Synopsis

The Demoniacs ( Les Démoniaques ) 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 Joélle Coeur ( Schoolgirl Hitchhikers ), 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 .
