Satanic Panic Extraveganza

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Did you enjoy director Danny Carrales' movie about a devout executive, his wife and her mother who have different visions of the Rapture in the "The Gathering" (1998)? If you know what the hell I'm talking about, than this movie was made for you.

This movie is a product of the Satanic Panic, a phenomenon in American history were widespread fear about the presence of Satanic ritual during the 1970s, and to an even greater extent during the 1980s and 1990s, was common in an attempt to suppress any activities considered anti-Christian, such as rock music, masturbating, and using one's own imagination. Life would be hell if I couldn't masturbate while pretending to be heavy metal Jesus.

This is a film about mental health. It is NOT a fantasy

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

I repeat, this is NOT a fantasy. The sappy intro music should have told even the simplest of simpletons that much.
It's also not a hit piece on D&D and it doesn't look down on the people who play this game.
Take a step back. Forget there is a game going on in the background, and study the characters. There is even a bit of foreshadowing going on at the beginning.

My kids actually wanted to watch this one with me but it was their bedtime. to be perfectly honest there is nothing in here a child can't see. other kids may find it rather boring. My kids would actually enjoy it for the simple fact that they enjoy sociology (yeah we're weird....sue me...) they also enjoy fantasy and anything related to D&D, unfortunately this is not that. The game takes a backseat. the majority of the film is all about building the characters and showing how each one has a personal battle that only they can fight (who doesn't!?)

Still a good movie unless you're looking for naughty armor, men in furry underpants and people waving magic swords over their heads.

Not today Satan

My son played Dungeons and Dragons in our basement with all his big hairy friends. They'd wear a lot of leather, always be sweaty. So scary! And all the grunting from the basement really interfered with his mother's underwater basket weaving. I made him watch this and now he is perfectly normal. Outside, he is shooting squirrels with a pellet gun just like a regular 40 year old boy should.

Great film

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved playing D&D in college (I still do when time permits). This film shows the bonds that a game, any game, spent with people, can make. It also shows some of the historical hysterics that came along with D&D in the 70s/80s. It also shows how mental illness can be an unseen foe in any person. Great film. Slow moving, but gritty. Definitely recommend it.

Pure uncut memes

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Its such a ridiculous hit piece on D&D its meme worthy. I love how ignorant and stupid the writing was . They set up that all the kids paying the game have a bad home life and bad relationships with their parents and possibly mental illness BEFORE they even play the game. Thus undermining their own narrative that D&D is the Cause of them breaking down and going crazy. The concept hat the game is addictive and promotes anti-social behavior is so backwards it cute, like having an ass for a face and wearing gloves on your feet. D&D is such a social game its pretty much just excuse to gather around a table for five hours, drinking, smoking and talking with your friends, and oh yeah maybe advancing the campaign. This is just as ridiculous as the hit pieces on video games. Modern puritans find something cool and fun and try to convince people its the work of Satan.

So take it from a level 14 Fighter 5th edition "Stay away from the Devi's Chess", especially if your a normie.

D&D Madness

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

For those of you who are too young to remember or have lived through the 80's, this might just be a bad movie that featured Tom Hanks in his first starring role. But those of us who were nerds in the eighties will recognize the hysteria surrounding Dungeons and Dragons rearing it's ugly head here. After all, playing D&D will make you practice witchcraft, worship Satan, have sex (this I would have been ok with), kill your friends, and kill yourself. Not necessarily in that order. This movie reeks of that old fear. Add to that the ridiculous plot, bad writing, and unbelievable characters and you have a recipe for disaster. Some of it is almost unintentionally amusing, however.

I love an 80s movie but...

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you're expecting anything aside a slow descent into madness, I wouldn't watch this movie. For an 80's flick, it was well done... it just reads like a psychotically over protective parent's missive as to why teenagers shouldn't play Dungeons and Dragons. "Oh, I'm just worried that you'll start to forget that it's a game and you'll really run someone through with a sword. I'm a mother, I worry."

You mean this isn't a TOM HANKS new release? GTFO

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

Take it for what it is, not what you expect from it. Its a movie from the 1980's, based on the current hype of RPGs at the time. I felt it was an entertaining piece with a nice window into the past. I enjoyed and respected the cinematography and the screen play. Like a book, this movie leaves much up to the interpretation of the viewer, so those of you who have any imagination left will enjoy this. Contrary, those of you who need it all laid out for you may not find this movie to be worth the 1 and a half or so.

Brings back good old 80's memories

Brings back good old 80's memories, but the copy is made from a lousy source so the picture quality is also from an 80's VHS...

Classic 1980s anti-RPG hype, made-for-TV style!

Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2008

Verified Purchase

In terms of anti-Dungeons-&-Dragons-panic-inducing films, this is canon. I remember watching this on TV in the 80s when I was a kid. Along with the urban myths I'd heard about kids going crazy from playing D&D, it gave D&D a forbidden aura, and made me want to try it out. The anti-RPG perspective of this film (and Rona Jaffe's novel of the same title) is so campy it's quaint and enjoyable. Watch it again and again to see Tom Hanks in top form. ;)

DVD?! are you sure?

terrible dvd copy , can understand that's its an old cheap film, but the film isn't even in the middle of the screen, even when played on the pc theres a black strip down the left side and even a wider one on the right side with a fuzzy white line along the bottom. looks like its just been recorded of the tv onto a broken old tape and then put onto a cd.
