Sweet satan

OK... lets get the record straight. This movie is about Ricky Kasso, a knob of a teen who was involved in a "Satanic" cult called The Knights of the Black Circle. He killed his friend over drugs, and was high on mescaline when he did it. Nothing extraordinary, just strange. Fear Factory does a great song called 0-0 about this murder...its on the album Obsolete. I cant believe the review someone wrote about this movie talking about Satan worship and such... thanks for the religious right comment, but there are much more shocking things out there than some high school kid killing his friend over some imaginary bad guy. Thats right, I said it... Satan is my favorite IMAGINARY character. Well, him and Han Solo, and the tall man from Phantasm. This is a short film (like 20-30mins or so) but is really good. Good luck finding it. Watching this movie combined with a little internet research on the subject (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/4077/kasso.html) makes for a nice night of psychotropy.

i just saw a bootleg copy of my sweet satan, and i have a really hard time believing that this wasn't meant to be funny. i am also a maker of low quality films and finishing a shot when someone popped this in. it was hilarious! the drug use, the "satanism", the portrayal of teenage wasteland, we couldn't stop laughing! we're people ever really scared of this?

on the production side-it was actually well done considering what i hear he had to work with.

the acting is bad, but i doubt he was paying anybody, so that is forgiveable.

"My Sweet Satan" is the story ( in 20 minutes ) of Ricky's life. Ricky, played by Jim Van Bebber himself, is a satanist who spends his time listening to hard-rock ( mainly Sepultura ), taking drugs (marihuana, acids, LSD, breathing helium... ) and trying to convince his friends that Satan is the Master. I won't tell how, but Ricky end up suicided in a cell.

The movie is interesting, not really for the story, but for all the experiments we happen to see in less than 20 minutes : Ricky's haircut, with all the drugs, long-haired people drinking, killing, sacrificing animals, throwing over... such a nice atmosphere! Through "My Sweet Satan", we see what the word 'underground' means -a lot of ideas, but with a very modest budget. And we also see here that it was the beginning of his career - although the result is quite cool. Highly recommanded for the jilted generation, at least interesting for everybody, but I keep thinking "Roadkill"(1994) and "Deadbeat at Dawn" are better.

7/10

I think this movie is awesome. It is pretty funny how they try so hard to keep the name of Satan respected when them themselves are doing disrespectful acts. I thought it had a very creative sick and twisted end to this film. But those kids have taken one to many drugs if they think that is what Satan really wants them to do. Free doses!!!!

I recently bought Arrow's excellent blu-ray of Jim Van Bebber's cult classic "Deadbeat by Dawn" (1988), amongst the extras are four of his short films including this one, however the year given is 1993, not 1994. Once again Van Bebber not only writes and directs but also plays the lead role. In this instance he is Ricky, a Satanist with "Ozzy" tattooed on his knuckles who wears an Iron Maiden t-shirt and sports a bizarre Hare Krishna type haircut. He and a fellow Satan metalhead pick on a teen called Gary who sports a shocking ginger mullet. Ricky - "Say you love Satan", Gary - "I love my mother". At only 14 minutes there is very little plot but we are treated to must be the most violent and goriest human sacrifice that I have seen. Odd flashes of old carvings and paintings of The Devil make a nice touch. A close up of a nipple piecing is not for the screamish!
