bring us a sequel to his own gorefest in DEMONS. Really more of a do-over than a sequel as the first one took place in a movie theatre, while this one takes place in a high-rise apartment building. Not as gory or intense as the original and while I have gave them the same rating I donu0026#39;t think as good as the original. But, still filled with some great effects with Sergio Stivaletti returning to assist with that aspect. With a script from the same screenwriters in horror legend Dario Argento (also producing), Bava, Franco Ferrini and Dardano Sacchetti they do borrow heavily from the first film and I feel this film was greenlit almost instantly leading to not exactly a whole lot of freshness in the material.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis time around Sally (Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni) is having a birthday party at her place in the apartment building. She has invited all her friends. While the party is hopping she has a bit of a meltdown and goes to her room. There she watches a horror movie that literally comes to life. Soon everyone in the high-rise must try and stay live from the attacking demons.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome bad acting like the original, but not of the same amazingly brutal level…but close. Some good music from Simon Boswell including a great, almost heroic theme while the opening credits run.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCertainly worth a watch especially to gorehounds. I think a good follow-up to the original. Also starring Argentou0026#39;s 10 year old daughter Asia in her feature debut and Bava himself has a cameo as Sallyu0026#39;s father. Not to mention Tony the Pimp or Bobby Rhodes returns. This time he plays Hank who owns a gym in the building.”
