The Demoniacs

The Demoniacs (Les Démoniaques, 1974) is a gothic horror film by Jean Rollin you can watch online on iFILM. A gang of wreckers lures ships onto the rocks, plunders the wreckage and finishes off anyone who washes ashore. Two young women survive a shipwreck only to fall into the pirates' hands — and death does not keep them down for long.

Taken in by the eerie residents of an island said to be cursed, the pair are given dark powers and sent back for revenge. Rollin trades scares for a waking dream: empty Normandy beaches, crumbling ruins, fog, and long silences where dialogue should be. This French-Belgian production runs on mood rather than plot, the signature of a cult director whose work is prized for its hypnotic, trance-like imagery instead of tidy logic. If you love 1970s European horror and the slow-burn uncanny, this one is right up your alley. Stream The Demoniacs (1974) online on iFILM.
