DESCRIPTION:
NO EVIL DEED GOES UNDONE. Like many of his contemporaries,
Godfather of Gore Lucio Fulci (City of the Living Dead, Don’t Torture a
Duckling) found his career on a downturn at the end of the 1980s as the
bottom fell out of the Italian horror movie market. While much of his
latter-day output went straight to video, these low-budget productions
nonetheless offer up some diamonds in the rough, among them his 1990
tale of rampaging Satanic Sisters – Demonia, regarded by many as his
last great film. A Canadian archaeological team, led by Professor Evans
(Brett Halsey, The Devil’s Honey), descends on the ruins of a medieval
Sicilian monastery to undertake an excavation. But when Evans’ protégé,
Liza (Meg Register, Ministry of Vengeance), goes searching for an
explanation to the disturbing visions she’s been experiencing, she
awakens the spirit of three Satan-worshiping nuns put to death centuries
earlier by a violent mob, unleashing an orgy of vengeful violence on
the unsuspecting explorers. Originally destined for a theatrical
release, Demonia is a return to the atmosphere and gory excesses of
Fulci’s late 70s/early 80s output – a no-holds-barred Satanic shocker
co-starring Lino Salemme (Demons) and Al Cliver (Zombie Flesh Eaters)
and co-written by Piero Regnoli (Burial Ground) – presented here in a
pristine restoration and accompanied, in this exclusive limited edition,
by the feature-length documentary Fulci Talks, assembled from an
in-depth archival interview with the man himself!
