How was it?

It was OK. Good concept and executed well for stretches, but I don't think it landed the ending.

If you're going to get a Shudder free week, there are definitely better movies to watch...When Evil Lurks, Speak No Evil, The Medium, etc.

Also, I’ve seen you mention Demons multiple times. Explain that one further for me. I googled it the other day and got multiple results.

First, it's Italian horror from the 70s or 80s (I forget if Argento or Bava directed it, but I'm pretty sure the other one produced it). This means something (I'll get into it later).

Summary is a movie is played that stars infecting the audience and they turn into demons and hunt the rest of the theater down.

So, being Italian from that era, it doesn't fully make sense, it has a lot of color (I wouldn't call this Giallo but ti borrows the style), isn't totally serious, will have a synth/metal soundtrack, and has LOTS of gore and set pieces to do mega gore. ETA: and it's terribly dubbed (They would actually shoot movies with each actor acting in his/her native language and dub everyone in post).

When I was growing up it was on my list from my Hound's Guide to Horror, but it was impossible to find. Finally about 10 years ago with streaming I bought it on Prime. I don't think I have watched it again but I'm not upset to own it.
