American Satan

I was excited for this movie. I'm a fan of Andy, had a fun character actor cast, especially McDowell as the devil himself. That idea alone sounds awesome, but the movie was full of good ideas, but very bad execution. I didn't really hate it, there were parts I liked, not enough to save it. The music was definitely the highlight. The movie coulda been so much more, but it really wasn't. Shame.

Listen... I'm not movie critic, but holy cannoli this movie is a cringe fest. Super cool concept, however, the execution made me wanna be executed myself. Idk if a 13 year old who spent entirely too much time watching conspiracy videos on YouTube while going through a goth stage wrote the script or??... And the acting. Sweet heavens the acting. Pretty sure they found the actress who played Lily on a clearance shelf at Walmart next to all the other Equate boxes. I couldn't finish it.

I gave it 3 stars because, as I stated above, it was a cool concept. And Andy is also really pretty.

I thought this was a horror movie, but it definitely was not. It leaned more on the thriller film side. The soundtrack was actually decent, the acting and actors were great, the story was weak, rough, and tried to go too many places. Take out all the brutal shots and this could have been a lifetime movie.

Also, I had no idea who Andy Biersack was, but he was the only reason I kept watching.

So as I am watching this movie I found my self asking what would I do if was in this situation. And honestly that is what I look for when I watch anything from Movies to TV Shows. I want to put myself in that situation. Was the movie so good that it should be put up for awards. No. The writing was weak in some areas and lacked in others. Some of the actors and actresses seemed to just be there for the check and not really into their roles. With all this bad why should you watch this movie? The sound track mostly honestly. If you are a metal head or rocker you are going to possibly enjoy this flick. It keeps this film going. The lows are when the music is not going and you are not dove straight into this environment that is their depiction of hard rocker life style. I give this a 5 because its not like I wouldn't watch this at all. It is average and this should be a straight to blueray/dvd movie.

This movie tells a great story. The only thing that bothers me is that Andy doesn't sing. Why cast him if he's not going to sing? He has 10 times a better voice than the voice over
