There was a period where French Horror was coming thick and fast. Martrys, Inside, Frontiers, and HighTension are of the highest standard of the recent wave, but then there were films such as Sheitan that seemed to go through somewhat unnoticed. Its a great shame because this movie is right up there with the very best.In typical French fashion, Sheitan aka Satan, is extreme. There are some taboo subjects that are handled in a very darkly comical way. Vincent Cassel does a brilliant job as the demented caretaker, who basically steals the show. The supporting cast of the young adults are a touch on the annoying side, but it makes their demise even more satisfying!Right up until the end credits roll, the film manages to keep your interest, thanks to the morbid atmosphere and humorous script. Go out there and see it!

This is the second worst piece of multicultural propaganda dressed as horror / thriller I have ever seen. A group of people of various ethnic and religious backgrounds do some bad things, then they visit some strange guy and nothing much happens. The only thing that connects them is absolute lack of any moral values, they are simply a bunch of idiotic jerks who want to get drunk and copulate but remember, most of them are Muslims. To be honest, the picture of this "new French youth" is probably the most horrifying part of the movie. It somehow shows France as the country that descends into middle-ages tribal and completely amoral culture.What happened to the France that started to make such movies? Why are we presented with such stupid vomit with no thrills and horror? Why we are faced by "sheitan" which is Islamic word for devil, even when this devil is somewhat supposed to be somewhat related to the Christmas? What is the meaning of most scenes in the movie? Are we just supposed to get sick with it? Note: The "worst" grade still applies to the "Attack the Block" piece of multicultural crap made in Britain that not only lacks horror, but promotes violence of young immigrants as something, well, admirable and adorable. And that pile of crap was made with the use of public money that makes it somewhat worse than this pile of crap.But some bare butts and a little blood does not make this pile of crap good thriller. Not by a long shot.

I watched the French horror film Satan(Sheitan) last night and i thought that it was a very good horror film. It is about a man called Bart who is always causing trouble, and his friends, Thaï and Ladj. while they are in the Styxx Club in Paris on Christmas Eve, they meet the bartender Yasmine and on of her customers called Bart gets himself into a fight in the nightclub, with another man. Eve decides to invite the group to go to her house in the country. While they are on the road near the cottage, they are introduced to the weird shepherd and housekeeper, Joseph, whose wife is pregnant. Joseph seems to get attracted to Bart, and his behaviour becomes disturbing towards him. What the three men do not realise is that they have been brought there for a reason. I thought that this was a very good horror film but some of the senses were quite disturbing in parts. 7/10

Oh dear. I know democracy is good, is something positive even if not perfect. Nevertheless, when I see here all the shinning comments about this abnormal movie I just want to putsh over IMDb and play Pinochet for a while until all those stars are wiped out for good.Cassel, Cassel, Cassel... not even your genius, not even your brilliant performance can save this aberration. Why to take part in such a stupid project? Please, I want to know why??? I demand to know! Absolutely below all B movie standards. They probably thought "let's mix Cassel with some pretty faces and asses and with some crazy directing moves and we got ourselves a movie". Instead, what Kim Chapiron got was something to throw in the nearest trash bin. What he got was a complete failure, a mess without plot, without actors, without ideas, without consistence. What he did was to copy the traditional teen horror movie already seen ten thousand times before, arrange some fancy scenarios with lots of dolls, kidnap Bellucci until Cassel agreed to jump into the project and VOILÁ! You got yourself the bullshit movie of the year.Avoid this movie with all your strengths, even if you adore Cassel, like me.
