Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Jack Fyrebourne 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.

rpizek 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.

patrip78 Inspired by True Events, Satanic Panic is not just a cool title for the film but based off a phenomena that mostly got its push from the 1980's. If you remember the times, which I do quite frankly..... these were days when we would see a lot Satanic controversy on talk shows, in the news, in papers and even the focus of entire articles dedicated in top name magazines. This is a docu-style low budget horror film, and that is what makes this film really eerie, it does feel like you are watching some home movie lost snuff footage in some of the beginning scenes, which makes it all work and come together nicely. Most low budget films at this level I usually shut off in the first five minutes. NOT SATANIC PANIC. I was glued to the screen for the entire 85 minute running time.This film directed by Marc Selz who is not a new comer to low budget horror films. is unique in that it combines film styles. horror is approached by factual references and in turn turned into on screen fiction. The issue actually becomes a leverage for the horror movie itself and a chance to heat up the footage with some FX work, acting talent and suggested situations. I think this is top notch horror showcased with factual realities. The horror lasts long after the film is complete. The idea that fiction based on reality can be a scary thing is never more evident. Satanic also pays homage to classic horror films from the past. If you like low budget horror, SATANIC PANIC is a film not to miss!

mardelplata 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.
