An enduring, singular masterpiece of cinema starring Academy Award®-winner Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed, KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption -- and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell. 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.

4/4
The film is an audaciously blunt, fever-dream portrait of religious-inspired sexual hysteria. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Aug 21, 2026
It’s a lot of movie, and now we can finally experience all that Russell wanted us to experience. Get thee to an arthouse. Go to Full Review David-Elijah Nahmod Bay Area Reporter 2 days ago
"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. Go to Full Review Philip Bagnall Loud and Clear Reviews 2 days ago
4.5/5
It is, in fact, a scream of humanity in the middle of a whirlwind of hypocrisy masquerading as fervour. Go to Full Review Matt Konopka Dread Central 3 days ago
5/5
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. Go to Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Region Free Oct 2, 2026
