In Demons, the invasion takes place in a movie theater. Hmm, the Evil Dead comparison doesn’t just stop at the general premise. It’s a rock solid sequel that takes the concept of the first one and reinterprets it in a new way – kinda like how Evil Dead 2 is a quasi-remake of the first film.

It has been looked at more favorably in recent years, however-and with good reason. Demons 2, released less than a year after the original, never received as much adoration as its predecessor. Son of legendary filmmaker Mario Bava, Lamberto’s Demons is one of the most well known and beloved Italian horror films of the 80s. What for? Well, what else? To take over the world! Going by the synopsis alone, I can’t help but feel that the upcoming Lee Cronin film may have taken some inspiration from an Italian cult classic – Lamberto Bava’s Demons 2 – in which demons invade a high rise apartment building and quickly start turning everyone they come across into one of their horde. Now, without even so much as a teaser for the film by the writing of this article, we don’t know what the “ Evil Dead in an apartment building” idea will look like. Essentially, the Necronomicon unleashes the Deadites for some mayhem in an apartment complex. We also have an official synopsis, and it sounds like a good time. The wait horror fans had been enduring for a proper glimpse at the latest entry in the Evil Dead franchise, Evil Dead Rise, had been torturous, but a first-look image was finally unleashed this week.
