Satan Wants You

About This Movie

Satan Wants You dives deep into the murky waters of the 1980s Satanic Panic, exploring how 'Michelle Remembers' fanned the flames of hysteria. It’s a fascinating blend of documentary and horror, rich with genuine interviews and unsettling archival footage. The pacing is deliberate, weaving between chilling personal accounts and the broader societal implications that came with those paranoid times. The atmospheric tone is thick, almost suffocating at times, which perfectly encapsulates the fear and suspicion that gripped the nation. What sets it apart is its focus on the psychological manipulation involved through recovered-memory therapy, and the performances of those recounting their experiences are haunting. It’s a real head-scratcher about the fragility of belief and memory in the face of collective panic.
