RHPSvegas Review of Soul of the Demon

Soul of the Demon (1991 Video)

Pretty awful, but of significance to Las Vegas, NV locals

[10/10 · 12 June 2006]

Wow, I'm shocked someone else has actually seen this! The only reason I know about it because the producer (who also plays the old man in it) is my aunt's brother-in-law! I can remember watching it back when it came out and not really getting it. I just re-watched it again recently, and damn does it parallel Night of the Demons. I'm not going to lie - it's a bad movie, but for some reason it's fun to watch. The teens in it are all painfully early 90s. The special effects are surprisingly good for being so low budget. Having been born in and growing up in Vegas, it's funny to watch this and know exactly where certain scenes were shot. Even the news report at the beginning mentions real streets. It's almost a period piece of early 90s Vegas that locals can watch and go, "I remember when things were like that." The only thing I don't specifically remember is the hair - EVERYONE in this movie has bad hair, especially the brother metal head. The stoner with the mullet dies (thank God), but at least he brought the pizza.
