Review of The Devils (1971) by Darryl S — 26 Apr 2016
Quite simply astonishing, and virtually impossible to keep your eyes off the screen -- if you can bear to keep 'em open, that is! This one is all over the map! Phenomenal acting, at times over-the-top and hysterical, but always dead-serious.
This film could never be made today! The 70's were truly the greatest decade of obliterating the boundaries of cinematic art. If you've never seen it, then you've never seen anything like it EVER! (Yes, exclamation points abound in this film.
..!!!) Definitely NOT for the squeamish, the prudish, or cerebrally stunted.... You've been forewarned...! One of my all-time favorites; and, without doubt, one of the greatest feats of celluloid ever produced.
..! Period.
