The Devil Also Cries

About This Movie

The Devil Also Cries is a curious piece from '65, shrouded in mystery. The tone is dark and brooding, veering between surrealism and psychological drama, which adds to its intrigue. Pacing can feel meandering at times, but that contributes to a sense of unease that lingers throughout. The themes of morality and temptation are woven with a stark, almost unsettling atmosphere that haunts you. The performances, though not from well-known actors, carry a raw and earnest quality that feels refreshing. Practical effects are minimalist but effective, leaving a lasting impression without overshadowing the narrative's deeper undercurrents. It’s one of those films that sticks with you, even long after the credits roll.

This film is somewhat of a rarity, often overlooked in discussions about 1960s cinema. While there are few official releases, collectors sometimes stumble upon bootlegs and festival prints. Interest seems to be growing among niche collectors who appreciate its unique tone and thematic depth. However, finding a quality version can be tricky, which adds to its allure in the collector's market.
