Don't Deliver Us from Evil(1971)

A film that goes where no other has dared.

Don't Deliver Us from Evil is a French psychological thriller following two young boarding school friends who form a dark pact to reject their Catholic faith. Anne and Lore, barely into their teens, spiral into increasingly transgressive behavior—reading forbidden novels, sabotaging classmates, and mocking the nuns who oversee them. As their devotion to each other deepens into something sinister, their rebellion against religious authority escalates from petty defiance to genuinely disturbing acts. Anne's secret diary documents their descent, revealing how adolescent friendship can curdle into something far more dangerous. The film explores the volatile mix of teenage rebellion, religious repression, and the intoxicating power of shared secrets, building toward a shocking climax that questions how far two girls will go for each other.
