After a car crash, the teenager Michelle (Annie Sorell) has the face completely destroyed and amnesia. In the hospital, she is called Bride of Mummy due to the mask she needs to wear along her therapy. However, her doctor makes a perfect facial reconstruction using family pictures and Michelle is discharged from the hospital and sent to a home that lodges young offenders since she was considered a troublemaker before the car crash. The police release her possessions of the day of the accident – a journal and an Ouija board - and Michelle moves with the host Bisson (Rick Dean) to his house. On the same day she leaves the hospital, the janitor is murdered. Michelle shares a room with the outcast delinquent Dalia (Eliza Swenson) and she has dreadful nightmares during the night and is confused. She befriends Larry (Brett Erickson), who shares another room in the house with Dutch (Brian Burnett), and tries to help her. When Dalia is found dead in the room with cuts in the wrists, the evidences are of suicide; however Detective Joyner (Jeffrey Combs) suspects that Michelle is the responsible for the murders.The greatest attraction of "Satanic" is certainly the name of the cult- actor Jeffrey Combs in the credits, but unfortunately he has a minor role. The screenplay is a complete mess, with a poor development of the characters; and the worse, this lack of information of the characters is part of the predictable plot point. The unknown Annie Sorell is completely miscast in the role of a teenager since she is certainly twenty and something years old. The same happens to Eliza Swenson. The conclusion is terrible, with many deaths without any consequence. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Jogos Satânicos" ("Satanic Games")

One of the most pathetic and deceitful things a movie producer can do is promote his/her crap film by exploiting the name of a famous and extremely popular veteran actor and then subsequently only cast the popular veteran actor in a role that isn't much larger than a cameo appearance. Jeffrey Combs is incredibly popular among horror fans – mainly for his role of the demented Dr. West in the "Re-Animator" films – and he's one of the most regular & prominent actors active in the genre, so linking his name to a new film is guaranteed to attract more viewers. Combs' name is the first on the DVD-cover and the first one to be displayed during the opening credits, yet all together he only appears on screen for approximately three minutes of playtime in total! That's quite frustrating, especially because many people (myself included) probably feared already that "Satanic" would suck tremendously and hoped that Combs' performance would be the only worthwhile element. I just hope this isn't saying anything about Jeffrey Combs' career being in trouble or something. It's easy money, of course, but let's hope his career does not depend on paychecks like this. "Satanic" certainly isn't the worst horror film I ever saw, but it's dreadfully boring and the acting performances are incompetent beyond imagination. The basic concept of the film is somewhat intriguing, and admittedly I was pleasantly surprised by the end-twist, but the low-budget elaboration is very poor and amateurish. Following a disastrous car-accident, Michelle wakes up in a hospital and can't remember a single thing about her past and family situation. She carries around an eerie kind of Ouija-board soon suffers from nightmares in which her dead father comes to ask her bizarre questions regarding events that took place before the accident. Michelle is then moved from the hospital to a home for troubled teenagers where her tainted pas slowly gets unraveled. "Satanic" severely drags in places and none of the characters actually manages to say their lines properly. Especially James Russo and Diane Goldner are both horrible as the obnoxious owners of the Harmony House; the place where Michelle is sent after her treatment at the hospital. There's very little gore and bloodshed on display and most of the murders are incomprehensibly committed off screen. There's some hot female nudity and – as said – the denouement is admirable, but overall "Satanic" nearly isn't good or memorable enough to get a recommendation.

I would rather see Herbert west versus the tall man.This is stupid. I'll give you 10 reasons: 1. The star of the movie (as stated in the opening credits "Starring Jeffrey Combs" first) is in the movie less then 10 minutes total. (I'm glad because Jeffrey Combs deserves much better then this).2. The movie also states that Angus Scrimm has a cameo appearance, which he was in it more then Jeffrey Combs, who is the star, which makes no sense.3. The Lady playing the mother, I don't think she was acting. I think she was drunk, and wanted a bon-bon. They probably paid her in bon-bons.4. The main actress doesn't belong in a movie. Anyone who falls down on a card board box for no reason and cries "I killed them" doesn't need to be in a movie. They need to be in a circus. This lady must of got this part for the promises of becoming famous in exchange for personal favors.5. There are about 2 good special effects, and they were good. The part where it spells out the name DIE was extremely fast! It was much cooler then the rest of the movie, so was the split second of a flying skull stone. But if thats the best a movie has to offer....6. What is the point of connecting the ladies high heel and the guys eye? 7. Driving Miss Daisy is a faster paced movie. The cover is misleading! Don't buy the hype, the picture of monster on the backside is one quick scene. There is never an eye on a pentagram like the cover shows, and Jeffrey Combs & Angus Scrimm played small rolls.8. The actor playing Larry who is the best actor of these no names, is killed off for some reason.9. The foster dad smokes herb and laughs at a movie of people being killed on TV. The evil satanic witch demon child has a sack of herbs in her room. This kind of approach reminds me of Reefer Madness, and wasn't even appropriate in the 60's.10. The main action of this movie consists of smacking someone up side the head with a plastic toy skull stone in the name of demons.This is what happens when fans of movies like Reanimator and Phantasm don't push hard enough for sequels. Bring a phantasm 5 or a re-animator 4, or make um battle...Never put Angus scrimm and Jeffrey combs in a stupid movie like satanic again! Whoever made this movie needs to be reanimated and phantasm ball in face over and over.

This movie has it all: terrible acting, cinematography, scripting and so on. Simply painful to watch. The actors appear to be freshly from an under-funded over-acting school for over-30s who want to portray under-20s. Annie Sorell (Michelle) was particularly guilty here.Eliza Swenson obviously wants to be a great actor and apparently attempted to model her role on Angelina Jolie in Girl Interrupted. But falls miserably short, possibly because the role doesn't have much face time, but more likely a lack of talent.It was interesting to see the character "Commander Shran" from Star Trek Enterprise playing the role of detective here. Strange looking man - makes it obvious why he fits the role of blue painted alien so well. (No he isn't a blue alien here, that was his better suited role in Star Trek)There is way to much exposition; characters sitting there explaining or telling long stories when a nice little flash back or story scene would have been great. Instead we are given two mediocre unenthusiastic actors giving a recount of unnecessary detail. The editor must have been on holiday.The frights aren't frightening. The horror isn't horrible. Suspense is never built. Even the nude scenes aren't enough to save it. However this is an excellent movie for film students to see how a bad movie is made.Bleh, waste of time.
