While not breaking any new ground in the genre, American Satan is a stylish psychedelic thrill in the mold of a zany comedy that grows dark, quickly.

On the surface, American Satan is a horror movie about how the devil is bad, and entering into vague contracts with him will not make you happy. I’m not sure what audiences are supposed to get out of it otherwise.

No idea how this had some of the reviews it **** I had to waste my time watching at least some of it. It is not a good film, and if you want to watch a truly good movie about the music industry, watch the Doors, or Almost Famous, both superior to this film in every way, and well done. This film was mediocre, the writing was very banal, kindof low production value, acting just OK but not great, and just mediocre directing, everything. I had to skip through the first half of the time and watched the "incredible" ending that was written in the **** see it was nothing special. Premise had promise but it was done in a low-budget way, completely mediocre and not a very good film. Not the worst film either though, maybe watch it if literally nothing else is on at **** be bored with its mediocrity. 5/10 is generous.

Don't let the majority of these reviews fool you, this is the worst movie I've ever seen! HORRIBLE acting, annoying characters, boring, cliche, cringey script, etc. Definitely not worth watching.
