The Devils (1971) Watch Party with Al Lucard & Pugwall 3:16
Prepare yourself for a descent into religious hysteria, political corruption, sexual repression, and cinematic blasphemy! Al Lucard is joined by Pugwall for a watch party of Ken Russell’s controversial 1971 historical horror masterpiece, THE DEVILS! Starring Oliver Reed, Vanessa Redgrave, and Dudley Sutton, The Devils remains one of the most provocative and disturbing films ever produced. Set in 17th-century France, the film follows Urbain Grandier, a charismatic priest whose influence and personal life make him a target of powerful political and religious forces. When accusations of demonic possession erupt at a convent, the resulting scandal spirals into a nightmarish spectacle of fanaticism, persecution, and institutional cruelty. Directed by Ken Russell, The Devils is notorious for its striking visual style, unflinching subject matter, unforgettable performances, and relentless assault on religious hypocrisy and authoritarian power. Oliver Reed delivers a commanding performance as Grandier, while Vanessa Redgrave is mesmerizing as Sister Jeanne, whose obsession helps ignite the madness. Join Al Lucard and Pugwall as we revisit this legendary piece of controversial cinema, discuss its disturbing themes, and explore why The Devils continues to shock, provoke, and fascinate audiences more than half a century after its release. Will this cinematic sacrilege stand the test of time, or will we be begging for an exorcism before the credits roll? There's only one way to find out!
