Night of the Demons 2009 remake

I acquired a copy of this last weekend and finally got around to watching it the other day. Same basic premise as the original. Teens in a house ,demons attack blah blah blah. But this time you have a cast of somewhat knowns. Like Monica Keena,Edward Furlong,Shannon Elizabeth,and Diora Bard. There is a nice cameo from Linnea Quigley near the beginning of the film. And it is a nice reference to the original. Diora Bard does the infamous lipstick gag,and while it has been changed it still works pretty well. Furlong is the male lead and is convincing playing a pudgy,bloated,drug dealing sleazebag. Keena is the female lead and does a good job,plus she is still looking incredibly hot. Shannon Elizabeth plays Angela,and does an ok job. I have found that outside Jack Frost and American Pie I really don't care for Ms Elizabeth. The various effects are good. And the demon makeup is well done. Sadly Tiffany Shepis has what amounts to about a 5 minute cameo. She deserves better. I do like how the ending was changed and it is very effective. Night of the Demons 2009 remake earns a solid B+.
