Originally this was supposed to be Demons 3 but was retitled during production. It falls just short of the first film but fully eclipses the second. It also stars a young Asia Argento.
A visually stunning horror movie. It's a little slow-moving and doesn't make a great deal of narrative sense but it's put together with great style and contains several remarkable and memorable individual shots. One late scene is almost a shot-for-shot rip-off of one from "Rosema...( read more)
The church is a masterpiece! With a great, dramatic buildup, a demonic seal is opened underneath a church, unleashing hellish deathtrap, for all people inside. It's a huge place with many different chambers. As the various interesting characters attempt to escape, gorey death aw...( read more)
This is meant to be Demons 3, but it appears to be taking off from a different point altogether. Soavi's direction keeps it from getting dull.
This film was originally slated to be "Demons III" and should have been. Soavi's second time out as a director is just as good as his first (Stagefright) and the film also boasts a great performance from a (very) young Asia Argento.

A surreal film with creepy images & demons but the different characters don't feel like they are developed enough and it took a while for anything to happen.Worth watching for some few gory scenes.
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "La Chiesa (The Church) (Cathedral of Demons)" !
