Programmer's Pick

Between Satanic rituals, seaside settings, and a mad doctor’s twisted interests, The Feast of Satan checks most giallo boxes with a sultry cast and a dose of hypnotic black magic. Krista Nell brings both beauty and danger to a story that’s equal parts Euro-sleaze and occult thriller.
