Ken Russell’s The Devils Uncut Scores 4K UHD X-Rated Release After Theatrical Success

Warner Bros. Clockwork says the restored NC-17 cut is the film’s definitive version, with a Collector’s Edition and standard 4K UHD set for release.

  • Warner Bros. Clockwork announced a 4K UHD release for Ken Russell's The Devils, scheduled for April 20, 2027, following the film's successful theatrical rerelease that began on October 16, 2026.
  • For over five decades, this 1971 historical horror film was heavily censored and locked away in studio vaults. The uncut version was recently restored, finally allowing audiences to witness Russell's intended vision.
  • The 4K collector's edition features three discs with the definitive director's cut, the UK X-Rated version, and the US R-Rated version, plus more than 14 hours of bonus material including archival interviews.
  • Pre-Orders for the physical release began on Tuesday after the film grossed $4.4 million in theaters; the collector's set includes a 96-page book and never-before-seen photography.
  • Film critic Mark Kermode's decades of research and advocacy helped restore controversial sequences, including the infamous 'Rape of Christ' scene, providing the definitive uncensored experience of this 17th-century French drama.
