The Demon (1981)
4/10
OK Slasher Film
3 May 2016
This film is originally from 1979 the re-released in 1981. It's know by two different titles: "The Demon" and "Midnight Caller".

This one started out good, went to boring, back to interesting, back to boring then got good again in the end of the film. It's sorta a roller-coaster ride in entertainment value. It's NOT a good film but it is mildly entertaining.

As others have mentioned this one is kind of a poor man's Halloween in the way we have a Slasher in a mask (this one likes to wear gloves with cat-like nails or claws on the end of them) and we have a Dr. Loomis type of character hunting him down (but this guy has ESP on top of it).

As far as The Demon goes - they really don't say if he is an actual supernatural demon OR just meaning he's a really bad guy (a murderer). I thought he was just a psychotic human murderer but at the end of the film you hear demonic noises (the bathroom scene) - I'm not sure if it was just suppose to be part of the music score OR if those sounds were suppose to be coming from the murderer. Maybe the film makers decided to leave that to our imagination.
