DEMONIA Review On "Violent Maniac's Cage"

DEMONIA

(Italy)

DIRECTED BY: Lucio Fulci.

One of Fulci's cheesier efforts. I'm sure a lot would say everything he makes is cheese but I like most of his work excluding a few.

Demonia is about a group of archaeologists who stumble upon an underground site where years ago nuns were persecuted and crucified.(guess what, they're spirits come back for revenge. Bet ya didn't see that one coming!) Uninteresting film really. Director Fulci plays a detective. Not much gore either but there are a couple of memorable gore moments. One being the best knife stabbing in the neck I have ever seen where the camera doesn't change angles. Another one which looks obviously fake is the man who is ripped completely in two by ropes tied to both of his legs. For Fulci diehards only. I'd have to say I've seen a lot worse.

Rating: 3 Skulls
