DEMONS 2 It's the sound of one movie sucking
They just don't get any dumber than this. Sample dialogue: "Put that fire out! If not, we'll suffocate!"
What mild give-it-another-chance urge I had to rewatch the awful Demons is extinguished forever, having seen this turd of the silver screen. I mean...maybe in an otherwise good movie, I can accept a line or two like that up there. And maybe a dead-on look through a door's peephole at the face of a dog, as if the dog is five fucking feet tall. And maybe a heroine who, upon trapping a demon critter in the tangles of this blanket, proceeds to hide in a closet.
If I'm feeling particularly self-flagellating, I could tolerate the ridiculous attempts at being scary from several of the demons/zombies (especially the original infected chick, who went past so-bad-it's-funny into just sad). And maybe I could hack a TV special featuring people looking into the events of the first movie, which people are watching on TV, despite there being apparently no cameraman. In an otherwise good movie, I could either look past that, or enjoy it as part of the silly whole, but this isn't an otherwise good movie. I mean, it's not perfectly awful the way that, say, Conquest arguably was.
I liked the introductory shots of the spilled dye, and I have to admit that the movie surprised me in the fate of pregnant-chick's baby (I mean, really, would you have guessed she would have squeezed out anything other than a demon?). But even if it isn't perfectly awful, it's still awful. Is being imperfectly awful even worse in a way? Because ten years from now, I'm gonna remember Conquest. After my next meal, all I'll remember about this movie was "Boy, did that ever suck!"
And how. |
