31 Days 31 Picks: Dario Argento's DEMONS (1985)

You can't have a Halloween movie list without adding one of the Italian masters of the genre of horror in the name of Dario Argento. Argento is by far one of the greats.

This installment of "31 Picks 31 Days" is the 1985 film "Demons".

Demons follows a group of people that are trapped in a large movie theater in West Berlin which, unfortunately, is infected by ravenous demons who proceed to kill and then posses the humans one-by-one, thereby multiplying their numbers.

As the group of uninfected race to any exit they can find --only to find that they have all been bricked up-- they attempt to barricade themselves in the balcony. One of the demons, however, escapes into the city when a group of punk rockers break's into the building. Allowing the demonic infection has spread throughout the city of Berlin. 

Shades of the Spanish films "REC" anyone?

Until Next Time...
