Day Twenty-Two - Satanic Panic (2009)

  The so-called "satanic panic" of the 1980s has yet to get a good movie treatment, and this shit-fest is no revelation. The idea of satanists roaming the hillside and sacrificing children after listening to Judas Priest backward is such great source material for a horror film. Unfortunately, no one has truly been able to capitalize on that hysteria. Satanic Panic opens with a faux-documentary sequence which is amateurish, yet amusing. After this little prologue the film turns into a shitty slasher movie that half the time looks like a couple buddies made it in their back yards, and the other half looks like poorly produced Skinemax. It's a bummer.
