"The Demoniacs"

Okay, here's another one: "The Demoniacs," a 1974 French-Belgian release directed by Jean Rollin. Yep, I still get into that Euro-trash horror stuff.

This one has, as usual from Rollin, some great, great photography and mood pieces, although it's a bit high on the rapey scale. The ladies might not go for this movie. There are two fairly longish rape scenes (two women at once in each one....the same ones!). While they make sense for the period plot (and the time period the film was made), they're way, way too long and just.....very uncomfortable. Especially when you have the lead actress gyrating and pleasuring herself nearby during each scene.

That aside, the rest of the movie is pretty good, as these go. The old architecture in most of the movie is wonderful to look at. And the plot itself, concerning the two aforementioned victims' revenge on a gang of ship wreckers, is okay.

I'll give it a B, maybe B-. Or three and a half stars, if you prefer. Can't find a trailer for it....
