FANGORIA will host a free screening of director Adam Gierasch�s horror remake NIGHT OF THE DEMONS at the Cinema Village (22 East 12th Street, off University Place) on Friday, October 15 at 11:30 p.m. Gierasch co-wrote the new film with longtime partner Jace Anderson, the two having previously collaborated on AUTOPSY, TOOLBOX MURDERS, MOTHER OF TEARS, MORTUARY and the upcoming FERTILE GROUND. Gierasch will introduce the 35mm screening and conduct a Q&A.
The updated DEMONS due out on DVD and Blu-ray October 19 from Entertainment One, follows a bunch of young party animals who spend Halloween night in a haunted mansion, turning into demons and mutilating themselves and their friends. The film boasts a hot cast led by 13 GHOSTS� Shannon Elizabeth as the new Angela (that infernal troublemaker), with stunners like FREDDY VS. JASON�s Monica Keena, LAID TO REST�s Bobbi Sue Luther, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING�s Diora Baird and THE HAZING�s Tiffany Shepis playing the wild girls who turn into wilder she-demons. TERMINATOR 2�s Edward Furlong heads the male cast, while TRAILER PARK OF TERROR�s Drac Studios provided the film�s eye-popping makeup FX and monsters. The original film�s Linnea Quigley has a cameo.

Gareth Jones of Dread Central called NIGHT OF THE DEMONS �a modern throwback to a simpler era of horror where boobs and blood were the main attraction,� while Steven West of The Horror Review said, �If you see only one movie this year featuring demonic anal sex�make it this one.� And Suspiriorum at Horrorview.com summed up NIGHT OF THE DEMONS as a �shamelessly trashy experience, but one which is solidly entertaining, and a rare remake which doesn�t shame the memory of its progenitor.�
