Reviews

  • "Funny, bizarre, surprising and enriching. A deliciously ironic journey through one of the most influential mythologies of American culture in the late 20th century."
    Angel Sala, Director, Sitges Film Festival
  • "'An American Satan' helps us to leave aside our prejudices and get to know more in depth about the philosophy of the Church of Satan."
    Mireia Mullor, Fotogramas
  • "Anton LaVey, the Black Arts, Satanic horror… ‘An American Satan’ methodically invokes, analyzes and displays the diabolical culture initiated in the US in the late 60s."
    Diego López, El buque maldito
  • "Very well documented and with splendid photography."
    Javier Tolentino, RNE Radio 3
