A Son of Satan

A Son of Satan follows the misadventures of a man who accepts a bet to spend a night in a haunted house. The film is notable for its exploration of themes such as violence and societal norms, leading to significant distribution problems due to censorship. Censors objected to the film's content, which included violent scenes and references to miscegenation, causing it to be banned in some regions.

Directed, written, produced, and distributed by Oscar Micheaux, A Son of Satan is a significant work within the genre of silent race films. The film was shot in locations such as The Bronx, New York, and Roanoke, Virginia, adding to its historical context. Unfortunately, no print of the film is known to exist today, making it a presumed lost film and a point of interest for collectors focusing on rare and historically significant media.
