Question
I just remember a few scenes from this creepy movie i saw when i was a kid: It was about a bunch of people who discovered something like a painting, There was a girl who got a scratch in her back, which started then to swell and rot turning her into a monster. Then i remember the final scene where a character wakes up in bed from a horrible dream, turns his face and finds himself staring at the horrible monster face all of a sudden!

Hi Max,

Hmmm... this one I'm not too sure of, though the first part of your message does sound a bit like a movie called "Demoni" aka "Demons" from 1985. A plot summary from imdb.com follows:

"A mysterious man in a metallic mask (actually the assistant director) is handing out free tickets to the premiere of a film entitled _Demons_ at a new cinema renovated from an old gothic structure. Cheryl and her best friend decide to skip music class to see the movie. A bald, black pimp and several of his whores are bothering people in the lobby. One tries on a demon mask, and it cuts her face. The cut will not go away, and eventually starts to fester, turning her into a green-drooling demon, which transforms people with her nails. Two guys sit down with Cheryl and her friend viewing the film documenting a similar case to what is happening in the restroom, associating it with the prophecies of Nostradamus. Eventually the theatre becomes a walled-in trap, and those who survive have to rely on some disgusting punks who snort coke from a Coke can to come to the rescue, riding their motorcycles around in the theatre. The guy who prefers Cheryl becomes a gun-toting Ash-like hero, while the others transform into demons for the slaying one-by-one."

You can watch some of the movie here:

- I doubt this will be the movie you are looking for though. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I will keep looking for a title though as the film you desribed does sound very familiar. Perhaps you could ask another member here on Allexperts.

Best of luck,
Ryan
