The Devils

io9 once called The Devils “one of horror’s most controversial and elusive films,” though the latter is now less true since Ken Russell’s 1971 cult classic—starring Oliver Reed as a witchcraft-accused priest and Vanessa Redgrave as an unhinged, hunchbacked nun—is now more frequently available for streaming. It’s still shocking as ever, though fortunately films seem less likely than books to be banned these days. (Streaming on the Criterion Channel)
