Satanis: The Devil's Mass

The film is a study of Anton Szandor LaVey, leader of a cult of devil worshipers in San Francisco. He and his Church of Satan are shown performing a black mass, in which a nude woman serves as an altar and a boa constrictor wraps itself around a naked witch. Newsreel footage is included in which LaVey's neighbors are interviewed about the lion which he kept in his house until complaints resulted in the animal's removal to a zoo. The ideology of the Church of Satan is discussed--guilt rejection, sexual freedom, and self-indulgence.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Having spoken a well-read LaVey satanist in a Gothic pub one time, I figured I somehow understood what LaVey satanism was all about. It's just an expression of your hedonistic self. "Satan" is just a reference to self-indulgence and symbolic for the counter-cultural nature of this philosophy. It is just a way to separate the really enlightened individuals, who come to realize that self-indulgence is the highest form of existence. Or so he told me.Yet when I saw this video, I felt like LaVey was nothing but an adult with the mind of an adolescent, screwing around and inventing all sorts of generic rituals to incorporate into his "religion" just to shock the WASP environment and just to get off as his exhibitionist self with his friends and associates. This was not how I imagined LaVey to be and it really made me lose the last respect I still have for this guy.Considering this film is just a "shockumentary" filmed in the most boring way possible, it's hard to give any rating higher than a 2. The only reason I still give it a 2 instead of a 1 is the somewhat entertaining value of seeing a bunch of adults involved in the most ridiculous of rituals.

"Satanis: The Devil's Mass" is a United States account concerning the "Church of Satan". It was released in 1970 and is directed and produced by Ray Laurent. It shows various clips of interviews of "Church of Satan" founder Anton LaVey's family, neighbors and "Church of Satan" members.I screened this picture for the first time ever tonight and I thought it was boring and a cure for insomnia. I've seen a lot of scary films and things in my personal life, so perhaps that's why the documentary didn't disturb me. I suppose if you've never viewed the kind of eccentric activities Mr. LaVey and his followers do, you may find the movie entertaining. I felt however that the only good part of the flick was when Anton LaVey talked about what he believes, but that's it.I realize in it's day, this might have been a scary and shocking flick since Satanism was a taboo subject. Be that as it may, standards have changed greatly in society, so anyone living today will most likely not be affected by it because it's tame compared to other projects.This motion picture is most likely not intended to be frightening, but to educate. However, I think most viewers who are not familiar with the topic mostly are going in for shocks and scares and it does not have that in my view. In any case, if you're needing to seriously study this subject, it makes for a good movie and will teach you what you need to know.

Anton LaVey was one of the most intelligent men that ever walked this earth.Satanism got a bad rap because everyone thought they were mutants that only lived to kill babies and listen to bad heavy metal. La Vey sets the record straight by pointing out it's 'natural' inclinations.La Vey came off as the showman that he is. One gets the feeling he loves putting people on.I thought seeing the other (Unknown) people that joined him was interesting. The fact that folks from all walks of life joined his movement.This really should be seen by those who truly believe in freedom of religion. This shows a side of one of the most misrepresented religions that ever existed.

For those of us who were turned on to Satanism after LaVey's death and never got a chance to see the infamous "black house" (now demolished) this is as close to it and its magic that we're going to get. The ritual sequences in this film are fantastic, the occasional infared camera work really adds to the diabolical mood. LaVey presents himself in this film as a sensitive soft spoken gentleman with a great sense of humor and a philosopher's mind, much to the dismay of many an armchair Christian. By contrast, the Christians interviewed in this film are stark, boring and dull. LaVey's flock are equally charming in this film and appear as a group of fun loving freaks who, with their arcane sense of individuality, have formed an elite think tank to be reckoned with. Each of them are truly a star in Crowley's sense of the word, as each of their colorful personalities demonstrate, (the adorable elderly woman reminds me of my grandmother). For those who want an introduction to Satanism this was/is the real deal. Shemhamforash! I give it a 9/10.
