The Order of the Angels, residing in an ominous countryside cloister, are charged with a dark and secret duty. Sister Jodie (Nora Jacobs) arrives to find the order in the midst of turmoil: the nuns are hearing strange sounds in the middle of the night and one of their number has gone missing. As the sisters begin to experience cases of demonic possession, it is up to Jodie and her new friend, Sister Salka (Katharina Maria Trenk), to discover the source of these unnatural occurrences…even if it means staring into the very face of hell.

The Demoniacs is the first feature-length film from Vienna-based artist/filmmaker Scott Clifford Evans. It is a large, collaborative, “no- budget” effort where some of the best artists, musicians, performers, and technicians in Austria (and Estonia) have applied their artistic practice in everything from acting to set design, props to special effects, in order to make this absurd study of the horror genre. The result: a unique art-horror-slapstick film that combines fine art and “trash”, the beautiful and the grotesque.
