The Demoniacs (Unrated Extended Cut)

The movie was OK I watched it kind a liked it that’s about it

Great film that has 3 version available to watch on here, from explicit to comedy, to theatrical release.As always find the best price for it.

Jean Rollin makes movies that perplex 'movie viewers' - his films are always poetically surreal, hypnotic, absorbing, enchanting and hallucinatory, and almost never have a coherent storyline. This frustrates and alienates a good deal of viewers, while attracting others. His flix are about dream-like imagery unfolding, cascading in waves, nightmarish and bizarre. He's done away with the notion of a narrative or a linear storyline in favor of the visuals allowing the viewer to interpret as the viewer sees fit. But it's not traditional horror. Highly unconventional, I understand why most people don't enjoy his movies as well as why others are attracted to them. I've seen almost all of his flix and find something worthwhile in most of them while my wife hates them. Different strokes...The other reviewer is too harsh on this film, expecting gore and nudity to suffice as entertainment. Don't get me wrong, I love exploitation in all its forms, but am one of the few who enjoys an Art House flick as well, and if we can incorporate both in one film, I'm in heaven, while most of my exploitation brethren are bitchin' and moanin'. There's enough nudity to keep most interested, especially the scene where the female leader of the vulgar ship wreckers masturbates on the beach while watching her cruel and sadistic followers brutally rape and kill two girls who re-emerge later on as spectres after making a pact with the devil. Have I got your attention yet?

This is a somewhat uncharacteristic Jean Rollin film, at least in terms of subject matter. There are no introspective vampires to be found here at all - this is essentially a ghostly rape-revenge film. Rollin's trademark imagery and moody atmosphere can still be found here though, so if you're in the mood for such, jump in.The plot concerns a foursome of island-dwelling pirates who lure ships to destruction on the rocky coast of their home. Two young women who survive a wreck are raped and killed by the gang, their bodies left to the sea. But the girls return (or the spirits of the girls?) and wreak a fitting vengeance upon their killers - thanks to a pact with a devil. Mayhem, piratey surliness, copious nudity and female clowns (!) ensue. Avast, mateys!.The Blu-ray looks good but not great, just like most of these Redemption/Kino Lorber releases. There's a little dirt, some print damage and occasional issues with hue and tone, but that's not too surprising considering the age and origin of the film. The audio has a slight but bearable hiss. Extras include a brief Rollin introduction, shipwreck footage outtakes, two overly-indulgent sex scenes, brief chats with long-time Rollin assistant Natalie Perrey and genre writer Jean-Pierre Bouyxou, as well as a Redemption trailer compile (eight trailers in total).I admired Roliin for his ability to keep making movies under trying circumstances (i.e. without any money), and it is true that he had a signature style and something to say as a director. This one is a little left of centre - good enough but compromised by commercial requirements. In the main though, I feel that Rollin's horror films lacked depth. They were ethereal and moody, but not scary. Surrealistic meditations on beauty and oblivion, certainly - but the fright component was absent. Today, this movie seem like a weird incarnation from a forgotten age of euro-cult cinema. Something like a ghost, perhaps?

Great item, fast shipping. Seller is Highly Recommended !!

Different and definitely an exploitation film of sorts. The reason I liked it is that the movie is not your typical horror film not made by your typical film maker.

This movie is a watch once and pass it on. In fact I fast forwarded threw most of it.

There's plenty of it here. Understanding this film requires thought, and a clear mind.
