Details

This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD combo. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Chris Garofalo) was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

At a dig in rural Mexico, a British industrialist accidentally unleashes an ancient evil: a severed hand, possessed by a vengeful demon, that attacks, kills and takes over the hand and mind of anyone who interferes with its ruthless quest for violence. Determined to stop the bloodshed, the wife of the industrialist (Samantha Eggar) joins forces with a renegade priest (Stuart Whitman), but will they be able to conquer the evil hand before the forces of hell overtake them?

Directed by Alfredo Zacarias (THE BEES), DEMONOID is a classic slice of early 80s horror sleaze, full of outrageous and violent deaths, ludicrous plot twists and a pounding musical score. Presented here is the first official DVD and Blu-ray release of DEMONOID in both its original US version as well as its radically re-edited international cut, known as MACABRA, newly restored from the original negatives!

Demon

"80s looks and vibes. Awesome special effects."

— Kevin D. (5/5)

Demonoid

"Fun killer hand movie. Great transfer too!"

— Alan C. (3/5)

Evil Hand Movie

"Movie: Unfortunately this isn't as good as its trailer, which really sets a great horror vibe. I was also somehow completely blindsided by this being about an evil hand that can hop from person to person. The plot kept me pretty consistently engaged, balancing genuine suspense with twists and turns that really baffled me. A weird movie for sure, but in a mostly entertaining way. Alternate cut: The international cut loses some memorable scenes and gore in exchange for seemingly just some extended dialogue which adds very little, AND it ends up with a longer runtime. Definitely stick to the original cut. Extras: Always nice to have trailers, and the director interview is interesting. Packaging: Bonus points for reversible cover."

— Gideon M. (3/5)

Super fun film.

Decent Mexican film

"If you like body horror, you are probably going to enjoy this movie. It's your typical fun 80s horror movie. This is a good entry point into Mexican horror. Overall solid recommendation."

— Logan F. (4/5)

Demonic hand film

"Great style and mood even if the story is meh. Supernatural revenge of a demonic hand who attacks a ruthless oil tycoon who kills countless Mexican workers. I’m here for it."

— Brent B. (4/5)

Demonoid

"Great opening! Great ending! Drags a little bit in the middle, but it stays interesting enough to keep you in it. Wonderful and unexpected car chase too."

— Joshua N. (4/5)

80s Fun for B-Horror Fans

"The Blu-ray looks great, with a sharp image and grain that gives it that classic 80s vibe. The audio is solid, and the extras—especially the interview with the director—are the highlight. It includes two versions of the film, letting you see the differences between the original and the international cut. Overall: a fun and interesting disc for fans of Mexican B-horror."

— Pablo R. (4/5)
