American Satan (2017)

Disturbing yet enthralling

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I thought this was a horror movie, but it definitely was not. It leaned more on the thriller film side. The soundtrack was actually decent, the acting and actors were great, the story was weak, rough, and tried to go too many places. Take out all the brutal shots and this could have been a lifetime movie.Also, I had no idea who Andy Biersack was, but he was the only reason I kept watching.

I was excited for this movie. I'm a fan of Andy, had a fun character actor cast, especially McDowell as the devil himself. That idea alone sounds awesome, but the movie was full of good ideas, but very bad execution. I didn't really hate it, there were parts I liked, not enough to save it. The music was definitely the highlight. The movie coulda been so much more, but it really wasn't. Shame.

I'm not a rock n roll fan. Just seeing the trailer I thought this movie was going to be good. I came into the movie open-minded. I learned from this movie is rock n roll/heavy metal is related to the devil. The movie is about Johnny and his bandmates moves to Hollywood in hopes of becoming stars. After arriving to Hollywood, A creepy old man offered them a deal. They have to sacrifice someone to seal the deal. Johnny is skeptical about sacrificing someone but he feels its the only thing he can do to save his mom who has cancer. Things starts to go great but he eventually finds himself participating in drugs, violence, and sex. The movie ends with the devil (creepy old guy) telling him. His next act is to shoot a mentally old man on stage during their performance. He refuses but he sees his mother is dating the devil. The curtains are opening, johnny is on stage with the gun to his head, and the devil standing next to him. Johnny kills the mentally unstable man which lands him in jail. While in jail, his ex forgives him and will be by his side. He now is represented by the best lawyer in LA. Movie ends. The movie basically summed up what many people believe about the music industry and the devil. If you want to be famous then you have to sell to your soul. I think this movie had potential to be good with better actors and a better script. The script was all over the place.

So as I am watching this movie I found my self asking what would I do if was in this situation. And honestly that is what I look for when I watch anything from Movies to TV Shows. I want to put myself in that situation. Was the movie so good that it should be put up for awards. No. The writing was weak in some areas and lacked in others. Some of the actors and actresses seemed to just be there for the check and not really into their roles. With all this bad why should you watch this movie? The sound track mostly honestly. If you are a metal head or rocker you are going to possibly enjoy this flick. It keeps this film going. The lows are when the music is not going and you are not dove straight into this environment that is their depiction of hard rocker life style. I give this a 5 because its not like I wouldn't watch this at all. It is average and this should be a straight to blueray/dvd movie.
