La noche de los demonios 2

NotD2 is one of the most fun horror movies I have watched in a long time. The story focus' on a Catholic School that decides to have a Halloween Party for the students, however, a group of them decide that the school party is too lame, and decide to have some fun of their own. They go to Hull House, and have their own brand of fun. In the process, they are stalked by Angela, a demon. One by one they are killed and turned to demons, resulting in some of the greatest moments in B-movie cinema. The film is gory and fun, and doesn't take itself to seriously. It's best if the viewer doesn't either. The acting isn't the absolute best, but it's expected for a film of this sort. The visual/demon effects are also quite effective, and the whole movie has a dark, creepy atmosphere to it. Also, there is teen sex throughout the whole film, another cliché for this type of film. In all, I found the film to be satisfying. A good way to kill and hour and a half.

Night of the Demons 2 (1994) was a highly entertaining sequel that's on par with the first film. Angela (Amelia Kinkade) is back to host another wicked party at the infamous Hull House. Ever since she disappeared a few years back, Angela has become as legendary as the house itself. She's in town looking for some more "kids" that want to party down! Students from a local parochial school meet Angela and accept her invitation, with some nasty side effects. How will the surviving kids deal with Angela and her new minions from hell? Will Mother Superior puck up her yard stick and join the fight against evil? If you enjoy horror films with heavy comedic overtones then you'll want to watch NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 2!

So much weirdness in this film that it defies logic, but in a fun way. The film never takes itself too serious and neither should you, just a fun sequel directed by the Aussie king of exploitation Brian Trenchard-Smith.

Highly recommended.

Wow. This sequel moves almost completely away from the tension and atmosphere of the first movie but still, somehow, manages to be almost as good, thanks to some real kitsch moments and fun ideas.

Angela, kind of head demon nowadays, is back and although the house form the first movie is still the focal point the demons do get a little road trip this time around too. There's more death scenes, some more decent gore and more . . . . . . . . . . super nuns. Yes, you read that right. A super nun who kicks ass in a nun style-ee. Fantastic.

It's things like that which make this movie a whole lot of fun. The super nun, who's also as strict as can be, the religious student with an unhealthy interest in demonology, the dumb characters who you can't wait to see die. Sometimes these things are really annoying but here they just get added to the mix in a way that continues the sense of fun from the first movie (there are a nice couple of links to the first movie as well).

With this and the next movie we have sequels that, while not up to the same standard, are certainly far from awful considering how quickly many franchises start to slide in quality.

The original is one of my favorite horror movies. It's the epitome of a party movie, and incredibly entertaining. This is nowhere near as good as Night of Demons, but considering it went straight to video it's actually decent entertainment, if you kick your brain to the curb. Like the original, its void of character development and it relies on cheesy entertainment, which it does quite well. The gore is very creative in this one. A jaw is ripped off, someone gets beheaded, and my personal highlight, the weird snake like creature, which strangely happens as a result of possessed lipstick (!) The biblical aspect plays a big part in this movie as well. Jennifer Rhodes is a blast as Sister Gloria. She's a bit of a stickler in the first half, with her overly strict ways, but that turns into kick-ass mode in the second half. Her character is all over the place, and it actually serves the film extremely well. She was a lot of fun. Amelia Kinkade reprises her role of Angela from the first movie. She's older, and not quite as hot. She's still a hoot, though. Cristi Harris makes for a solid heroine, whilst Ben Stiller's wife, Christine Taylor shows up and looks hot. You won't catch me complaining. We have also entered into the realm of the bizarre here. We get balloons, super-soaker's, a nun with martial art skills. It's all very OTT, but quite fun if you let yourself get sucked into it. I would watch this back to back with the original on Halloween night. You'll find your Halloween well spent. If you don't have a party to go to of your own, kick back with Angela!

6.3/10

There are some horror movies that not contribute anything to the genre...And still they're not to be missed. Like the Night of the Demons series ! They're not classics and they never will be...but you sure curse yourself if you miss 'em. This series is just so much fun. It delivers what young horror fans expect. Tons of blood and buckets of gore, loud metal music and gorgeous babes ( we'll come back to that later ). There isn't much of a story or a plot, just some kids who go to celebrate Halloween in the legendary Hull House and...guess what...they raise a demon and bring it out of hell into our world !! This demon has an urban legend attached to her ! She's named Angela and has the honor of being the mistress of Satan himself !! You hear it, no Orson Welles' writing but pure entertainment. The film starts with a scene in which Angela slaughters a couple of Jehova witnesses, so a great mood is set immediately. There's absolutely no tension or atmosphere present in this whole movie, and that's a bit of a shame. The crew of NOTD2 put so much work in the comedy elements that they totally forgot to add a bit of thriller aspects. So it's purely a horror comedy and not every fan appreciates that. I don't mind, though. Sure this film will never rank on top of my favorites list but I sure loved watching it ( ...and re-watching it ) Just don't take it too seriously. The film itself didn't do that neither...

Time for the cast !!! I'm not very much praising their talent because, well..., it's missing for most of them. But they ( and by "they" I mean the girls ) are gorgeous ! Let's honor Angela first. Amelia Kincade is just as sexy as in the original. In her normal form she looks like a Godess and she's perfectly backed up by Bibi, Terri and Shirley...I don't know all their real names but who cares ? They're beautiful and not afraid to show a bit of their lovely bodies. Everybody in this film is horny by the way...

Favorite "rewind" moment : Without a doubt...Angela's erotic dance act at the Halloween party ! Staring with your eyes wide open, I assure you !
