Proof that even Satan got bored during the sexual revolution.

Programmer's Pick

When hippies found Satan and everyone seemed to want a piece, The Last Step Down delivered a leering, lethargic riff on cult initiation. Uschi Digard brings her notorious on-screen presence, but don't expect high stakes—just a haze of sacrificial libido and slacker gloom.
