 perfect example of FULCI'S ARTWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May 11, 2004
this movie is a perfect example of LUCIO FULCI'S unsettleing ARTWORK!!!!most mainstream conditioned critics & adience's shun & insult FULCI'S work because it doesn't make perfect sense to them,they pick it apart & have to many questions when the movie ends & they miss the whole point!!!!!!the point to fulci's work IS!! to unsettle & confuse you that then sets you up to be scared of anything & everything & in "DEMONIA" like most his other efforts he sucseeds at doing just that!!! THATS WHAT ART IS!!! like a painting or a special song,these things have different meanings for everyone!!!!! confusion & loose ends makes great OPEN MINDED ART!!!! like a puzzle thats almost finished but only you have the special pieces within you & your imagination to complete it.if none of this is making any sense to you then DON'T!!! bother watching this movie or any of LUCIO FULCI'S movies!?!?!?! if your a true fan of the ARTISTC HORROR/GORE genre but not to familiar with LUCIO FULCI'S movies or euro/horror in genral then "DEMONIA" is a great place to start as well as "BEYOND" "HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY" "CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD" "ZOMBIE" & so on!!!!!here are some other directors to check out as well "DARIO ARGENTO" "MARIO & LAMBERTO BAVA" "JOE D'AMATO" "UMBERTO LENZI" anyway i love this movie & if you understood anything i said above, then you will love this movie to!!!the dvd came out decent a few bad picture quality spots but nothing to ruin the flick. so hurry up & get this GEM of a movie & TURN OUT ALL THE LIGHTS O--P--E--N UP YOUR MIND & ALL YOUR SCARED SENSES & E----N----J----O----Y!!!!!!!!!@#$%^&*(
 Waste of time February 2, 2003
I love Fulci's zombie flicks, but this is something very different. Evil nuns coming back to take revenge sounds like a cool idea but trust me, the execution of the story is really bad. The last 20 minutes are so confusing and stupid I just wish I hadn't even bothered with it. House By The Cemetery, Gates Of Hell and the Beyond blow this away. There is some decent gore here but it doesn't save the film. Fulci had just lost his touch at this point, so I'd say see this only if you are a completist.
A Film About Nothing January 9, 2003
Demonia sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun, what with an ancient evil, crucified nuns, and horrific murders, but it turns out to be a pretty dud film. The film steals shamelessly from it's predecessors "The Beyond" and "City of The Living Dead", in fact, there is hardly any originality in the whole film. The story centres on a young woman on an archeological dig who unwittingly uncovers the secret of an ancient ruined nunnery, and revives a bunch of long-dead nuns who were put to death for satanic and evil crimes.
The script and acting are pedestrian at best, and while lead actress Meg Register looks gorgeous and does her best, she really isn't given anything intelligent to do or say. What truly lets the film down is that the actual return of the nuns is scarcely even seen on screen, and the various deaths that befall the cast seem to happen by themselves! The murders themselves are of course pretty gruesome, although not in the same league as Fulci's earlier horror epics, and the special effects range from lame (the spike pit) to unconvincing ( an attack by cats), as though Fulci can't be bothered to put the effort into these scenes that he used to. The standout effect, however involves a man split in two by being tied to tree branches, and although it begins unconvincingly, the overall effect is actually pretty disgusting, so be prepared for that one!
So, all in all, a far from essential purchase. At least the film looks good in places, and the ruined nunnery is a beautiful looking real location, but apart from that, I would lose no sleep about not having seen this film.
 Another Great Fulci Film November 28, 2002
Im fast becoming a Fulci fan. Here is one that is close to "The Beyond" in surreal horror. Sadistic, satanic nuns being crucified with the nastiest one to make a return centuries later. You have all the Fulci gore (yes an eyeball or two included) and Lucio himself as the inspector. A+++
 demonia July 5, 2002
another fulci film that i was pretty disappointed in. only serious fulci fans would be reommended to check this film out.
not a really fast paced film either. goes along pretty slow, does have a couple of good scenes in it but nothing really to brag about. i'll stick to fulci's zombie movies i think.
