In 1931, two grandparents fight to survive a demon-infested farmhouse. One grandparent gets possessed who frequently vomits and the other drops a snow globe which blows up the entire farmhouse. Cut to the "Present day," where Cory is plagued by awkward dreams and demands answers about the death of his grandparents. Cory and his obnoxious friends set out to the farmhouse to find answers.The landscape cinematography is nice. The gross special makeup effects are effective. One of the most confusing and idiotic "Evil Dead" wannabes ever seen, in addition "Demon Wind" is filled with nonstop cheesiness and one-liners. For instance, one of Cory's friends stabs a demon in the eye. The demon reverts back to human form, then becomes a teenage, then a baby, and finally a dove. What!? Moments like this are throughout the movie. This "so-bad-it's-good" movie is quite indescribable.

Of all of the Evil Dead rip-offs I have seen, Demon Wind is perhaps the most blatant, its basic plot, setting, characters, sound effects and atmosphere all clearly fashioned after Sam Raimi's 1982 horror classic. Director Charles Philip Moore is no Raimi though, and the result is a haphazard mess packed with random, oddball WTF moments and cheap gore effects, albeit one that demands to be seen (by avid fans of trashy horror, at least) just to be believed.For starters, the group of twenty somethings that are attacked by ancient demons in a remote run down cottage includes a high-kickin' karate magician—you don't get many of them in horror films; then there's the human remains packing a supernatural charge, and the trio of superhuman, supernatural ghost girls who turn one victim into a doll (!?!); and let's not forget about the bird's egg that cracks open to reveal maggots, the mysterious fog that repeatedly prevents the group from escaping, the assorted mouldy, wisecracking zombies, the topless female demon, and the satanic altar comprising of a human skeleton and animal skull with whiplash tongue that chomps on a girl's head!

I first saw this movie when I was about five and found it very scary. A few years ago I rented it thinking that it was still scary but instead I found myself busting a gut. I cannot believe this movie gave me nightmares for weeks. I think the most awesome part of this movie is when there is a naked woman outside the window but as the guy gets more tempted she turns into this disgusting demon thing. I hate to say it but I am a sucker for bad movies. I would not necessarily call this a bad movie, however as I have seen worse. If you are a horror fan or a deranged redneck from the hills of Arkansas this should really be your calling, all I can say is rent this mother.Cory J. McWuss

You can generally ask two questions concerning 80's low-budget horror films. and this `Demon Wind' in particular. 1. Is it a good film? No.. 2. Is it a fun film?? You bet! Demon Wind is a gruesomely filthy and nauseating tale, filled with cheesy make-up effects and nasty violence. The story is pretty much non-existent and involves a group of young people revealing the horrible secrets of one of the groups' ancestors. Apparently, his grandparents used to live in a devil-worshiping neighborhood, and evil (in the form of demons and fog) still dwells around there. But, I got to hand it to this film.from start to finish, it breathes morbidity! The diabolical undertones, the playful gore and the (relatively) decent acting all together make this film raise high above the mainstream, uninspired 80's slashers for sure. It shows some creativity and guts (literally) where other productions from this decade fall into routine and oblivion more easily. This creators clearly got inspired by the success of `the Evil Dead', and perhaps even Lamberto Bava's `Demons, but what the heck! It's fun and made with lots of enthusiasm. Although.this film does have a pretty high `what the f***'- standard at times. Especially near the end, when flashbacks and laser shows are happily being mixed. And what the hell is the story on those two wannabe magicians? Nonetheless, `Demon Wind' gets my recommendation if your likes aren't too high concerning crap horror!
