Demon Wind (1990) - Imagine if Evil Dead was missing the magical ingredients that made it such a classic and instead was a dull but colorful collection of cute girls and gory effects? I really wanted to like this, but it just...lies there. 

A guy brings his cute girlfriend and other friends to a rural shack of some kind to have a showdown with his Satanic ancestors. Why would he do that? Why when ( slight spoiler) one of them gets killed do they not talk about it at all? What exactly are they trying to DO? It took me 3 nights to watch because the story and motivations are just so thin. That said, if you like having movies on in the background and/or talking over them, this would be a fantastic choice. It's got lots of state of the art special effects and even a little bit of nudity.

It has a fairly high Google users rating, probably a lot of people who fell asleep watching it on cable.

2.75/ 5

The last half hour was relatively strong.

How'd you like the badass Siegfried & Roy life partners?
