Manages a playful sensibility, reveling in its repugnance and enjoying the heck out of its twisted ending.

At the end, you feel they should have thrown out Rosemary's baby with the bath water.

An eyecatching calling card for its first-time director.

If only Cassel had saved his performance for a collaboration with the League of Gentlemen.

Despite the air of brutish aggression and sexual predatoriness, little happens until gory retribution finally rears its head.

As a grotesque parody of the hillbilly-terror genre, it has a real wit and energy.

A contrived and very self-conscious genre piece of hardcore black-comedy horror in a 1970s vein.

Has plenty of atmosphere but can't make up for unpleasant characters and a meandering story.

Vincent Cassel is the overpowering presence here; his perma-grinning, unkempt Joseph is brilliantly unsettling.

Despite some pretentious touches – a night-spot named Club Styxx, a guard dog called Cerberus – Satan doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Entertaining and genuinely creepy at times this boasts strong performances from its French cast.
