Nigel Floyd Time Out Rated: 3/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Edward Furlong plays a depressed, catastrophe-hit loser who goes to a party in a haunted house and is duly pursued by demons. You feel the part wasn't much of a stretch. Rated: 1/5 Sep 22, 2010 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) Fairly decent, extremely bloody... Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Brian Juergens CampBlood.org A handful of recognizable faces, fair amount of ghoulishness, and peppy can-do attitude can't match the cheese-fueled charm of the faulted-but-fun original. Rated: 5/10 Jan 6, 2011 Full Review R.L. Shaffer IGN DVD Night of the Demons is far from great. But considering the truly awful, unwatchable direct-to-video horror titles that make their way to retail and rental shelves, it's easily among the best of the bunch.

Audience Member 15 years have gone by This was actually a decent remake! I was so worried that they were gonna screw this up Remakes are tricky for sure; they have to update the original story but also honor what worked the first time around without dismantling it The 1988 film became a cult hit over time even having 2 direct-to-video sequels Here director Adam Gierasch has a big cast of scream queen beauties from Monica Keena to Shannon Elizabeth to Diora Baird They’re no strangers to the genre and they’re also joined by Edward Furlong in a cast of newcomers like Bobbi Sue Luther and Michael Copon The premise is essentially the same with a woman Angela hosting the biggest Halloween party in town It’s being held in a house that supposedly was the work of several deaths 85 years ago; at the beginning of the movie we start with a flashback of a woman Evangeline Broussard during a Halloween seance She hangs herself to stop an evil presence from taking over In present day Angela, Maddie, Lily, and Suzanne arrive at the house for a night of fun But the festivities are shut down and they’re the only ones left about to fight for their lives when demons start taking them one by one These dominions of Satan got casted out of Hell breaking their rules and now they want to make Earth their playground It’s up to Maddie whoever is left standing to make it out alive The film is filled with the Halloween spirit making it a perfect annual viewing for the season, the actresses are beautiful and look like they’re having fun, there’s no shortage of gore and nudity, and at times it can be very funny I was actually laughing out loud during one part because of its hilarious absurdity Give Monica Keena credit too; she has the toughest job of delivering plot exposition and fighting these things covered in bloody clothes The soundtrack is cool too It can’t outdo the original film but it manages to still be an entertaining and frightening experience Don’t believe the bad word of mouth Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Kyomoto Apesar de não ter visto o original , gostei desse remake mas as atuações são sofriveis. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/23 Full Review Sean S A very good remake of the 1980's original. People sometimes give the original a hard time and call it cliche', but in the 1980's it wasn't. This one is better than most of the stuff out there these days. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Craig H Pretty people wear sexy Halloween costumes to a haunted house and get possessed, slaughtered, etc. No one is very likeable, the story isn't real defined, but the movie is slick and the special effects help make it work. It's not the original, which was, actually, original for the time, but this update is almost worth the 90 or so minutes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/22 Full Review robert p A Horrible old horror movie that fails in every step it takes - note not recommended thus my *1 & 1/2" star rating! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Hot women and gory demons. Silly storyline, but then aren't they all? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Eighty years ago, the Broussard mansion in New Orleans was the site of a suicide and the disappearance of six people. Now, when Maddie and her girlfriends arrive on the scene for the ultimate Halloween party, they discover that it is more than an urban legend. Malevolent entities haunt the place, and they need seven human vessels in order to break through into this world.
