Satanic Fear

About This Movie

Satanic Fear is a rather intriguing and obscure entry in the late '80s horror landscape. It revolves around Dr. Brogan, who takes on a patient named Helena—she's in this vegetative state after witnessing some brutal murders. The atmosphere here is thick, like something's always lurking just out of sight. What really caught my attention are the painful visions Helena begins to transmit; it’s like the film plays with the idea of trauma being a physical entity. The pacing is slow but deliberate, creating an unsettling tension as you get deeper into Helena's psyche. The practical effects have a grungy authenticity that's refreshing, though they might not be polished by today's standards. Performances are somewhat raw but add to the film's eerie charm. Overall, it’s a unique piece that scratches a certain itch for those who appreciate the underbelly of horror TV movies.

Noteworthy for its exploration of trauma. · Atmospheric tension builds throughout the film. · Practical effects that lend a gritty feel.
