Details

This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD combo. The limited edition lenticular slipcover was limited to 3,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

The strange and brutal deaths of Cory's grandparents has haunted him for years. Determined to discover the truth, he has returned to the desolate region where they lived, along with a group of friends, to try and uncover the mystery. Ignoring warnings from the locals that the area is cursed, Cory and his friends soon realize that the legend is true, as the Demon Wind, possesses and destroys them, one by one, turning them into monsters from hell.

Taking equal inspiration from THE EVIL DEAD and the visual aesthetics of the early 80s work of Lucio Fulci, Charles Philip Moore's DEMON WIND is a supernatural shocker loaded with an abundance of gore and extraordinarily good creature effects. Never released on DVD, DEMON WIND comes to Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome in a brand new 2k restoration of its 35mm camera negative.

Reviews

Very entertaining 1980s flick

"I picked this up at the same time when I saw a VSMC lenticular slipcover was available for it. Low-budget, enjoyable and entertaining ‘80s film, in a dual-format release (BR and DVD). Great artwork. I’ve also included photos of the VSMC lenticular slipcover."

Demon Wind is an ESSENTIAL VinSyn Catalogue Cult Classic!

"For my full detailed review of Demon Wind, see my entry on Letterboxd: @M4N14K Few films produced by this boutique label are more iconic than Demon Wind: This is exactly what VinSyn is all about! I viewed this film on the Demon Wind Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray Limited Edition physical media release and it is the same great premium level of packaging and presentation that you’ve come to expect from the generic releases of this boutique label. No other brand beats Vinegar Syndrome at the cardboard game and this great slipcover is no exception to the consistently fantastic artwork and component quality this company produces. In fact, the new lenticular VSMC slipcover is absolutely amazing and one of the best ever created by VinSyn right alongside Tammy and the Trex. Wowza!"

Demon Wind FOREVER!!!

"This release is one of my all time favorites!! What an awesome effin movie! Loved adding the lenticular cover using rewards points! Missed out on it and glad to add this gem to my collection!!"

John F. (5/5)

A Damn Win

"Thrilled to have this in my collection. Had held off on purchasing because the slip was sold out. Then VS released the gold foil lenticular slip! My first with that sick gold stamp in the spine. Want more!"

Ian R. (5/5)

Enjoyable B-movie

"B-movie about a bunch of kids who head off to the archetypal old abandoned farmhouse in order to investigate a historical mystery: the death of one of the character's grandparents. While there, they accidentally summon up a whole host of demons, who proceed to take over the members of the party one at a time. Night of the Demons was clearly an inspiration here."

Erik G. (3/5)

Peak Video Store Horror

"Demon Wind is pure B-movie insanity in the best way. The effects are awesome, the story is completely unhinged, and it never lets up."

Tyler S. (5/5)

A blind buy not paying off

"The movie was unfortunatly not in my taste. But the restoration looks good and it seems to be a solid release for some movie collectors."

Jerker Ö. (3/5)

Demon Wind

Ben S. (5/5)
