See more Kay G 10 hrs ago Reflects the myriad of things wrong with a healthy percentage of the human race. From misogyny, religious zealots, patriarchy, greed, sadism, insatiable thirst for power &/or possessions...the list goes on and ON! See more Mr Hollywood 2 days ago Entertaining but very disturbing. Even after all these decades it holds up. Crazy to say the least See more Austin 2 days ago For better and worse, I’ve never seen anything like this. I love movies so much, man. See more Justin G 2 days ago Not sure why this was rereleased around Halloween, as it’s not a scary movie, and I do not understand all of the great reviews, and it’s not like I don’t see a lot of movies because I do. I just don’t get how this would’ve ever been considered good, and the title showing 2026 made me think that it was a brand new movie, this is a movie from 1971 and the acting is I guess you could say OK for 1971, but for today’s standards it was terrible, way overly theatrical and I get that it’s based on a true story and these things probably happened, but my God, I don’t think anybody wants to see it, and if they do, they’re pretty sick.

As far as the psychological horror aspects of this film, rather than it relying on traditional scares, it examines how sexual repression, structural influence and collective hysteria warps the human mind and creates mass delirium. It intricately explores the weaponization of religion and paranoia by state authorities to dismantle any sort of resistance and setting off theatrical demonstrations of affirmations to create skepticism and panic. And it's the horrors of the aftermath of these unchecked operations and bureaucratic cruelties that ultimately leaves its scathing mark behind. The Devils is an unapologetic, relentless and unrestrained critique on power structures, the use violence for political spectacle, modern totalitarianism and institutional hypocrisy. This fully remastered and restored director's cut is truly a marvelous achievement and to be able to witness it in theaters is truly an unforgettable experience. 5/5. See more Read all reviews
