Satanic Panic certainly has the feel of the horror-comedies of the 1970s and while there are some out-there, even insane, but there were times it slowed down a bit too much, though the performances by Hayley Griffith, Ruby Modine and Rebecca Romijn were great.

PLOT SYNOPSIS


Sam’s (HAYLEY GRIFFITH) first day as a pizza delivery driver is not going according to plan. At the end of a long day and no enough tips, her last delivery turns out to be for a group of Satanists looking for someone to sacrifice. Now in a fight for her life, Sam must fend off witches, evil spells and demonic creatures, all while trying to keep her body – and soul – intact.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 2.25/5


This release comes with a reflective and embossed slip cover. Not a whole lot of features, but there is The Making of Satanic Panic (6:29), Sam & Judi (5:00) and Girl Power (3:26) featurettes.

 

VIDEO – 4.5/5


RLJ Entertainment releases Satanic Panic onto Blu-ray presented with a 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Although this doesn’t always have the best production values as it seems the movie was made at a producer’s mansion (or at least one was rented for a few days), the picture still was sharp throughout and detail was well defined while colors were generally bright.

AUDIO – 4.25/5


The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track provides clear dialogue from the center channel and decent depth, particularly noticeable during the finale with the ritualistic chants by the Satanists. Nothing mind-blowing incredible but more than serviceable.

 

OVERALL – 2.75/5


Overall, Satanic Panic certainly has the feel of the horror-comedies of the 1970s and while there are some out-there, even insane, but there were times it slowed down a bit too much, though the performances by Hayley Griffith, Ruby Modine and Rebecca Romijn were great.
