Demonia and The Church

[MISFITS_Fiend]

I'm going to be purchasing some more movies this weekend (God Bless Anchor Bay, btw), and I'm curious about Demonia by Fulci and The Church by Argento (I think). Has anyone seen these, and can I get a spoiler-free mini review on them so I can decide? Thanks!

Well if you need them to finish up your collection then get them, otherwise they have to have something else out there better.

Demonia - I consider myself to be a big Fulci fan but this was not one of his better movies. Snail crawl faster than this movie moves, if you can suffer threw it about half way or more the gore finaly starts.

The Church - aka Demons 3 - Well Argento did have writing credits on this one, but Michele Soavi has the helm. The movie started out good but then just seemed to lose all steam. It doesn't really help to call it Demons 3 either.

I would recommend Stagefright by Soavi more than the Church, they are both the same price. Hell get them both. I like the Church, but I really liked Stagefright. Its like an artsy slasher movie. The killer wears this big fucking owl head mask. It sounds really cheesy, but it works pretty well, you almost forget he's wearing a big ass owl mask. If you like slasher movies you should give it a shot.
Haven't seen Demonia though, so I can't help you there. Wait, I didn't really help you with the Church either did I? Ok well if you like demon movies, I'd say it's worth a look. At the very least the movie is pretty to look at.

Dude steer fuckin clear of DEMONIA. Its probably the biggest piece of shit ever put to film. And the gore is HORRIBLE. I like Fulci too, but this is one giant turd.
THE CHURCH is better, but only if you like the Italian stuff.
