Critic Reviews:
The Devils is like a trip through Baroque Hell as envisioned by a high end mentor to Kubrick and Jodorowsky. It's all textures and tactile reinterpretations, modernistic designs delivered into the bowels of a beleaguered, belligerent age.
My first two observations after watching were; I’m not sure why this is on Shudder, unless we’re considering the horrors religion has wrought upon the world, and second, this movie could easily be summed up as Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame”…with lots of tits and muff.
With its heady mixture of sex and religion, Ken Russell’s “The Devils” was one of the most controversial films ever produced.
