SATAN is a Favorite!

Pop culture journalist Louis Fowler has just released his Belated Favorites of 2010 list, featuring his top five indies of the year. SATAN HATES YOU is one of the five:

"I know that the whole point of James (AUTOMATONS) McKenney's SATAN HATES YOU is a parody of 60s/70s Christian scare films, but I think it works even better than that because the wit here is so razor-sharp that you could show it to a local youth group and they'd be scared straight, no questions asked. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to wager my soul that McKenney, if he ever does get tired of the low-budget grind, could churn out some of the best faith-based horror movies for reals—maybe a movie version of the famed Hell House attraction? Or an anthology based on the works of Jack Chick?"

The NY Times Hates Satan!

Perhaps the Devil made her do it, but Jeannette Catsoulis of the New York Times was not amused by SATAN HATES YOU.

"Satan may not hate us, but the film’s writer and director, 

James Felix McKenney, surely does."

- Jeannette Catsoulis, THE NEW YORK TIMES

The Village Voice and Slant didn't feel particularly blessed by the film either:

"Conceptually, the film's a hoot: The very idea of having Scrimm, famous for playing a mute extraterrestial body snatcher in the PHANTASM movies, star as an angelic voice of salvation, is perversely perfect."

- Simon Abrams, THE VILLAGE VOICE

"Satan Hates You is self-conscious trash with occasional bite."
- Chuck Bowen, SLANT

May the Lord forgive them.
