American Satan is seemingly a loosely rock band documentary style drama. It feels quite authentic in the music, the characters and the situations the characters go through. With no expectations, this film was better than expected. From the camera work, to the cinematography shots of the city and overall view, the style and tone of this film is very well done. Overall there is enough which keeps the story flowing with quite a bit of suspense along the way.
Some parts may be predictable for instance we knew the lead actor Johnny would get involved with the female band member in Lily causing an eventual finding out of his girlfriend. There were clear suspicions that Lily wasn't as she seemed to be, more so undercover or not truly a nice person. The other band members don't get much time to develop as characters but are seemingly there along the way. The portrayal of the devil like character of Capricorn was one of the more intriguing characters.
This is a film which seemingly feels like the writers did a lot of research which greatly benefited the film. A lot of attention to detail was thoughtful. Surprisingly more skin and explicit scenes than expected but given the subject matter, it made a purpose. Perhaps the film tried being more clever than it needed to be with its hidden messages and sublime integrity but it's worth the watch. American Satan movie definitely isn't perfect, but it is entertaining, it has a creative soundtrack, and a interesting story. Perhaps a future cult classic given its spin off tv series (having not yet seen but briefly heard of).
