A bruised teen finds dubious sanctuary in a Florida Satanist cult, but hell is never simple.
SATAN'S CHILDREN
Devil worshipping has changed them into ...
Runaway teen Bobby is given shelter by a friendly cult of Satanists, but his presence--and questionable sexuality--leads to conflicts within Satan's Children, especially after a lesbian member is damned to Hell. But Bobby proves to be one sick puppy, which he demonstrates in ways that would even make the devil smile. So hilarious, homophobic, and just plain insane, you'd think Lucifer himself was personally involved!
Quick Answer

Programmer's Pick
Satan's Children is the sort of grindhouse relic only the truly brave (or the deeply curious) will attempt. It’s a fever dream of homoerotic menace, cultish drama, and Florida oddity that makes you wonder what film reels were getting passed around Lucifer’s living room.
