Description: Set in 17th-century England, this dark and hallucinatory tale begins when a witch burned at the stake curses her executioners — the sadistic Judge Jeffreys, the ambitious Lady de Winter and her mysterious accomplice.
Years later, the hunt for her hidden daughters—Kathleen and Margaret, raised as nuns in the secluded Blackmoor convent—brings the curse into full bloom.
Within the cloister’s shadowy corridors and crimson candle-lit chambers, repressed desire, demonic possession and religious fanaticism collide. Kathleen begins to experience strange visitations and uncanny signs that her body and spirit might not be her own. Meanwhile Margaret embraces darker forces, plotting vengeance against those who wronged their mother.
As the inquisition closes in and the nunnery becomes a battleground of supernatural vengeance and hidden lust, the stillness of sacred walls is shattered by tortured confessions, levitating nightmares and the kind of eerie dread only the gothic heart of the 70s can deliver. What began as a subtle whisper of witch-craft becomes a full-blown inferno of unholy secrets and girls set loose from their vows.
Visually drenched in flickering torch-light, wide-angle distortions and Franco’s trademark chaos, The Demons stands as one of the most extreme entries in nunsploitation cinema—equal parts horror, eroticism, religious blasphemy and cult spectacle.
