Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Nigel P This Jess Franco tale of demonic nuns and graphic debauchery makes a good stab at portraying period costume and detail. It also boasts another fine performance from Anne Libert (as Kathleen), and an unusual and enjoyable score from Jean-Bernard Raiteux which does a lot to sell the mood of the piece, as does the director's usual fine eye for locations.Other than that, this is an often ponderous venture that dashes between sex-scenes and torture. It doesn't engage much, despite some strong performances (Howard Vernon features sparingly, but is typically strong. Incidentally, I wonder if he always dubs himself for foreign sales of Franco films, because the voice used has an uncanny resemblance to his own timbre). Whereas 'The Bloody Judge (1970)', which has similarities with this, had the towering charms of Christopher Lee as a central character with some depth, this has neither. It does have Britt Nichols, who is excellent as Margaret, especially towards the end.It is enjoyable, just rather dull. Designed possibly to cause a stir similar to Ken Russell's 'The Devils (1971)', this seems content to attempt to shock by mixing Franco's familiar perversions in religious trappings. This isn't quite a historical horror movie as, despite its title and premise, delivers nothing much in the way of horror. The gore is somewhat muted, but perhaps this is because I am watching one of several cuts of 'The Demons'. Running at 79 minutes, this version might have had some of the stuffing taken out of it, although in the latter part of the film, events take on a fittingly demonic turn!Not Franco's best then, but certainly worth watching.

Bezenby My mate gave me this. He'd ordered it especially from Germany for reasons unknown. There's no plot explanation needed - you just have to look at the cover and see who directed it. Highlights of this film include: 1) Hitting the display button to find out how soon I've got before it ends 2) Losing interest 3) Wondering what my mate was expecting when he bought it 4) Realising exactly why it had been sitting in my collection unwatched for a decade 5) Being relieved that I didn't watch the 117 minute special version on disc 2.Lowlights include:1) Every scene lasting forever. 2) Female nudity rendered boring. 3) Endless scenes of women being tortured. 4)Everything else about the film.

dbborroughs Jesus Franco Nunploitation film about two nuns who are sisters causing a convent to be turned upside down by lesbianism, demonic possession and other fun things.Its a well acted and we shot film that didn't seem to make a hell of a lot of sense. It was interesting to watch the twisted and lustful goings on for a while but after a while my interest drifted and I found myself no paying attention which made following the minimal story even more difficult. As these things go its actually not bad but not the sort of thing I want to be watching after midnight.6 out of 10.

Michael_Elliott Les Demons (1972) ** (out of 4) 101m. Director's Cut A witch is burned at the stake and swears her daughters will seek revenge for her death. This is a rather disappointing effort from director Jess Franco. The film is too slow and it seems the director doesn't know if he wants to make a straight witch film or a sexploitation film dealing with lesbian nuns and various other beautiful women. The score doesn't help matters either. However, seeing lesbian nuns in action is a reason to check it out. There are at least nine versions of this film out there.The DVD set I have contains two other versions but this one here is a 2003 edit by Franco.
