Corso immerses himself in a labyrinth full of pitfalls and temptations, disturbing encounters, violence and mysterious deaths while attempting to ascertain the authenticity of the books.

Dove Review

What is the draw of this film? The “hero” is an unscrupulous, fornicating nonbeliever who drinks and smokes constantly. The film’s plotline centers on the world of demonology and devil worship. And the production is unevenly paced, lacking energy or an interesting performance by its star. You’ll get a far more accurate portrait of Satan from reading the Bible than viewing this hellish hodgepodge.
