Serial killer is genetically mutated in car wreck on the way to his execution. After which, he becomes a murdering snowman hell-bent on revenge for the sheriff who caught him.

With this casting of Elizabeth, the film now is bringing back all of the original stars (Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, and Jennifer Coolidge) and this is one reunion you won’t want to miss on April 6th 2012.

Suspiria and Inferno are two of the most baroque and spellbinding pieces of art ever made. Dario Argento felt the time was right to finish his ‘Three Mothers’ trilogy with Mother of Tears, and the Italian Hitchcock made the decision to fly Adam to Rome to put down on paper what fans had been waiting a generation for. For budgetary reasons, the original draft was altered quite a bit and moviegoers were left with a flat and atrocious mess that was all violence.

After being schooled in the peaks and valleys of what the directing process can be, Adam decided it was time to make his own picture with the After Dark Horrorfest original, Autopsy. What would have happened if Dario Argento had directed Re-Animator? Autopsy answers that humdinger of a question as Adam takes ER and drops it smack dab in the middle of a J-Horror splat fest.

With remakes being en vogue, it was only a matter of time before Kevin Tenney’s 1988 classic, Night of the Demons, found its way to being retold for a new audience. Can Adam Gierasch side-step the sophomore jinx and make a rock ‘n’ roll hootenanny movie that he has dreamt about since he was a teenager?

Angela [Shannon Elizabeth] is throwing a killer party at the Broussard Mansion where years ago seven demons, who are too evil for the bowels of hell, were accidentally brought up from the depths by a seance conducted by a jilted lover. After being bit by the corpse of one of the hellspawn, a demonic plague takes over as a real life rave from the grave ruptures as a group of friends must do battle with a heterogeneous band of unholy succubus.

I hate to flog a dead horse, but horror in the 1980′s never tried to be anything that it was not as the flicks encapsulated a rebellious freedom. It is very difficult to bring back that free spirit and jubilant simplicity of Night of the Demons. Kevin Tenney’s original was trashy fun that used sex, nudity, and gore and mixed them with a small house party setting to create a Halloween classic.

The new Night of the Demons is running on pure adrenaline as the Tourette syndrome style of editing makes it very hard to make out the new demons as I had a difficult time putting them into focus and appreciating the new designs, which differ significantly from Steve Johnson’s make-up effects. What Gierasch does best is add a little more back story with a sepia toned opening that plays like a homage to the warlock chain-whipping prologue from Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond; another movie that was shot in Louisiana. The Italian flavor continues with the cobwebbed catacombs and skeleton remains that recall the cavernous ambiance of The Gates of Hell.

Fan boys rejoice as Linnea Quigley cameos long enough to duplicate her infamous butt shot, and Diora Baird takes on the lipstick scene as she pushes the cosmetic appliance into the nipple of one huge boob that, according to her Twitter account, is not hers, “What you see is just a prosthetic piece. That is obvious.”

Adam Gierasch’s Night of the Demons is a flawed affair that has its heart in the right place. It has a bombastic soundtrack that will have head bangers everywhere with a serious case of whiplash as they mosh to the sounds of a saucey carnival ride.
