I just got done watching this movie and as it was barely watchable I did get a few laughs out of it. The storyline is very similar of Carpenters "The Fog" except these ghosts come out of a white piano to exact their revenge on the town of Ludlow and there was very little fog. Most of the movie is a big yawn but several death scenes were hilarious. For instance, the first scene a half naked girl gets her intestines ripped out but it is just kind of a flash to her stomach and it looks really fake. There was a really funny scene where two girls throw rocks at this old lady and hit her square in the face. And there was a great decapitation scene that had me on the floor. Over all, this was a bad movie but it did have its moments (even if they weren't meant to be funny). I give this movie a 4/10.

I know it's not saying much, but so far this is my favourite Bill Rebane film (out of the four or five I've watched). It's low budget, sure, but Rebane fills Demons of Ludlow with loads of weirdness and a few creepy scenes, adds in a dollop of Wisconsin cheese, and just goes for the scares.

It's a very Stephen King like plot too. A New England town receives a gift of an antique piano from the relatives of its founding father, and immediately things begin to get weird. Objects move of there own accord, a ghost girl appears randomly everywhere, and people from the past are seemingly stepping back into the present. It's up to a visiting journalist (and once resident) and the local priest to sort things out.

Although the budget is extremely low, Rebane's no fool. He throws in as many scares as possible, what with the moving objects, ghost demons, surreal, crying and laughing toys, a demonic hand pulling folks into another dimension, and even a bit of good for good measure (a decapitation and amputation). It got a sense of that playfulness of his other films, but it's more like an outright horror. I was hooked from start to finish.

I've heard Blood Harvest is his best film, but haven't had a sniff of that. Other Rebane films are the ultra-cheesy (and great!) Giant Spider Invasion, the weird but fun The Cold (aka The Game), the so-so but still watchable Twister's Revenge. I've also got a copy of The Alpha Incident, but it refuses to work.

Nice one - I'm a fan of your work Bill.

The town of Ludlow which has managed to make it to its bicentennial though its barely scraping by with 34 actual residents gets a mysterious old white piano as a gift from the descendant of the guy it was named after. But another ancestor on that family tree was killed many years ago for being a warlock. And you thought things like that had died out in New England centuries before.

Anyway the warlock's spirit lives in the piano and the guy who donated it is playing one horrific cosmic joke on the town. The old warlock is out for revenge and any time somebody plays an obbligato on the piano something evil happens, a gruesome kind of death. Not like Ludlow can afford to lose too many more people.

The Demons Of Ludlow started as a good idea, but went bad with telling with a poor script and acting that's not terribly convincing. I'd pass this one by folks.
