Peppered_Productions This movie is all kinds of bad. Why a 4/10? Because it's totally salvageable as a riff-fest.A professor takes his students to a remote area of woods to validate some Bigfoot claims. They manage to find him and tick him off. Prof survives to tell the tale.Along the film's twisted path, we encounter generic victims. Among the first is a pair of hot & heavy lovers. As he's killed, she's emoting. And over-emoting. And even goes beyond 'scenery chewing' status.There are flashbacks involving stories of other victims - that are randomly thrown into the main story's progress.There's "Crazy Wanda" a survivor who they try to hypnotize into telling her tale - AFTER rescuing her from being ritualistically murdered by some townsfolk. Yes, you read that right.The lighting is, at times, horrible. The plot is drawn out to the point I kept losing interest & pausing the movie. However, for the time, the kills are original (and graphic), and the sound is decent.The randomness of the plot & some sub-par acting allows for fun times with friends. I've seen plenty of horror films that don't even have that entertainment value. However, as a study in the genre, this one misses more than it hits.

lodmot347 I'm not even sure whether I like this movie or not. It's just flat out bizarre. It's also extremely disturbing in several parts.First of all, the movie was made in 1980, but it looks like a mid- 1970's film. There are a lot of landscape shots with 1970's-style Chicago-esque/smooth jazz/rock music playing in the background. Everyone is wearing flannel shirts for some reason. The dialog is really boring and drawn out.But beyond all that, Bigfoot is definitely the star of the show and allows the film to entice you to finish the movie. The gore and kills are really good for the time.There's some really disturbing scenes which went a little too far though. Some guy's dick gets ripped off and you actually SEE it... In another scene "Wanda" is on her porch getting whipped by her father for some stupid reason. Then at one point during Wanda's flashback, the movie gets VERY preachy. There's a shot in Wanda's bedroom where it just shows a bunch of pictures of Jesus Christ, the cross and Holy Mary, with like church music playing in the background. O.o For some reason, this part of the movie feels like you're no longer in the year 1980, but more like the late 1800's- early 1900's...Then Bigfoot comes and rapes Wanda! Why? I don't know... Her father doesn't do anything, he's just like "You deserve it!" O.OThen later, Wanda gives birth to a log of moving feces....... Literally... That's what it looked like. =w=Anyway, I won't tell the rest of what happens... It's really strange... Like I said, I don't know whether I like it or not. I guess it's passable for the super low budget it likely had. It was able to keep me watching it till the end... o-o

Michael_Elliott Night of the Demon (1980)** 1/2 (out of 4) I'm not going to lie and try to pass this thing off as some sort of masterpiece but it's certainly one of the all-time campy horror movies. Professor Dixon (Michael Cutt), an expert at all things Bigfoot, takes five students to the woods to investigate some murders and soon enough they run into a bizarre redneck woman and of course Bigfoot eventually shows up. If you're looking for a well-made, brilliantly acted, heartfelt film that makes you think when it's over then NIGHT OF THE DEMON certainly isn't for you. If you're just looking for some gory, campy fun then this movie has pretty much everything you'd want plus much more. I'm a sucker for Bigfoot movies and this here is certainly one of the most memorable simply because of how silly it is and because of the fact that it has to be the goriest one ever made. I was really shocked at how much violence and gore was in this thing. We've got people being stabbed, hit with an axe, burned, raped, slammed, clawed and much worse and all of it comes with plenty of red stuff. There are some outrageous death scenes and while all of them are done with low-budget effects I still thought they worked quite well. And just wait until you see what happens to the motorcycle guy who pulls off to use the bathroom. The performances range from fair to poor and there's no question that there are a lot of quality issues. Just check out the error of the "witness" telling the story but when you see what happens to him at the end it doesn't match up with his injuries when he's telling the story. The screenplay really goes off the deep end once we start to get involved with the redneck girl but you have to give the director credit by throwing whatever into the mix and just seeing what happened. NIGHT OF THE DEMON is pure trash but it's oh so much fun.

silverfox4996 this old time classic is the most gory an scary big foot movie of them all, professor Nugent and his motley gang are looking in the deep dark woods for the yeti. only to find the creature is in no mood for interview's! and in graphic flashback we are show numerous bloody deaths best of all the camper who gets a rude awakening by being thrown onto some rather sharp branches! the acting is well quite good! i first saw this many years ago on beta-max when it was uncut, I've recently brought the DVD and its cut to bits! so my advice is to look for the American version on region 1 thats has all the death scenes in tact, it was on the video nasties list for ages and with good reason! very messy in places. watch and enjoy!
