The Video Nasties Reviewed- Section 3- Day 20- The Demons (1973)

A woman who religious elders think is a witch, is examined and a needle inserted into her body and shown to not draw blood (a huge red flag apparently). She must be a witch/demon/devil woman (to quote Cliff Richard). She then looks straight into the camera and pulls a ‘possessed’ face that made me burst out laughing.

This is a Jesus Franco film (a red flag of a different kind) in which those possessed by Satan try to f*ck everyone else in their convent before they are tortured.

For me, nunspolitation films are second to the jungle-based cannibal films for sub-genres I absolutely despise.

Kinky goings-on, funky p*rn sounds, freaky camerawork and no discernible plot. Yep, prime Franco.

I’ve seen this once which means I never had to see it again.

This was shown once back in the day in London. That was one screening too many.
