Synopsis

Founded in 1966 in California by a former organist and lion tamer named Anton Szandor LaVey, the Church of Satan has often been surrounded by mysteries, scandals and moral panics. Some of today’s active members of the church and other free-styled Satanists will share their views, memories, ritual practices and personal stories about how they got involved with Satanic religion and what are the false myths that still surround the movement. An immersive journey into one the most fascinating phenomena of American religious pluralism.

Reviews say...

"Beyond immersing us in this world, the documentary does a magnificent job of linking together interviews with different priests and people connected to religion. From how they experience it on a personal level to how they live it within their family and circle of friends. Garriga’s documentary work is impeccable, and he proves it with a solid, coherent, and very well-structured script"

"Aram Garriga’s documentary does an excellent job of painting a well developed portrait of LaVey through archival recordings and interviews of people who had direct contact with him and knew him well"

"(...) it is interesting and concise enough to give this feature film a chance, not Satan, or maybe yes?"
