I usually start my reviews with a brief synopsis but I really can't be bothered with this one. Since I was a kid I've had an interest in the occult, especially the darker side, so when I saw this DVD going cheap it instantly grabbed my attention. But instead of getting Black Masses we just get some goth chick with an evil looking Ouija board and one of the worst demons I've ever had the misfortune to see, some bad actor in a crappy rubber suit and dubbed with one of those awful "demonic" voices! The plot is rubbish, as is most of the acting.
The ONLY 2 reasons why I have generously scored this 3 out of 10 instead of 2 is: firstly, the presence of horror legends Angus Scrimm and Jeffrey Combs (really just a cameo, pointless one at that); secondly, there is some brief but welcome nudity, in particular a short but very nice shower scene (I'm sure a body double was employed).
Looking at the other reviews, one stands out - 9/10 by Horror Geek, who coincidently reviewed this when the movie came out & is his/hers only imdb review!
Avoid!

A hodgepodge mess of a film that has no spark, life's and dull and most damningly wastes the talents of not one, but two horror movie mainstays. Jeffrey Combs has a minuscule part, and thus, as wasted on the movie as he is, he gets off lighter then poor Angus Scrimm who has a bigger part in this fiasco. I spent much of the film merely feeling bad for him.Michelle, disfigured from a car accident gets partial amnesia as well as a reconstructed face before going to her new life in a halfway-house where a murder lurks. The twist is so god-awful but it fits with the rest of the movie, if only in that the rest of the film is awful as well.

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 film was so incredibly worthless... I'm sorry but I've seen better actors in pornographic movies.They list is as a horror movie, well... at least that's true in one aspect. It's a real horror to see it, to waste time on it. Save yourself the time and money, movies like this you should get paid for to see.I can't think of any positive comment on this film. The story was dull, acting was really bad, i even noticed the way they filmed it, the light was just, wrong. Hard to explain. There was no feeling or soul in this film at all.Don't see it. It's not even a B movie, it's a pain
