Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Six years after the events of Night of the Demons, all of the bodies at Hull House have been recovered except Angela. Urban legend suggests that she went body and soul directly to Hell. But the real truth? Upon getting a Halloween card with her signature last year, her parents committed suicide. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Night of the Demons 2, one of the many sequels that my wife loves more than the original. Meet Melissa, who everyone calls Mouse. She's Angela's sister, who is now attending St. Rita's Academy, a school for troubled teens. The school bully, Shirley, gives her a hard time while Sister Gloria, the head nun, tries to look out for her.Shirley isn't allowed to attend the school dance after the nuns catch her fooling around with Kurt, so she decides to have her own Halloween party at Hull House, complete with a demonic ritual and help from the school nerd, her boyfriend, a guy named Z-Boy, Johnny, Johnny's girl Bibi and Terri (Christine Taylor, years before she was in The Brady Bunch Movie).Of course, all Hell breaks loose. What you might not expect is that the demonic Angela rises and rapes Z-Boy in the attic in an inversion of horror movie tropes. And a tube of lipstick possesses Shirley, which leads to the girls being possessed and murdered by Angela, who wants to sacrifice her sister Mouse to the Devil.The nerd, Perry, uses his demonology skills and the help of Father Bob and Sister Gloria to try to rescue the teens. Bibi, Johnny and Sister Gloria survive, killing all of the demons except Angela, who tries to cut the nun's head off. A combination of a sword strike, a supersoaker filled with holy water and light coming through a cross shape finally kills Angela. But oh no! The evil lipstick survives!Brian Trenchard Smith (Turkey Shoot, Leprechaun 4: In Space) puts together a quick moving fun piece of cinema junk food here. It's not anything that will stay with you for long, but it'll certainly keep you laughing and somewhat entertained while it's in your DVD player or streaming on your media player.

Talking to a fellow IMDber about a number of Horror films starring "scream queen" Linnea Quigley that I have recently seen,I got told the non-Quigley Night of the Demons titles were actually very good.After watching the excellent New Zealand Horror Housebound on Netflix UK,I searched around for other horror films that were on the site,and I was happily surprised to discover that the second film in the Night series had recently been put on,which led to me getting ready to spend a second night with the demons.The plot:After a mass, mysterious killing took place at a disused funeral parlour 6 years ago,the event has entered local folk tales,due to the police finding all the dead bodies of the victims, apart from Angela-who most of the towns people believe got taken to hell by demons. Believing their eldest daughter to be dead,Angela's parents are horrified to get a card with her sig,which leads to them killing themselves (talk about starting the movie on a light note!)With their being no one to take care of her,Angela's young sister Melissa is sent to a boarding school that deals with troubled teens.Running the school on a strict religious rule, Father Bob & Sister Gloria decide that the upcoming Halloween party will not feature any loud music or booze.Sick of having to follow orders,a group of teen rebels decide to stage their own Halloween party,by taking Melissa to where her sister may have died,and performing some fake "sacrifices." Entering the funeral parlour,the group soon discover that Melissa (and the demons) are far from dead.View on the film:For the first half of the film,the screenplay by Joe Augustyn & James Penzi takes a refreshing teen Comedy tone,with Z-boy, Bibi, Shirley, Terri and Johnny's attempts to rebel against Father Bob and Sister Gloria offering a number of hilarious confrontations,whilst also allowing the viewer to warm to each member of the animated gang.Made 6 years after the original,the writers link the movies together in a delicate manner,with some aspects of the original being expanded upon (such as the red lipstick),but never overpowering the new horrors attacking the group and Sister Gloria.Undressing the "holy" image that Gloria & Bob are trying to give the school,director Brian Trenchard-Smith & cinematographer David Lewis dive into the raunchy sauce,as gliding whip-pans display every bit of naked flesh from the stunning girls,and the guys in their underwear! For the comedic elements, Brian Trenchard-Smith gives the title a gleefully wacky atmosphere,thanks to Trenchard-Smith slam- dunking from a basketball playing headless demon spraying blood over the screen,to a kung-fu fighting nun (played by an excellent Jennifer Rhodes.)Soaking the film in burning reds and green ooze splatter,Trenchard-Smith superbly keeps up with the delightfully animated cartoon gore effects with stylish first person tracking shots giving the funeral parlour a strikingly creepy atmosphere,as the group try to survive a second night of the demons.

Night of the Demons 2 (1994) ** (out of 4) Sequel to the 1988 cult favorite has a new group of teens going to the creepy house but this time they're taking along the sister (Merle Kennedy) of the killer from the first film. It doesn't take too long until Angela (Amelia Kinkade) shows up and the killing starts. NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 2 will probably appeal to those who enjoyed the first film but as someone who found the original to be just okay, the thrill of going through pretty much the same story again really didn't strike me as fun. If you're looking for nothing more than gory kills then this sequel is going to keep you entertained but for me there was simply too many times where I felt that we had been down this road plenty of times before. It's really not too shocking that a sequel would just re-do the first picture and this here at least tries to pay homage to the first. The famous lipstick scene from the first movie gets re-worked pretty well here and there's some nice humor running through the film as well. The scene with a woman's breasts I won't spoil but it's quite memorable in its own right. There's also a lot of jokes aimed at a ruthless nun, which actually works most of the time. I was also surprised to see that I enjoyed most of the performances and while none of them were Oscar worthy, the actors at least fit their roles nicely. The death scenes are all pretty good and there's plenty of the red stuff to keep horror fans happy. With that said, the film was simply too poorly paced for my liking and at 96-minutes this thing ran on way too long with too many dry spots between the kills.

It's a largely forgotten 90's horror flick, starring no one you've ever heard of or are likely to hear of again. It has the requisite boobs and gore, probably went straight to DVD, and it's the sequel to a truly awful film that no one liked. You know pretty much what to expect from this one, right? Think again. Against all odds, this is one of the most inventive and bizarre horror films I've ever seen. From breasts that turn into grasping hands, rape by lipstick and a decapitated body that stumbles blindly around, to badass nuns with party balloons filled with holy water, this movie takes you to places you never thought you'd go. The plot is more or less by the numbers, but the characterization is well done and believable, the acting is on a decent level, and the whole thing is much more entertaining than it has any right to be.Admittedly, there's a LOT of set-up to get to the good parts - the whole first half of the movie is splatter-free, apart from a couple of door-to-door evangelists who meet a sticky end. But once the movie does get going, it's full of wit, invention and, yes, frightening scenes. This is how you do low-budget horror.
