Film description

Satan Wants You tells the untold story of how the Satanic Panic of the 1980s was ignited by "Michelle Remembers", a lurid memoir by psychiatrist Larry Pazder and his patient Michelle Smith. Supported by the Catholic Church, the bestselling book relied on recovered-memory therapy to uncover Michelle’s childhood abduction by baby-stealing Satanists. Amplified by law enforcement and America’s Daytime TV boom, satanic rumors spread through panic-stricken communities across the world, leaving a wave of destruction and wrongful convictions in their wake. This film digs deep into the roots of moral panics and cult conspiracies, showing how these events still affect and distort our reality today.

Churchbells ring over the beautiful city of Breda on this Sunday. Followers of a slightly different confession follow the call of our dear lord of the underworld. They gather at the BUT Film Festival to listen an introduction by Daan Tobias Sikkens, a specialist on new religions..and sit down watch SATAN WANTS YOU. Hail Satan!
