The premise

A group of people are trapped in a West Berlin movie theater infested with ravenous demons who proceed to kill and possess the humans one-by-one, thereby multiplying their numbers.

Horror Vault's take

A night at the movies turns into a nightmare when patrons of a West Berlin cinema find themselves sealed inside with something horrifyingly infectious spreading through the crowd. Produced by Dario Argento and directed by Lamberto Bava, this Italian splatter classic wastes no time unleashing pure, escalating chaos. The theater becomes a slaughterhouse as the body count rises and escape routes dwindle, making it one of the genre's most frantically paced siege films.
