"Eli Roth seems right at home behind the camera on a film like this. It allows him to combine his trademark gory violence with his movie fandom. The result is an energetic horror remake." - Manny Duncan, San Antonio Express-News
"Maybe one day Eli Roth's Demons remake could be considered a "so bad it's good" cult film but right now it's just so bad it's bad. The plot did age well at all in the 33 years since the the original was released." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews
"The film is cast surprisingly well, but the idea of a horror prop mask possession people with a demonic entity is just plain silly. Eli Roth was a smart choice as director, but he can only do so much." - Lisa Winger, Newsday
