Killing the Devil

About This Movie

Killing the Devil is a peculiar blend of comedy and fantasy, crafted by Ester Krumbachová, whose unique vision shines through. The film follows a lonely woman who finds herself entangled with Mr. Devil, a character that's part glutton, part seducer, and entirely unpredictable. It’s intriguing how the pacing feels both languid and frenetic at times, mirroring the chaotic nature of their relationship. The practical effects, while modest, offer a tactile quality that enhances the surreal atmosphere. The performances are delightfully off-kilter, especially the lead, who navigates her whims with a mix of vulnerability and comedic timing. There’s a certain charm in its absurdity, making it quite distinct in the realm of 70s cinema.
