Night of the Demons is a typical 80's horror flick that is very fun to watch with friends. It even has some creepy scenes in it. The one scene that I found particularly creepy is when Angela was dancing in front of the fire with the light machine going on and off. That had an actual surreal effect. The acting was pretty bad and everyone was way over the top in potraying their characters. But there were some pretty funny lines that had me laughing out loud on several occasions. This movie does have an Evil Dead feel to it, though Bruce Campbell is a better actor and was a bit creepier than Night of the Demons. Everybody who has seen this movie talks about the lipstick scene. I will say, that was a very awesome special effect. Very different. Even the little sidestory with the old man and the punk kids was a fun little watch that had a Tales From the Crypt vibe. If you are looking for a 80's horror flick that you want to watch with some friends, this is the one to get.
