Request: Demons 1 & 2 Steelbooks From Synapse

A few days back, someone asked if we thought that the Demons 2 Blu-ray Steelbook was worth a purchase.

Demons 2 is not as good as Demons, but it's still a great Horror flick, and Synapse has done a fantastic job with the Blu-rays for both movies, so yes, it's definitely worth a purchase. They're a little bit pricey at $45.95, but if you love the movies, there's really no better way to experience them. *You can click on the cover art below to buy the discs out at Synapse's site.

If you just want to own the movies, and don't need the fancy packaging and Special Features, then you can buy the Movie-Only Versions here for $14.99: Demons, Demons 2.

Either way you go, they're great movies, and Synapse has given them gorgeous transfers.

A young woman is invited by a mysterious masked man to a theater screening in Germany. Taking a friend, the two beautiful ladies discover they are watching a gory horror film! When a prop on display in the lobby accidentally cuts a young woman’s face, she begins to transform. People begin mutating into hideous monsters and the cinema is locked up tight! One by one, the audience members are violently attacked and transform into disgusting demons hellbent on spreading their apocalyptic plague around the world. Can they be stopped? Featuring an amazing music score by Claudio Simonetti, and heavy metal songs from Billy Idol, Mötley Crüe and Accept, DEMONS is a fantastically gory Italian horror film and widely considered one of the best films of its generation!
