Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of THE DEVILS by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned – and the first time the film will be presented restored and in 4K.

Director: Ken Russell
Genre: Horror, Drama, History
"The Devils is a sublime, timeless provocation that has lost none of its potency."
— Joonatan Itkonen, Region Free
"The film is an audaciously blunt, fever-dream portrait of religious-inspired sexual hysteria."
— Taylor Williams, Slant Magazine
"It’s a lot of movie, and now we can finally experience all that Russell wanted us to experience. Get thee to an arthouse."
— Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"The film, a big budget production in its day, makes modern mainstream cinema look extraordinarily timid in comparison."
— Andy Hazel, The Saturday Paper
"The restored 4K is the definitive version; this is how Ken Russell’s most iconic film was meant to be seen. Important cinematically and historically, it’s also just a really, really great movie."
— Joe Lipsett, Bloody Disgusting
"'The Devils' isn't for everyone. Parts of the film are harrowing, such as when Grandier and Jeanne are tortured. But for the film's sizable fan base, the uncut, restored version of the film is manna from heaven."
— David-Elijah Nahmod, Bay Area Reporter
"Even before the director’s cut of The Devils, it was a film unlike anything that had come before or after. It still is, but now you can see it the way it was always meant to be seen. Say a prayer beforehand, if you must. You won’t be the same afterward."
— Matt Konopka, Dread Central
