Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

After seeing that the sole reviewer of this film had given it 1 out of 5 stars after discovering that it wasn't the film he was searching for (50's B&W "Night of the Demon/Curse of the Demon), I felt compelled to at least post something that would maybe steer future ghouls and girl's in the right direction. If you have a penchant for that 80's straight to video feel, look no further. Here's what The Gore-Met had to say about the film in Rue Morgue's 11th Anniversary edition, "Night of the Demon (1980) - A university professor takes an anthropology class into the woods to search for the mythical Bigfoot. Campfire tales of deadly sasquatch encounters are recounted in flashback, including a motorcyclist with a weak bladder who gets his d*ck ripped off! A sordid back story presages a bloody climax in which Bigfoot whips people with loops of their own intestines!". That synopsis was pulled from The Met's 50 Essential Gore Films article.

I saw this flick when I was about eight at a sleepover and it freaked me out! The film obviously is not five stars worthy, I rated it that high to offset the one star review it unjustly received. If you're not into the seedy vibe that most of the late 70's/early 80's horror films wreaked of, don't bother checking this out. But if you're into forgotten, overlooked 80's horror, the kind that triumphantly waves the 'so bad it's good' flag, then Night of the Demon is worth at least one viewing on nostalgia alone. To say that this Bigfoot has anger issues would be the understatement of the new century. Bon appetite! \M/

It's diabolical allright, but not in the way its makers intended.

The classic film called 'Night of the Demon' in europe was released as 'Curse of the Demon' in the US. It is also available on DVD and highly recomended.
