So, 'Challenge of the Occult: Teen Satanism' is a pretty unique documentary from 1980. It features Ben Alexander, who used to be a Spiritualist Medium but has since shifted gears to warn about the dangers lurking within the occult. The tone is serious, yet there's a sort of unsettling atmosphere that lingers throughout. It's not flashy, but it has a raw honesty to it, especially in how it tackles the themes of spiritual warfare and the temptations of the spirit world. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, bouncing between personal anecdotes and broader warnings. What really stands out is Ben's earnestness—his performances seem genuine, almost like a cautionary tale rather than just informative. Definitely an interesting watch for those into the more obscure sides of '80s documentaries.
