Hell will no hold no surprises for you after listening to our episode about the 1971 film The Devils, directed by Ken Russell. Repeatedly censored and often out of print, The Devils is a searing and phantasmagorical look at early modern witchcraft trials, demonic possessions, church-state power and the depths of human viciousness. Fascinating, outrageous and offensive to many, The Devils is not a film easily forgotten. Note: As this film is based on real events that happened in France in the early 1600s, we will be discussing the plot in full and getting into what might be considered spoilers.
