NO EVIL DEED GOES UNDONE.
Like many of his contemporaries, Godfather of Gore Lucio Fulci (City of the Living Dead, Don't Torture a Duckling) found his career on a downturn at the end of the 1980s as the bottom fell out of the Italian horror movie market. While much of his latter-day output went straight to video, these low-budget productions nonetheless offer up some diamonds in the rough, among them his 1990 tale of rampaging Satanic Sisters - Demonia, regarded by many as his last great film.
A Canadian archaeological team, led by Professor Evans (Brett Halsey, The Devil's Honey), descends on the ruins of a medieval Sicilian monastery to undertake an excavation. But when Evans' protégé, Liza (Meg Register, Ministry of Vengeance), goes searching for an explanation to the disturbing visions she's been experiencing, she awakens the spirit of three Satan-worshiping nuns put to death centuries earlier by a violent mob, unleashing an orgy of vengeful violence on the unsuspecting explorers.
Originally destined for a theatrical release, Demonia is a return to the atmosphere and gory excesses of Fulci's late 70s/early 80s output - a no-holds-barred Satanic shocker co-starring Lino Salemme (Demons) and Al Cliver (Zombie Flesh Eaters) and co-written by Piero Regnoli (Burial Ground) - presented here in a pristine restoration and a host of extras.

Seriously, I know this isn't a masterpiece, and some aspects of the film could probably be considered amateurish taken out of context. But look, I really think Demonia is a misunderstood, serious Fulci film that trades in his signature gore and shocking hallucinatory thrills for really interesting and engaging dark drama about the effects of mob mentality, misuses of power, and the erasure of the female perspective and experience from the socially prescribed and accepted history of the (Western) world. Don't get me wrong, this has far fewer kills yet it doesn't hold back on showcasing some hardcore moments. And overall it's an incredibly dark atmospheric film that explores some truly horrendous human behavior, and that feels really Fulci to me.
