AMC's Visionaries : Eli Roth's History of Horror - The Demons Inside (2018)


Made for AMC , airing October 28th in the US.
Season 1. Episode 4.
The story : The fear that demons will enter us and take over has haunted people for lifetimes.
But that fear has also inspired some of the most scary movies of all time.
From the 1930s to the 1960s there were strict guidelines for movie content.
Demonic possessions rarely appeared in movies until , of course 1973.
1973 was a time of social upheaval and generational conflict.
The movies that followed showed this sort of thought.

Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II (1987)
