A word of warning from Weisthor; I was voted worst Chinese Kung-Fu movie picker, by my friends. Nevertheless, with that caveat, I feel most people who are tired of zombie, or giant critter movies, will love this one. The only other horror movies I have liked recently, are: Vincent Price, starring in "The Fly", (1958), and "Dark was the Night". I have always liked stories about King Arthur, and his loyal paladin Ivanhoe. I also used to watch Renaissance actors, practice with shields and swords, at the college armory. Couple this with all the police shootings, of people high on PCP, and you have the main backdrop to 13 Daemons. When I read of people attacking the police, after driving their cars into a auto dealership, or taking a swan dive off a 32 story balcony, this movie makes it realistic. Hallucinogenic drugs can cause people to see what is not there. Someone will be swinging their arm in the air, because in their mind, a Tiger is coming at them. For me, this movie is one more lesson of why you want to think twice, before Puffing the Magic Dragon.
