MORE FUN THAN A BARREL OF MONKS
Oh ya gotta get this one. Early LaVey before his post mortem debunking by his daughter Zeena. And the naked ladies are just right for a serious nip and tuck, making this saga a saggy one. Warts and all. And...is that nerdy kid Isaac Bonewitz--the author of Real Magic and the first guy to graduate from Berkeley with a degree in Magic and Thaumaturgy? Stay tuned and find out. Take out the chalice of bourbon and sit back and enjoy, plus you get some great bonus material. A guy with the worst hairpiece in the world watches a tv (that's television) stripper back in the days when cellulite was a turn on, you get trailers for movies that should be seen only by people who live in trailers (...) It just don't git no better'n this. Ave Satanas and Hava Nagila and turn up the volume cause good old ASL tends to mumble a bit.

Great film, bad altars.
Good documentary of a very early CoS. Has some great interviews with LaVey basically saying everything he says in TSB. There isn't much new info in this film. There is also a charming older woman with some very funny things to say. Some of the Satanists in this film come off as being impressionable and seeking acceptance, while others come of as quite the opposite. I disagree with the statement another reviwer said about them all being low-class low-brow rejects. This is simply not the case. Some are obviously high-class high-brows. I know the geeky kid in the glasses was kicked out and attemted to debunk the CoS. Obviously he wasn't very successful. My main gripe is the altar girls. The ones used for this film were quite unsightly.

Sinthia - The Devil's Doll is moronic. A total 1.5 hour psychedelic waste of time. I have a feeling all the actors were paid with drugs.

The bonuses aren't great either. The CoS is planning on releasing a better version of this film, so you might want to hold off on buying this mediocre version. The film gets 4 stars because it has what I bought it for, but to much stupid stuff.

Ave Satanas!

UGH! Put your clothes back on!!!!
SATANIS: The Devil's Need for Clothes

BEWARE: The "nude women on the altar" are rather plump and geriatric, so don't go thinking this'll be some sort of supermodel type of nudity, because it ain't! And it ain't pretty! I only wish someone had warned me about it first.
LaVey is articulate and confident and speaks his mind beautifully, as does his then-wife Diane. Daughter Karla thinks the whole thing is just weird, and unfortunately the outrageously-beautiful youngest daughter Zeena was just a baby then.
It has it's moments of humor, in particular at the beginning when they finish up the ritual and LaVey dismissively says "well, that's all for that part" or something to that effect.
Mostly it reveals the types of people that are drawn into LaVey's ideology. They are primarily not the high society types, and frankly are quite low society. The main altar lady--a 50-ish creature who simply should never be unclothed, even in a home for the blind--discusses at length her low income youth and comes off as trailer trash, as do a couple others. And during a ritual scene you see one very geeky-looking teenaged nerd who looks like that computer whiz you beat up in high school on a daily basis. It's no surprise to see some of these outcasts there looking for acceptance.
And that's what opened my eyes to what it's really all about: a safe haven for geeks and old ladies. Thanks, I'll pass.
The Sinthia movie is forgettable. Just an excuse to show some skin. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just that, like SATANIS, the skin quality isn't that great except for the main character. Neither has been remastered, so they look their age, even on disc.
