A horror novel writer named Cheryl (Virginia Bryant) is disturbed about her childhood past and her wild imagination on her fears of a wine cellar she always had nightmares about so her and her husband Tom (Paola Malco) and their son Bobby (Patrizio Vinci) travels to a villa in rural Italy for a vacation and for Cheryl to work on her latest book.
But Cheryl continues to have nightmares stalked by an ugly ogre in the basement and thinks that the villa has a curse on it especially when the wine cellar there resembles hers as a child. What's even scarier for her is that she spotted her teddybear there that she left behind at her old house.
Cheryl continues to write about her fears into the novel she's going to publish next but suddenly her writing comes to life and she must face her fears with this ogre once and for all.

A nice cheesy beginning of the film which involved a little girl named Cheryl getting spooked while walking into a wine cellar showing good scared expressions as well as a good shot on a demons hand tearing out of a cocoon. This really makes you feel sorry for this poor child especially when she drops her own teddy bear. At first I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. However, the beginning is half decent. Seemed to borrow a bit on the beginning of A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Present day happens when Cheryl is now a full grown adult and a family woman in which they have cheesy conversations while travelling to Italy so she can focus on writing her horror novel. I got the impressions but how this certain scene started out that I would be in for a disappointment and I was right while I continued watching.
Cheryl keeps having her childhood nightmares in the cellar as something different happens each time as there's decent horror timing by what we spot before she wakes up as I tip my hat to the makers for these scenarios.
Cheryl spots claw marks on windows and on the ground like her childhood nightmares of the beast she imagined. This is a mind teaser making me wonder if she hallucinating or not.
A good discussion between Tom and Cheryl when she explains about her teddybear and her childhood experience.
There is a nice shot on Cheryl looking at a painting in which it reveals the coccon in her nightmare. I had to sadmit that this looked genuinely twisted. Then an old timiner who did this piece of art by acting creepy towards her about his painting. Seemed to fit in okay to the story making this eccentric nut mysterious.
There's nice dark shots on Cheryl in the dark trying to get to her husband as well as spotting a corpse and screaming then a good shot on a beast attacking in front of the camera as you almost jump.
There's a good shot on Tom looking in his pocket finding worms, dirt and a teddy bear stuffed.
We have some decent stern and quarreling moments between Cheryl and Tom when she tries to tell him about a handprint in some flour and the two of them go at it. But however they smack one another which looks a bit phony.
There's a nice decent scene with Maria and Bobby playing hide and seek and then a good creepy moment with Maria down in the wine cellar in which leaves a chilling feeling that something terrifying is about to happen since this is very common in a horror flick.
While Cheryl is continuing with her book she accidentally drops one of her paper in a slimy tub of water in which this makes you watch carefully wondering if something will reach out and grab her. This moment was half decent.
We also spot a good shot on Anna in bed and the beast grabbing her. This is supposed to be a near jumping moment but just doesn't do the trick at all.
Then the final moments happen involving the beast towards Cheryl and Tom in which there's good terrorising action and camera shots but I won't give this scene away as you'd have to watch it yourself if you're in the mood for a bad movie.
Bottom line is that this one that was supposedly titled Demons 3 seriously beared no resemblance at all and was a completely different story alltogether. It was quite boring showing very little frights and a little confusing too. In closing don't be fooled that this is another Demons flick cause it's far from it and has very little class at all to top it all off especially having three Italian actors playing Americans as they don't pull it off.

The acting is quite bad with most of the actors but try their best. Yet it was overdubbed by american actors which explains alot. Virginia Bryant (Cheryl) tries to show her character as a woman trying to write a horror story to overcome her childhood fears but she doesn't quite succeed but she shows good fearful expressions. However in a certain scene there's great fearful expressions on her face while walking down to a wine cellar and spotting her teddy bear on a floor with a shocked reaction. She seemed very phony towards the onscreen telling this monster that she's not afraid anymore.
Paola Malco (Tom) is incredibly stiff with his part in the film but knew how to act stern when necessary. He seems to come across okay onto the camera as a high sprited family man acting full of life whenever necessary and changing that when the moment is necessary. Yet he wasn't anything too special at all. Shows average energy when the terrors strike.
Sabrina Ferilli (Anna) brings on a nice charm as a neighbor in the film who was one of the only people that seemed to pull it off but mainly because her voice wasn't overdubbed proving her true italian accent.
Stefania Montorsi (Maria) really shows off as a likeable babysitter with her friendly and outgoing attitude. Really acted out by having fun along with showing off on her spunky behavior. Makes you really want to know her and studied this part quite well. Plus near the end of her performance acting cautious while entering the cellar which was convincing too.
Patrizio Vinci (Bobby) seems to do the trick but in an average fashion as a curious little child as well as showing off his charming appeal to his role. He shows off some fair enthusiasm within whatever he did here. Was a total ball of energy within whatever he does here.

There's a brief breast shot on Virginia Bryant taking a bubble bath

Simon Boswell has some ghostly music along with some chiming, string plucking and tuned out piano music for the film as some of it sounds effective especially during the beginning and the rest is a little plain and at times annoying since alot of it is being repeated.
