Pretty Good

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Wanna see Bigfoot tear apart some biker's genitals? Wanna see Bigfoot rape a 15-year-old girl? Wanna see Bigfoot rip out a guy's intestines and whip people with them? This hidden gem has you covered.Night of the Demon is one of the "best" B-movies i've seen. It's bad, it's gory, has atmosphere and even a sensible plot. The death scenes are quite something to behold, for example in one scene the Bigfoot slams two girl scouts that have knives on their hands together, making them stab each other. The audio is also hilarious due to it's awfulness. At some parts (especially in the death scenes) there's poorly recorded screams and moans added, further increasing the level of cheese.The movie proceeds quickly enough so there's no irritating or boring scenes that you have to sit through. I thought the plot was kinda interesting and well written (in terms of a B-movie that is) and it even had some witchcult/satanic vibes on it. A little.Good movie. Watch it if you get the change. Prepare yourself for cheese. Bye.

I am having trouble trying to decide where even to begin with a review of this movie, but I will say the title of this review is meant in the best possible way. "Night Of The Demon" is an absolute mess of a film in nearly every aspect, but it still works so well I can't bring myself to rate it any lower, let alone not want to rewatch it immediately already.Trying to summarize it neatly is also nearly impossible, because for such a low budget movie the creators tried to stuff as much content as possible into it, creating a plot that is far too complex for what they realized it as. A teacher takes his anthropology class on a trip into the local forest where people have been disappearing and found dead. He believes it is the work of a bigfoot. The entire thing is one long flashback from the professor's point of view, except for the first few and last few minutes in the present. To make things even more convoluted, multiple death scenes are a flashback within that flashback, as is another crucial part of the movie.While I may have made this film sound like a disaster above, all of that just adds to it's charm. This film is probably one of the most violent and gory I have ever seen, and the deaths are truly noteworthy and over the top. The bigfoot rips off limbs (including a penis), stabs victims, makes victims stab each other, decapitates, and most notably swings a guy in a sleeping bag multiple times over his head before throwing him and impaling him on a tree branch. The movie also contains what has to be the only bigfoot on human rape scene in celluloid history, which is actually very unsettling, especially the outcome. The whole thing is very grim and includes infanticide, parricide and a final few minutes which is an absolutely brutal bloodbath.I don't want to spoil all of the little treats this gem has to offer in my review, and believe me, I couldn't list them all if I tried. "Night Of The Demon" is VERY ahead of it's time for 1980 in my opinion, and is one flick that absolutely has to be seen to be believed. The gore is pretty believable, the acting abysmal (which makes it almost feel like a weird documentary), and the lowbrow sleaze found within almost surreal in it's execution. Do yourself a favor and see this at all costs.

Night of the Demon (1980)** 1/2 (out of 4) I'm not going to lie and try to pass this thing off as some sort of masterpiece but it's certainly one of the all-time campy horror movies. Professor Dixon (Michael Cutt), an expert at all things Bigfoot, takes five students to the woods to investigate some murders and soon enough they run into a bizarre redneck woman and of course Bigfoot eventually shows up. If you're looking for a well-made, brilliantly acted, heartfelt film that makes you think when it's over then NIGHT OF THE DEMON certainly isn't for you. If you're just looking for some gory, campy fun then this movie has pretty much everything you'd want plus much more. I'm a sucker for Bigfoot movies and this here is certainly one of the most memorable simply because of how silly it is and because of the fact that it has to be the goriest one ever made. I was really shocked at how much violence and gore was in this thing. We've got people being stabbed, hit with an axe, burned, raped, slammed, clawed and much worse and all of it comes with plenty of red stuff. There are some outrageous death scenes and while all of them are done with low-budget effects I still thought they worked quite well. And just wait until you see what happens to the motorcycle guy who pulls off to use the bathroom. The performances range from fair to poor and there's no question that there are a lot of quality issues. Just check out the error of the "witness" telling the story but when you see what happens to him at the end it doesn't match up with his injuries when he's telling the story. The screenplay really goes off the deep end once we start to get involved with the redneck girl but you have to give the director credit by throwing whatever into the mix and just seeing what happened. NIGHT OF THE DEMON is pure trash but it's oh so much fun.

A few years ago my mother had bought me a DVD called Night of the Demon out of the 5 dollar bin, she knew my love of horror films and thought that the cover looked cool and that I would probably like it. Weird thing is, I never checked it out until recently, years and years this DVD sat on my shelf and I don't know why I didn't check it out earlier. Because when I went onto IMDb for reviews and then onto Amazon, I couldn't believe my eyes, this same DVD that my mom bought for 5 dollars is now selling for 80 dollars on Amazon, isn't that crazy? So my mother picked a true treasure I was guessing. Well, after viewing it, I'm not so sure that treasure is the right name any more, but it certainly has something. I'm an gore fan, I have to admit, the story could be lousy but if there is good gore in the film, I just end up falling for it. Night of the Demon does that for me, while the story, acting and directing isn't up to par, this is a fun movie with the killing scenes. I know that sounds sick, but this is a fun treasure from the 80's with the great senseless nudity, sex, drugs, drinking, stereotypes and violence that I could want.Night of the Demon tells the story of an anthropology class's all-too-successful expedition into the American wilderness to find the truth behind the Sasquatch legend. Along the way, the team learn about the creature's previous victims, uncover the squalid story of a hermit who gave birth to a mutation after being raped by the monster, and finally come face to face with the beast himself.Eighty dollars worth of your time; no, not really, but if you're able to still find it cheap and are a horror fan like I am, I totally recommend this film. This is a crazy monster we have in the film, we go from this light hearted music that sounds like it belongs in an elevator to seeing Big Foot rip a guys hot dog off! You know what I mean, I can't write it on this website. Also this poor girl is getting beaten by her hick father after he suspects her feelings for another man, literally thrashing a belt on her back, now in most horror movies, the dad would be the one put to justice, but it's the girl that gets raped by Big Foot and gives birth to his baby! Now that's a Jerry Springer episode that I would love to see! The whole ending is in slow motion with the sickest kills you will ever see, Saw would cover it's eyes to some of these gruesome kills.It's a very strange film, believe me, it's not for everyone. The direction is a little off and the lighting is absolutely horrible at times, however the reason I forgave this so fast is due to the fact that it seems like the cast and crew genuinely had a great time making this film. I mean there's a scene where Big Foot takes two girl scouts who happen to be carrying knives and pulls their arms towards each other stabbing each other while the whole time you're screaming "Just drop the knife! Problem solved!". But it's moments like that that make me enjoy a movie when you're just having a good time with it. This may be a twisted Big Foot, but that's just the way we are supposed to suspect him to be, why are we so afraid of him? Just like Jaws made people afraid of sharks, Night of the Demon will make you afraid of Big Foot! But like I said, don't buy it for 80 dollars, I'm sure you can find it cheaper somewhere else or it's gotta be on the net, because people are greedy and crazy.6/10
