So Halloween is closing in on us soon, which means everyone will be looking for a good scary movie to watch. If you happen to see Satan’s Playground on the video shelf of your favorite rental store, it’s best to keep on browsing.
Here’s the plot in a nutshell. A family is on their way for a vacation. Their car breaks down and one by one they head towards a house to use the phone. No one comes back to the car. So, if you were in their shoes, don’t you think you’d stay where you were?
Based on the legend of The Jersey Devil, which is said to haunt the New Jersey Pinelands region, writer/director Dante Tomaselli’s film stars Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp); Ellen Sandweiss (Evil Dead) and Edwin Neal (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) but the real stars of the movie with by far the best performances are Danny Lopes who plays Rose’s 18 year old autistic child and Christie Sanford as Judy.
