8/13/24 On August 13th, Synapse Films brings Lamberto Bava’s supernatural horror epics Demons and Demons 2 to 4K UHD and Blu-ray. 

 In Demons, the trouble starts when a mysterious figure hands out free tickets to see a new horror film. One by one, the audience enters the movie theater – intrigued by both the figure, his visage covered by a mask, and the new unseen horror film about to premiere. Before you know it, the horror from the film becomes a reality as the audience is turned into flesh-craving demons, hellbent on destroying everything in their path. Bava’s masterpiece – known for its’ amazing gore effects and propulsive rock and metal infused score featuring Billy Idol, The Scorpions, Mötley Crüe and more – can now be seen like never before in two versions of the film: the full-length original cut in English and Italian, and the shorter U.S. version featuring alternate dubbing and sound effects.

In Demons 2, a young girl is getting ready for her birthday party when a horror film on TV unleashes an evil force that begins to turn all the residents of her luxury apartment building into an army of murderous monsters. Babies, dogs, weightlifters…no one is safe as the demons are released, determined to make the land a hellscape similar to where they
came from.
