I've seen a handful of older movies over the years that have a reputation of being scary or shocking, but have lost their impact over time, either because of poorly aged special effects and make up or changes in societies taboos. For example, Hellraiser and parts from The Apple, where they lean into then little known BDSM and queer culture to shock and titillate the audience. However, The Devils would still 100% be shocking if shown to modern audiences. I do think it's an interesting watch, if only for the spectacle of it all.
