Taking a look on Amazon UK at the DVD titles that the UK company Arrow has brought out,I was delighted to discover that they had released 2 titles by co-writer/ (along with Dardano Sacchetti, Franco Ferrini and Dario Argento) director Lamberto Bava,that I had heard about for years,which led to me getting ready to see Lamberto's "demonic" film series.

Before getting to the film,I have to give a special mention to Arrow,who along with delivering a perfect transfer pack the DVD with tremendous extras which go from 2 lively audio commentaries, to an official Demons 3 Comic-book.
Backed by a soundtrack featuring sharp Rock songs and Claudio Simonetti jumping score,Lamberto Bava and cinematographer Gianlorenzo Battaglia turn the cinema into a dazzling nightclub,with Bava and Battaglia giving the film a flashy,soft lights appearance.Closely working with practical effects maker Sergio Stivaletti,Bava displays ever bit of Stvaletti's superb work,thanks to using a number of closely-held tight shots,which allow the demons to slowly burst onto the screen.
Whilst the screenplay offers the exciting chance of seeing a gang of mismatched characters take on Stivalettis blood thirsty monsters,the writers disappointingly never allow any of the audience members to be given "their" moment.
Due to none of the enjoyable cast members being given a moment to shine,this leads to none of the individuals in the crowd to be that distinctive,and also causes the fake film- within-a-film to be far more atmospheric than the actual film,as Bava lets his blood drench demons stomp across the big screen.
