Satan (Charlie Davao). You've probably heard of the guy. What you haven't heard about him, you'll learn from this Filipino movie. Namely, that he's quite a good looking fellow in his black suit, which makes a nice contrast to his red skin, his wee little hornies and his trident. Still, he can't find a bride. Fortunately, he has a servant, the Prince of Magic, who is, when he is not interrupting the sado-masochistic variant of Christianity we have heard so much about and bullying people, on the look-out for fresh brides.
The younger those turn out to be, the better. Virginity is of course a given. Their newest victim is young enough to lead to the uncomfortable question: Is Satan a pederast?
Well, we'll never get the answer to that one in this film, because the girl's father, a denim jacket clad, mustachioed MAN called Lando (Ramon Revilla), is going to kick Satan's ass. After he has stumbled through an endless cave system, fought snakes that turn into naked people & naked girls that turn into animals, met God (best guest star ever), multiplied himself to beat the equally multiplied Prince of Magic and has shot a lot of scribbled-in energy blasts from his elbow and The Mighty Staff of Blasting +10 God gave to him, that is.
Unfortunately The Killing of Satan isn't as awesome as I make it sound here. Its insanity factor is kept lower than one would like by a relatively sane and sedate first half that provides just enough moments of WTF to keep one awake for the much more entertaining second half.
But you won't hear me complaining too loudly about a film guest starring God, no Sir! I don't want Him to send Lando to smite me.

There's no way to make this movie sound unappealing, is there? Between dresden's review and your review, I really must see it.
I'd be really surprised if you didn't like it.
