THE DEMONICS

The Demoniacs (Les Demoniaques) sees director Jean Rollin eschew his regular subject of vampirism for a brutal nautical tale of ritual horror and supernatural vengeance. A gang of ruthless pirates, known as '''the wreckers'''', rape two survivors of a shipwreck. The women, now mute, are guided by a mysterious clown to a ruined castle, where they receive magical powers with which to exact their revenge on the gang. Starring Joelle Coeur (Girls Without Shame), John Rico (Blood Orgy of the She-Devils), Willy Braque (Lips of Blood), and Mireille Dargent (The Iron Rose), The Demoniacs is one of its director''''s most shocking and violent tales of the fantastique.
