Demons (1985)

One of the most energetic, entertaining and Hollywood-friendly films of the ’70s/’80s Italian horror Renaissance, Demons is also one of the few to feature major black roles, in this case a pimp (Bobby Rhodes) and a hooker (the redundantly named Geretta Geretta). How refreshing! It’s good to know that Italy has stereotypes too.

“Hey, you don’t need hair to have sideburns.”
“Have you tried the gumbo?”
“Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?”
You don’t want to know where that ends up.
