Satan's Children

OK, I really don't know how to explain this one. It has the production qualities of a snuff film. It is simultaneously EXTREMELY homophobic, while at the same time trying to be homoerotic. I think I will just post some other comments I have seen about this movie that sum it up better than I can:
this movie is like an afterschool special made by john waters

This has got to be one of the most fascinating films I've ever seen, but has anyone been able to figure out what message it is trying to convey? Normally I don't assume that the lead characters of any film are intended to act as lofty moral examples to the audience, nor do I assume that every film has a message, but the characters engage in more "moralizing" than in any Biblical epic I've ever seen. Unless the director deliberately set out to offend everyone (with the possible exception of crazed homophobic Satanists), I just don't know what to make of this movie! The only thing that has ever left me feeling this dumbfounded are Michael Jackson videos.

I believe this film offers a pertinant message about the dangers of running away from home. Moreover, the film is saying Satan doesn't like homosexuals. Plus there's a pretty profound statement about empowering yourself through embracing Satan and his ideals. Heavy stuff, man! 

This insane Florida shot no budget quickie would have fallen into oblivion had it not been for SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO rescueing it and releasing it in the late 90's. Found as the second feature on the dvd release of ASYLUM OF SATAN this one has it all, felt puppet Satan statues, heroic teens in tighty whitie underwear, casual homophobia, not so casual homo-eroticism, angry she-babes in Satanic Cults, Simon the Devil master, Oatmeal quicksand, the longest foot chase in screen history, and the weirdest incest subplot south Florida could supply, as well as a scene that predates Frank Booth's "friendly Neighbor" from Blue Velvet by ten years. Yep this one has it ALL!

Okay, enough reading; first here is the trailer for this epic:

Now on to about 3 gazillion pictures of a movie extolling the evils of homosexuality by showing bound naked young men and young men (he was at least 18, I checked) running around everywhere in this tighty whities. WTF???
