NIGHT OF THE DEMONS
PLOT-A group of horny teenagers decide to have a party in an old spooky house. Guess what? It's got demons in it!
WHY IT'S A CLASSIC-This is a great example of a movie that's dumb on the outside and kick-ass on the inside. I've grown quite fond of this little bastard over the years. Sure, it exists only as a means to systematically murder some idiotic kids, but it does so with such style. For one thing, we're not dealing with a psycho killer here. Lurking inside the house are honest-to-god evil demons. Like the first EVIL DEAD movie, it starts by one of them getting possessed and passing it on until there's only a couple left. What keeps me watching this movie again and again are the actors. They're all fantastic at playing their individual stereotypes: you've got the scary girl, the slut, the virgin, the giggly chick, the jock, the smart guy, the asshole, the punk rocker, and the skittish overly-religious black guy. Forget the idea that these people would never hang out together in real life, they're fun to watch as the demons tighten their grip on these unfortunate souls. They screw each other, get dispatched in all manner of gory ways, and come back from the dead to stalk whomever is still left alive. The shining star out of them all, of course, is Linnea Quigley. Although she plays the youngest character (but is probably the oldest in the cast), she steals every scene and gets some of the best dialogue. Plus, who could forget her infamous "lipstick" scene? Not me.
MEMORABLE SCENES-Among the infinite amount of priceless dialogue, there's one bit that will always stand out. My friends, you all know what that is. Spoken by Stooge, the punker: "Eat a bowl of FUCK! I am here to party!"
