Review of The Devils (1971) by Martin T — 15 Dec 2009

Hard to take seriously. I dislike such blatant button-pushing in films; it only ends up confirming the beliefs of those who already agree with you. And going over the top may be entertaining to some degree, but is it really necessary to do crazy zoom-in-zoom-outs during a scene where nuns are participating in a wild orgy? Shock value and preaching to the choir aside, it's fairly interesting.

The production is well done with a grand performance by Reed. But too obnoxious and silly for me.
