Demons (1985) Synapse 4K UHD

They will make cemeteries their cathedrals and the cities will be your tombs... A masked man offers tickets to a horror movie sneak preview at the mysterious Metropol cinema. When a patron is scratched by a prop displayed in the theatre lobby, she transforms into a flesh-ripping demon! One by one, the audience members mutate into horrible creatures hell-bent on destroying the world! Can anyone escape this gory orgy of terror? Regarded by horror fans the world over as one of the greatest Italian splatter films ever made, Lamberto Bava's Demons is not only major cinematic nightmare fuel, but also a hugely entertaining gore-fest of the highest order. Produced by Dario Argento (Suspiria, Tenebrae, Phenomena), Demons features an amazing soundtrack of 80's rock/heavy metal music by Billy Idol, Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Accept, Saxon and MORE!
