Similar demonic zombie / biter /rabies films recommendations?


Just saw Demons (1985) and Demons 2 (1986), and simply put, they're excellent films. Thankfully absent of pointless comedy as well.

The demon zombies / biters here seem to have inspired the V-ACT Crimson Heads from the Resident Evil REmake and other video games. These are some of the only genuinely terrifying creatures, for me anyway.

Are there any other films at least similar in nature to these that I am unaware of? I already know of these slightly similar ones: [REC] series, Quarantine series, Dawn of the Dead remake, 28 Days Later series, Return of the Living Dead (only part one is good) and The Evil Dead (again, only the first is great like this).

I heard the later Demons films, from 3 on, are nothing like the first two and not worth watching. Is this true?

Thanks in advance.

Demons 3 onwards had nothing to do with the first 2 .it was called demons 3 or 4 just to sell more DVDs..

Does anyone question how she got a job at the theater? Lol

You should check out David Cronenberg's "Rabid" if you haven't seen that one. It's not a "zombie" movie, but it's got rabid biters, as well as an ex porn-star who has a bloodsucking penis in her armpit.

From what I've heard, "Primal" features similar creatures.

Also, it doesn't involve any zombies or illness but the movie Anguish (1987) reminds me of this movie because there is a guy shooting up a movie theater while a movie about a movie theater massacre plays on screen.

You should give Peter Jacksons early stuff a try. How that man went from those to Lord of the Rings still amazes me.
