Satanic Panic

When i read that this movie was "supposedly" based on true events i thought hmm maybe its a good one cause usually the people that make films of that sort put into it a lot of effort to make it justice. But since the first few minutes of this Satanic Panic crap it is more than obvious that the people who made it took it as a freaking joke. If it really was Based on a true story then i feel sorry for the people that were the real victims of it cause when and if they watch this poor excuse for a movie, they'll be victims once more of the idiots who decided "hey, we could grab our cam, a few people out of the streets, pay them with twinkies and make a movie!" I'm glad i didn't watch the whole thing cause otherwise i probably would've rolled my eyes to the back of my head. This is definitely one of the worst movies ever known to mankind. The only horror in it was the fact that you were watching it. I say don't waste your time on this crap.

This is one of the worst attempts at horror I've ever seen, and there are LOADS of bad horror movies out there. Abysmal acting from EVERYONE, just about every character is a complete moron, directed terribly, extremely amateurish filming and the worst music score this side of porn to boot. The writing is atrocious too. If you don't know who the bad guys are you've probably never seen a movie at all. One of the writers is the guy who plays the staple idiot inbred hick. Something that tells me he actually didn't ACT much for his role considering his writing skills. And to top it all of - the ending is the dumbest I've ever seen I think. If I had paid to see this film I would have demanded my money back or even considered suing them - it's THAT bad. Thank *beep* for torrents. :) Avoid at all cost!

I was able to screen this movie and for it being a low budget movie, it was pretty well made. I thought the story line at the beginning sequence was intense and I thought the whole movie was going to be that documentary style, but it turned out that it started off that way but then it went into another story which I thought was a cool idea. Almost like you have two parts within one movie. I felt that the characters were interesting enough to keep me watching and you really felt some compassion for the Karen character. I wanted to see how this group of friends made it through their trip and the director did a good job of keeping you wanting to see more. The props that were used were pretty cool and overall, I thought that the movie was done well. If you're into independent movies, this one is pretty good.

I have seen some bad films in my time, but this is about as bad as bad gets. The atrociousness begins with the "re-enactments" of various witness accounts of satanic activities that occurred during the 80's. I knew I was in for one hell of a bad ride judging from the "acting" of those doing the reenacting. But, being the glutton for punishment that I am, I persisted in watching this "horror" unfold. And unfold it did, all over my computer screen, my keyboard, and spilling over onto my pants and shoes, which I ended up throwing out since I couldn't remove the stench. Yeah thats how bad this "flick" is. Pinkish watery blood...need I say more. Or how about a horribly made-up redneck vagabond with clean overalls. I mean, come on!! Don't people get paid to think this crap through before filming? I can't get back that 90 or so minutes but I CAN spare someone else. Do yourself a favor and just say "no thanks, I'll skip this one". I wish I had.

The only "true events" of the real-life Satanic Panic of the 1980's are that a bunch of charlatans made a lot of money selling fear, and a bunch of innocent people (mostly day care workers) went to prison for crimes they didn't commit. It was all rumor, innuendo, and outright lies, just like the witch panic in Salem. To make a movie suggesting there was any truth to such nonsense, especially when there are still innocent people fighting to have their wrongful convictions overturned, is reprehensible.

As for the movie itself, it's extremely poorly made and not worth watching.
