Overview
The Female Demon is an Algerian drama set in 1991, during the turbulent rise of religious fundamentalism in Algeria. Ali, an ordinary family man, falls under the influence of three extremists who convince him that demonic spirits can inhabit women and must be forcefully expelled. Dragged into their ideology, Ali subjects his wife to a harrowing nightmare in the name of religious purification. The film delivers a bold and unflinching critique of extremism, exposing the violence and misogyny it breeds, while grounding its story in the specific historical context of Algeria's political and social upheaval of the early 1990s.
