Hole Head 2010 - Program Guide 'Satan Hates You'
Satan Hates You
Dir: James Felix McKenney
A Monster Pants Movie
Satan Hates You is a low brow, low budget indie flick that plays to a punk rock beat with a main character that seems to channel Bukowski, drinking and murdering along his personal highway to hell. In this role we have the clearly lost soul of Marc. In a parallel universe and taking any suitor into the men’s room for a bit of “fun” between shots of tequila, puffing joints, popping pills and snorting powders we have Wendy who also appears hell bent and on a nefarious path as well.
This film takes us to hell and back with TV evangelists, Dungeons and Dragons geeks, a lesbian tarot card reader, born again church goers and an absolute odd couple of bible thumpers who run a local ‘no tell motel’ called The Viking. Nothing is sacred here and the path to damnation Satan Hates you takes you on consists of sinning, beatings, rapes and blood splattering murders that are possible. A twin set of Satan’s helpers are on hand to guide the direction of the weak and it seems that all souls here are clearly lost.
With this much very bad behavior and so many really bad people Satan Hates You begs to ask the obvious question. If Satan hates you does that mean then than Jesus Loves You? Perhaps. This rollicking madhouse of a film takes us into the path of no return with only a tiny glimmer of salvation as a flickering light at the end of the flaming tunnel of sin. Is a happy ending possible? Can you watch this film and the ending and call it happy? Well, consider yourself warned. This film is a bottle upside the head and a boot in the face. Happy endings? Ha! I’m not quite sure what you’ll want to call it, but it’s straight up brutal from start to finish.
