"Satan's Playground," is independent horror director Dante Tomaselli's much anticipated third feature film. A return to 70's and early 80's style, Satan's Playground is a heart-stopping supernatural shocker chronicling a family's spine-tingling odyssey in New Jersey's legendary Pine Barrens region. En route to a wilderness camping retreat, their car inexplicably breaks down. As darkness falls, panic sets in. Then the marooned family stumbles upon an ancient and seemingly abandoned house. And it is here that they meet the bizarre Mrs. Leeds (Irma St. Paule) who lives there with her equally unhinged children. Offering no assistance, she warns of a violent, unseen force lurking in the forbidding countryside. Soon, the family will encounter a supernatural evil older than the woods themselves. This visually dazzling chiller stars Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Ellen Sandweiss (The Evil Dead), Edwin Neal (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Ron Millkie (Friday the 13th), Enter, if you dare...SATAN'S PLAYGROUND...a place where deadly myth becomes gruesome reality. -- © Em & Me Productions [More]

... a dream world in which we are constantly pulled back just as we think we are at the brink of reaching reality.

An ambitious and surprisingly disturbing tale that's heavier on the thematic ideas than on the gore (which is admirably restrained).

It's aim is off, and its intentions are skewed. It's the result of a horror fan taking himself - and his film - way too seriously.

A storybook fairy tale on acid.

At the end of the day, Satan's Playground let me down, a fact that I attribute primarily to the bad acting, nonsensical storyline, and lack of an appearance by the monster.

[A] richly atmospheric exercise in surreal horror.
