At an
apartment building a TV special is being
aired of a group of teens who investigate
the legendary forbidden zone, in which
once took place a Demon infestation which
was a true incident in their town and
what could happen if this incident occurs
again as many of the residents are
watching the show.
One of the residents named Sally Day
(Coralina Cataldi Tassoni) is celebrating
her birthday and having a party at her
apartment but is very unhappy about her
party especially when her ex-boyfriend is
about to come and join.
She locks herself in her room and watches
the TV show.
While she watches the show the teens on
the screen finds a lifeless corpse of a
demon, one of the teens causes the
resurrects it when her blood caused by a
cut drips on the corpse. Then the demon
notices Sally watching the TV screen as
it comes out of the TV and attacks her.
She kills all her friends by clawing them
to death as their blood starts to ooze
out of the ceilings and walls causing a
power outage and going into other peoples
rooms causing them to turn into demons as
well.
Then the demons starts to invade the
building attacking others. They try to
escape the building but suddenly they are
all locked in as they all try to survive
from being turned into demons themselves.
Nowhere near to be
as good like the first one.
There is a narration in the beginning of
the first one telling the story from the
first one but really, this one seems like
a real average remake on the first one
but this time taking place in an
apartment building and what a bore it is.
I don't believe for a second that this is
a sequel to the first one period!
The demonic effects are the films drawing
card.
The acting
overdubbed by American actors but it
seems to be in synch with the cast most
of the time.
We get to see Bobby Rhoades
again, our favourite pimp from the first
film, but this time is a gym instructor
with the same voice over actor as he
stands out well in this one like he did
in the first one.
But the voice acting for Davide
Marotta who played the little boy in
the film sounds obviously fake having an
older actor doing the voice for him.
Nowhere as gory as
the first one.
People at a party are slashed to death by
demonic claws flesh torn open.
A demon pops out of a boys chest
Some gooey bits here and there with some
gun shots and axe killings but that's
about it.
Lamberto Bava does
fine with his directing, mainly like when
the demon comes towards the screen of the
TV and then raising hell at the party as
that is certainly incredibly spooky.
Also the show on the TV screen is well
directed too and looks excellent.
Also there's a great scene of Bava's
work when Marotta turns into a chuild
demon and tries to attack a pregnant
woman and then a demon pops out of his
chest but the little demon looks too cute
to seem deadly unlike the one that tears
open the back from a teen in the first
flick.
Seriously this film was like a repeat
performance.
Simon Boswells
music score is well composed but nowhere
as good as Simonetti's score in
the original one.
He composes an excellent rockin tune for
the opening credits which is totally
bitchin.
We do
have excellent songtracks by The
Smiths, The Cult , Art of
Noise, Peter Murphy and Dead
Can Dance

is frantically putting on her makeup]
Ulla, partygoer with camera: You
look great, Sally. Honest.
Sally Day: Not true! My hair
stinks! This dress stinks. Look! This
whole thing is disgusting! These sleeves
on this go back and fourth! What am I
gonna do?
Ulla, partygoer with camera: We
came to celebrate you, not your dress.
