The Demons
Les démons
A group of nuns become possessed by demons and are then tortured in a dungeon of horrors during the Inquisition.
Why it matters
A grim fusion of historical horror and supernatural possession that drags the viewer into the brutal machinery of the Inquisition’s darkest nightmares.
- An unrelenting descent into religious terror, where demonic possession meets the real-life horrors of torture chambers.
- Early 70s European horror with dank, oppressive atmosphere—think the moodier end of the folk horror spectrum.
- Practical effects lean into visceral discomfort, no attempt to prettify the violence or possession.
- Not for the faint of heart or those expecting subtlety—this one wears its cruelty on its sleeve, making it a tough but rewarding watch for fans of grim period horror.
