My take: If you like satanic cult movies, you might like this one from the period where those types of movies were at their height.
Rating: 2 out of 4 stars
In my last post on the Dunwich Horror, I commented on my old belief that all horror films from the 1970s were about satanic cults. Well, here’s another one that reinforces my old stereotype about horror from that era.
The Brotherhood of Satan is about a family who become stranded in a terrified town. People throughout the town have become victims of gruesome and inexplicable deaths. No one in town can determine the cause or the killer, and children keep disappearing from these scenes of violent death.
Those pesky satan worshippers are up to something.
As you can guess from the title of the movie and from the start of my review, there is a satanic cult behind these deaths. If satanic cults scare you, then you might enjoy this film. It’s got some gory death scenes, creepy children, and some decent suspense. However, I don’t find satanic cults to be particularly scary subjects for horror. As a result, I would only recommend this movie as a deep cut for fans of horror.
I rented the movie from Amazon. Here is the trailer on YouTube:
