NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (2009)

Seven annoying butthones (who cannot die fast enough) get locked in a old abandoned mansion on Halloween night then finally after 30 minutes of boring build up the demons attack and it's actually kinda entertaining for a few minutes. Not because the story or the shitty special effects are any good, but because Edward Fartlong, I mean, Furlong goes absolutely nuts and starts screaming obscenities almost nonstop. He actually had one of the most realistic reactions to seeing a demon that I've ever seen in a movie: he freaks the fuck out and runs out of the room screaming "Shit, shit, shit shit!!!".  Which is pretty much what I would do in the same situation.

If the rest of the movie had been as funny as those few minutes this would have been a much better movie.  Instead with soulless writing, very little gore, cheesy (in a bad way) action, annoying cast (except for Furlong's overacting), music video stylizing overdose and zero respect given to the original, I say skip this stinker and just watch the original again.
