The Demoniacs (1974)

I love this movie so much

Just perfect...

Good movie but grossly overrated

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

This is without a doubt one of the worst movies i have ever seen. It is even worse than the 70's Hindu movies where eagles carried babies and women are always blind and all people turn out to be brothers!! at least some of these Hindu movies had decent stories. Here it is even worse. People siting all around in a bar having sex and the only thing to change that is to fight with one another, a guy kills a girl without noticing, and when a friend gets mad at him for that he kills him too!! then swims about 30 meters like a pro and slips off a shipwreck 1 meter high and drowns without even hitting a rock or banging his head against anything !! and what's with the clowns, the cheap looking actor playing the wizard or whatever he is, the tide that is rising and the change in water level is very visible!! and the water rose about 10 meters!!. I watched that movie when i was surfing some french channels over the sat and stumbled across it, believe it or not, i was attracted to see the movie as i never thought i could see something that bad!!

I caught this movie tonight on the late Horror channel - and I was transfixed by it's dreadfulness! I simply haven't seen anything as bad - and I've seen some howlers in my time.The only redeeming feature was the occasional beautiful landscape and the moody ruins. Apart from them - and the comedy factor - nothing.The story is - well - there isn't one.The acting - acting? - is totally beyond comprehension. The cast seemed to have no idea of what the words they were speaking meant.It's not a total loss - it's really laughable. If there are a few of you wanting a late night hoot - watch it! In future I will avoid any film by Jean Rollin like a toothache.

Bizarre but i liked it, it was well made with some impressive directing from Jean Rollin especially the shot near the Ruins. The photography was superb and the set pieces were awesome!. The ending was creative and the o loved the locations!. The actors really didn't have to do all that much. The story was very interesting if a bit confusing at times, and we get TONS and TONS of nudity!. But the 2 main females just stand there and stare! and don't say anything. There is a bit of gore here but not all that much. we get a beer mug full of blood , a couple stabbings , and a wicked sequence involving glass (i won't spoil it for you. The acting is okay but they really didn't have to do all that much. Patricia Hermeneir and Lieva Lone are both hot but all they had to do was stare and act scared. John Rico does fine as the captain and did what he had to do well. Willy Braque does okay here as Bosco but didn't have to do that much. Paul Bisciglia is the comic relief here and Joelle Coeur is beautiful but didn't have to do much except act crazy and take her clothes off. Overall well worth looking for if you can find it was on digital cable a channel called the Scream Channel (a bunch of others were too. *** out of 5

Dear oh dear. It might be easy to take cheap swipes at M. Rollin, but this looks likes such an amateurish effort. Terrible acting, contrived and sloppy action, meandering plot, cheap props. I hate to twist the knife, but it certainly breathes new life into the expression "Z-grade".The video blurb looked so promising - two girls raped by wreckers, take refuge in an abandoned abbey where they make a pact with the Devil to seek revenge. But Jean Rollin seems determined to disappoint. Way too much time is spent on watching people walking long distances, or labouring blindingly obvious plot developments (the psychic brothel madam excels at this!)There is not nearly enough skin to compensate for having to sit through this, though some spiritied sex scenes do capture the attention. The biggest draw of the film for me was the female member of the wrecker gang (character Tina). I wish I knew who the actress was. Gorgeous, spirited, and great without clothes! Shame she can't act, but I may excuse her. I have a soft spot for beautiful girls who get sexually aroused by wicked deeds.Bizarre points include the Devil's two attendants - a female clown, and a Rasputin look-a-like. And never did so much plaster statuary give its life for a movie!In summary, only rent this video for the gorgeous female wrecker, fast forward through the rest.
