Combining anarchic knockabout comedy with nerve-shredding suspense, jet-black humour and gut-wrenching bloody horror, young, cutting-edge French filmmaker Kim Chapiron’s debut feature SATAN is bizarre, strange and genuinely creepy.
A night out clubbing in Paris takes a nasty turn for three friends (One Vietnamese, one African, one French), when they accept the invitation of the beautiful Eve (A Ma Soeur’s Roxanne Mesquida) to celebrate Christmas by visiting her house in the country. Once there they meet the manically grinning caretaker Joseph (a scene-stealing performance from Vincent Cassel (Irreversible, La Haine), who also has a Producer credit) who welcomes the out of town guests while his heavily pregnant wife Marie lurks upstairs. That evening, what begins innocently as Christmas dinner turns into disturbing conversations about sex, satanic possession and evil. As the weekend progresses Joseph’s behaviour only gets more erratic and the young friends realise their host has made a demonic pact. All hell is about to break loose.
A no-holds barred, in your face cinematic orgy of twisted comedy, SATAN will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
