"Have You Ever Been In Contact With The Devil?!"...

A witch curses her executioners while being burned at the stake. Nearby, a convent is suddenly besieged by impure thoughts, deeds, and general naughtiness. Unclean spirits have taken hold of the sisters therein, resulting in wanton, wicked nakedness.

THE DEMONS is a Jess Franco film, so it's not surprising that the nuns have lost their habits. There is indeed copious female nudity, as well as perverse situations and gory torture.

Though Franco's depiction has taken a lot of flack, just what would we expect to happen in a demonized nunnery, anyway? Square dance night?

WARNING: This film contains the infamous "virginity check" and "bride of Satan" sequences!

Those accustomed to the Director's work should definitely enjoy this movie. Others might want to watch something a tad less blasphemous...
