American Satan

At a trim 72 minutes, An American Satan delivers a cursory if colorful sketch...

American Satan is a film it might take time for fans to discover but it will more than likely get a following in the next few years.

Sound the alarm, we've got a movie emergency.

Avildsen turns the dial up to 11, throwing music biz satire and heavy metal bombast into the mix, as well as shaping a cautionary tale about the cost of stardom.

American Satan doesn't put enough time toward one of the most crucial relationships in the movie for it to work. But the acting is excellent, the directing is stylized and energetic, the characters are interesting, the ending is remarkable.

There's no mystery to the allure of the dark side. Amerian Satan sets out openly to show you a good time.

In the space of 90 minutes, it captures some of the worst acting ever committed to film...

A maddening hyper-nightmare of smoke, hypodermic needles, and hard rock that somehow is far more endearing than it ought to be.

A smart, wickedly funny, and biting satire that deserves to become a cult classic.
