Knight of the Demon": A Gory 80's Bigfoot Film Review and Cryptozoology Discussion

A new video has been making the rounds on YouTube, and I couldn't resist diving in to see what it's all about. The video in question is a review of the 1980 horror movie "Night of the Demon," which is actually not about a demon at all, but rather, Bigfoot. The reviewer, who goes by the YouTube channel name "The Maniac," is a self-proclaimed fan of mythology, cryptozoology, and folklore. He finds it fascinating how so many different countries have their own version of a bipedal ape-like creature, such as Sasquatch in North America, the Mandrill in India, the Yowie from Australia, and of course, the Yeti from the Himalayas. As for "Night of the Demon," the reviewer has mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, he appreciates the Bigfoot elements of the movie, which make it more interesting than your typical backwoods slasher flick. On the other hand, he feels that the movie's pacing and main characters let it down at times. The movie opens with a guy in a hospital bed who has been beaten and mutilated. He is an anthropology professor named Nent, who suffered these injuries during an expedition with his students in search of Bigfoot. The local sheriff has come to the hospital to ask him some questions about what happened to him and his class. The movie is a flashback to what happened during this expedition, which just so happens to be a search for Bigfoot. The reviewer notes that there was a rise in Bigfoot movies throughout the 1970s, and "Night of the Demon" was made to cash in on this craze. The reviewer has mixed feelings about the movie's design of Bigfoot. He feels that it looks too human, and not enough like an ape-like creature. However, he does appreciate the kills and some of the movie's ideas, such as a cult that worships Bigfoot. Overall, the reviewer feels that "Night of the Demon" is a mixed bag. There are good things here, but there are also some bad things that bring the movie down at times. He understands that the film had a small budget, but feels that there were things that could have been done to fix the movie's pacing and character issues. Despite its flaws, the reviewer still thinks that "Night of the Demon" is worth checking out for anyone interested in Bigfoot movies. He encourages readers to watch the video and make their own decision. I always enjoy coming across new videos and reviews related to Bigfoot. While "Night of the Demon" may not be a perfect movie, it's always interesting to see how different filmmakers approach the subject of Bigfoot in their films. So if you're a fan of Bigfoot movies, be sure to check out this review and see what you think.
