The Devils 1971 Internet Archive Site

When "The Devils" was first released in 1971, it sparked widespread controversy and outrage. Critics at the time accused Russell of blasphemy, citing the film's depiction of corrupt clergy, graphic exorcisms, and a notorious "eye-gouging" scene. The film's distributors, United Artists, were inundated with complaints, and the film was subsequently edited and re-released in a heavily censored version. This truncated version of "The Devils" became the standard cut of the film for many years, much to the chagrin of Russell, who had intended for his original vision to be seen by audiences.

This version is still missing the infamous “Rape of Christ” sequence and some of the most extreme convent scenes (which were destroyed by the studio), but it remains the most complete version legally accessible to the public.

Only a handful of films in cinema history have provoked such sustained outrage, censorship, and passionate devotion as Ken Russell’s . Over half a century after its tumultuous release, this incendiary masterpiece—adapted from Aldous Huxley’s documentary novel The Devils of Loudun —remains officially suppressed by its own studio, Warner Bros. Yet, thanks to the tireless efforts of archivists, critics, and the Internet Archive , Russell’s vision continues to reach audiences who refuse to let it burn. This is the story of a film too dangerous for the mainstream and the digital sanctuary that preserves it. the devils 1971 internet archive

User reviews on the Archive page testify to the desperation that drives cinephiles to such unofficial preservation. One writes: “I’d almost given up on finding ANY version of The Devils to stream. I was more than willing to buy or rent it but nope it wasn’t available. Then it occurred to me that some librarian or cinephile might have put it on Internet Archive”. Another, more polemically, declares: “Free The Devils! Ken Russell’s THE DEVILS is universally acknowledged by film scholars and critics as a brilliant cinematic masterpiece. The fact that Warner Bros. has prevented the public from seeing this film for over 50 years… is nothing short of reprehensible”.

Directed by Peter Sykes, tells the story of a young woman named Virginia (played by Fiona Lewis), who becomes possessed by the devil. As Virginia's behavior becomes increasingly erratic and malevolent, her friends and family begin to suspect that she is under some kind of dark influence. The film's blend of psychological horror and supernatural themes creates a sense of unease and tension, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. When "The Devils" was first released in 1971,
