The Demons
Pick a genre:
The prolific and manic Jess Franco has directed
well over 200 films. Some are dire, the majority
functional and a few are absolute classics of
exploitation cinema. The Demons, Franco's shameless
cash-in on Ken Russell's The Devils, is a true Franco
masterpiece, featuring everything from torture, lesbian sex
and demonic possession. The film centres on a witch
who is burned at the stake by the inquisition but who,
before the flames consume her, manages to curse the principal
witchfinder and his minionswith dire results.
What follows is a catalogue of depravity and sexual violence on a truly orgiastic scale while Franco's camera gleefully captures every perverse moment and gratuitous exposure of female flesh!
