MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Night of the Demons 2" (1994)

*thump!*

*thump!*

*thump!*

*thump!*

*thump!*

*thump!*

...no matter how hard I smack my head against the keyboard, it doesn't get any better.

I won't lie and say that I was anything other than a vehement and vocal opponent of insult to sanity that was the first movie. I said it was clearly the worst parts of the 1980s horror films trying to die just so that they could get away from it. Now we're in 1994...there's no excuse for that. Does the sequel fair any better? Well, let me give you a hint...

*thump!*

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Night of the Demons" (1988)

...and like that, you've seen what is literally the scariest thing about this film. The poster. That's it.

...

No, this is not the set up to a joke, I'm serious.

"Angela is having a party. Jason and Freddy are too scared to come...But you'll have a hell of a time"

 Har har har. My pimply, flabby white ass.

If my typed sarcasm was not enough of an indication, I am not a fan of this movie. I'm aware that it's a cult hit, and I'm frankly at a loss as to why. It's not particularly original despite its promises that are just lawyer friendly enough to avoid copyright infringement, it doesn't bring anything new to the genre (using just about every single haunted house and demonic possession trope), and it absolutely wreaks of the 1980s trying so, so desperately to die.

...probably so they can get out of this movie.
