My theory is that the makers of this inept mess did so on purpose as some kind of lark.

In spite of the absurdity of the story the movie never quite rises to the level of camp. Still, there is some small measure of entertainment in watching this slop.

I know....I was there in Virginia Beach. I'm surprised it even got finished. Funny Sayre doesn't even have the balls to take credit for directing this turd. The Virginian-Pilot even investigated Sayre and his brother to see if this was even a real movie and not just taking advantage of local talent and services. They left a wake of of unhappy people behind. I learned a lot about how not to make movie from Steve Sayre. Nice to see he's been very busy since 1993. I said all I had to say in two sentences, but IMDb requires 10 lines of text. So I must continue to berate this mogul. Let's see.....the crew was kicked out of a hotel for spilling blood everywhere. The DP ruined hardwood floors in a mansion by not retracting the tripod studs. And the police shut down a set in the city as they had no permit to shoot. It was a circus. Ah....the good old days.

I was in the movie too. I was one of the cops that drove up and jumped out of the driver's side and got shot. (We actually were cops and used our assigned police car) It was partially filmed in an empty lot and building in Portsmouth beside the MLK freeway. Also, I was the k-9 officer searching the body near the pier. This was at Billy Franklin's house in Virginia Beach.

If you freeze frame the movie you will see that the police car that blows up is little plastic model on a cinder-block. It even had an LAPD logo (from the model kit) on the side. I found a VHS copy of the move on the net about 6 or so years ago. I just found it packed away in a box from when I moved. I can't wait to watch it again.

I gave it a 10 (excellent) rating because it was so fun to be a "movie star" for a day.

"The Satan Killer" is a gem of a movie. Unfortunately, I believe the more popular war movies buried this gem in the ground due to the concurring Iraqi war that was going on. This movie represents a time of innocence in a world that had all but forgotten it. A particular short (but sweet) scene that continues to intrigue me to this day was the back alley execution of the pimp. Three Punk rock onlookers step out in a curious manner and watch the Satan killer march triumphantly down the alley. Why did he ignore these kids? Was it that his animalistic hunger had been fed with his latest victim? Or was a Camaraderie felt between him and the punks? A social metaphor nonetheless. I am curious to know what these kid's backstory was. Are we missing something lost in the editing room? I hope to get a directors cut release to satisfy my curiosity as I am sure it will reveal more of these three fine actors.

Dude, this is the cult classic of all cult classics. I have never seen such a bizarre yet entertaining film before. It is so bizarre that it goes beyond explanation. The film goes from one scene to the next in a way that makes you feel that it is really happening and you are watching it via security cameras. Hard to explain, but I did my best. And, oh yeah, there is a tough old cop that grabs everyone by the balls and walks them around until they tell him what he wants to know.

Another point of interest is the cute girls they have scattered throughout the movie--especially the cute blonde at the beginning in the pool skinny dipping.
