LawrenceA Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Demons is a gruesome Italian horror film from director Lamberto (son of Mario) Bava, and writer-producer Dario Argento. A group of people accept a random invitation to attend a special movie screening at a Berlin theater. The audience (and the movie's viewers) watch what seems like a standard horror film, only for some members of the audience to turn into murderous monsters. The unaffected audience members soon discover that they're trapped in the theater, and they struggle to survive the demonic onslaught. The cast is largely unknowns in the US, although future horror director Michele Soavi has a small role. This effective fright yarn was a real surprise to me back in 1986 when it ran at my local theater. The movehouse wasn't part of a chain, but rather a privately owned and operated outfit. The owner/manager chose what movies to rent, and he'd occasionally bring some real fringe horror flicks, this being a prime example. I can still recall watching this in a mostly empty showing, which added to the film's atmosphere, with me being a guy watching a horror movie in a sort-of-creepy theater watching people in a creepy theater watching a horror movie. This film, and its 1986 ('87 in the US) follow-up have built a steady cult following over the years, and are available on multiple formats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhov Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Pulgasari - This kaiju film was created by Shin Sang-Ok after he was kidnapped by Kim Jong-Il. It is based on the success of Godzilla1985. The standards of its costumes, sets, and effects are on par with other East Asian and even western films of the time. After the Feudal lord imprisons an elderly man he builds a small figure of a "Pulgasari" and curses the lord. The daughter spills blood on the figure bringing it to life. The Pulgasari feeds on iron and metals and it helps the local militia to fight the lord's soldiers in carefully choreographed battle scenes. The film is actually a metaphor for "historical materialism" as Jonathan Ross notes. The Pulgasari helps to destroy the old feudal order but its taste for iron and mineral resources will lead it to "invade other countries and start wars all over the entire world" as the daughter notes so the villagers become its enemies. Some critics have noted the unintentional similarities between the Pulgasari and the brutal Kim dictatorship as the Kims fought off the Japanese but ended up becoming the enemies of their own people. The Kim family actually got Kenpachirô Satsuma and the Japanese crew of Godzilla to help make the film, though they originally thought they were going to make a film in China. This film is a real bizarre one but stands up to other kaiju films of the time. If you're interested in the genre, I would recommend it. The entire film is available on YouTube with English subtitles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
