Don't Deliver Us from Evil1971
“A film that goes where no other has dared.”
Directed by Joël Séria
The premise
Anne and Lore, neighbors and best friends, barely into their teens, board at a convent school where they have taken a vow to sin and to serve Satan. Anne keeps a secret diary, they read a salacious novel, they get a classmate in trouble, they spy on the nuns, they set aside their communion wafers; they make a pact of devotion.
Horror Vault's take
Two teenage girls attending a French convent school harbour a dark secret — a solemn pact of devotion to Satan that quietly shapes their every act of mischief and transgression. What begins as the forbidden thrill of diary entries, stolen novels, and petty cruelties slowly reveals itself as something far more deliberate and sinister. Director Joël Séria crafts an unsettling portrait of adolescent amorality wrapped in the sun-drenched innocence of summer and the rigid piety of Catholic schooling. The contrast between the girls' angelic appearance and their deepening devotion to darkness makes for an experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
