The trailer for 'Satan Wants You' uncovers the hysteria behind the infamous Satanic Panic.
Attendees from all over the world are getting ready to kick off the ten-day entertainment event known as SXSW. From film to television, podcasts, and music, every creative outlet is represented at the festival in Austin, Texas, which serves as a platform for filmmakers to debut their projects and bands to take the center stage of showcases.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY For anyone who believes the hysteria that caught like wildfire around the time of the Salem Witch Trials or even the Red Scare could never happen again, The Devil Wants You is here to remind you that not only did it happen in the 1980s and 1990s but that there are still similar instances happening today. The teaser introduces audiences to the famous book that started it all: Michelle Remembers.
The book would kick off the Satanic Panic and, as we see in the trailer, lead to similar claims made by a wave of other alleged victims. From The Oprah Winfrey Show to Geraldo, people were stepping forward in droves to tell their stories after having their memories refreshed thanks to Michelle Remembers. Depicting the widespread terror of the time through interviews, viewers will come to understand how one woman’s allegations led to the wrongful convictions of many innocent lives.
Celebrating its premiere this Saturday at the SXSW Film Festival, Satan Wants You will screen in the festival’s Documentary Spotlight section. Check out the trailer below.
