Description

Three icons of extreme ’70s/’80s horror — Felissa Rose of SLEEPAWAY CAMP, Ellen Sandweiss of THE EVIL DEAD and Edwin Neal of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE — come together in this terrifying journey into the black heart of brutality. What begins as a fun family vacation in the wilderness of the Pine Barrens soon becomes a nightmare of torment delivered by a depraved clan of backwoods psychopaths and the bloodcrazed beast known as ‘The Jersey Devil’. Enter if you dare: myth and madness are about to collide in the dark carnage of SATAN’S PLAYGROUND. Irma St. Paule (DESECRATION) and Ron Millkie (FRIDAY THE 13TH) co- star in this deliriously grisly low-budget epic written and directed by Dante Tomaselli that Arrow In The Head hails as "a relentless and uber-entertaining circus of horror sprinkled with magic mushrooms for good measure!"

    • Stars of THE EVIL DEAD, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSAC RE and SLEEPAWAY CAMP collide in a tale of unrelenting horror!
SATAN'S PLAYGROUND is the celluloid equivalent of one of those old fashioned wooden turntables they sell at Sharper Image. The turntable is bedecked with a newfangled cd and mp3 player but it plays "records" and "45's" of a bygone era. SATANS PLAYGROUND is-like that record player-a beautifully crafted hybrid of old time horror potently mixed with the latest tricks of the trade. It's a retro tv program beamed through an iPod. Director Dante Tomaselli's third feature in 6 years is a begiling stew of maniacal old women, a family in jeopardy and the Jersey Devil lore. A priceless performance by veteran Irma St. Paule-she is the actress who cursed the character in STEPHEN KING'S THINNER- sets this sleek horror engine in motion and for nearly 90 minutes never runs out of gas. Tomaselli's storytelling is a campfire tale gone awry. Like those childhood stories it was never the tale being told that compelled you to listen till the end-it was how it was told and the twists and turns it took to reach a shocking ending. You never are quite sure what will happen to these characters and no rules are followed. The director bludgeons the viewer with set pieces that stay with you long after the movie fades to black. Disturbing scenes of torture, babies in peril and an overall feeling of dread render this a unique viewing experience. While Tomaselli's detractors have felt he's lacking in the scenarist department(who is more nonlinear and slight on dialogue than the revered David Lynch?)-his painterly, mystifying and bewildering visual power resonates . His film is a blank canvas saturated with visceral brilliance . Shorn of all it's pungent visuals, SATANS PLAYGROUND is still your Daddy's horror film. From the outdoor 70s setting, to the amazing score and including the use of modern day horror icons-Ellen Sandweiss from THE EVIL DEAD, Felissa Rose from SLEEPAWAY CAMP and Edwin Neal from the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE -Tomaselli winks at his knowing audience who grew up on seeing these stars from countless trips to their local video store. By heaving no sense of place or time in his movie-the director gives his viewers=brilliantly-a comfort zone of recognition and all the baggage that comes with it. It adds a layer of backstory and texture that most new modern horror movies are seriously lacking. Felissa Rose is back with an elegant vengeance in a role far removed from Angela in SLEEPAWAY CAMP. While there's no questioning her gender here- for a woman she still has balls. Rose is a 2006 scream queen that is maimed and tortured and still perseveres. She pulls off a complex role of mother of a autistic teenager and Satanic battler very nicely. Ellen Sandweiss is back in the woods a quarter of a century after THE EVIL DEAD. It's a surprising, subtle performance that is the most sympathetic of all. Sandweiss is still a looker and Mothers everywhere can relate to her arc here. Neal looks as if he walked off the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE set right on to Tomaselli's without skipping a beat. He defies the test of time and is quite good as a misunderstood monster of a villain. The aforementioned Irma St Paule is the blackened heart of the piece-a frantically throbbing performance. In a small but pivotal role, Christie Sanford scares you senseless as the child/woman that is in her own world. It's a chilling role and Sanford who has worked with Tomaselli on 3 movies-seems to have an iron clad patent on kooks-and she does it brilliantly. Also a vteran of Tomaselli's three features is the handsome, bewitching Danny Lopes as the autistic teen. Lopes' role is nearly mute but he conveys to the audience a true portrait of a person locked in a prison he cannot escape. Felissa Rose is his mother-her character is as tortured ouwarfly as Sean the teen is tortured internally. lopes has a future-he command sympathy in a very unsympathetic film. He's the tootsie roll center of this tootsie pop film-all gooey and warm and hard to reach in the cany colored, hardened shell which is the films tone. SATANS PLAYGROUND is a feast for the eyes and ears. It recaptures the feel of a Seventies horror classic while being an upwardly mobile horror film of the now and the future. It is scary, thoughtprovoking, manipulative fun that will disturb you and give you nightmares. Horror has been thriving as of late-not surprising as its a catharsis for the true horror in the world we live in. SATANS PLAYGROUND =if you go into it with no expectations-will wallop you senseless. For those of u who know Tomaselli's previous films-HORROR and DESECRATION-we have the privilege of seeing a talent form before our eyes like a new pod in INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. It looks like all the other horror films but has a sinister side to it that enthralls. A perfect Halloween treat. ... show more

    • great old school visuals
Dante Tomaselli's third film is a psychadelic campfire tale. It's grim, lush, creepy in some parts and funny in others. Taking the familiar 'getaway gone to hell' setup, we meet the Bruno family, circa 1980-83; consisting of Donna(Felissa Rose of SLEEPAWAY CAMP), her autistic son Sean(Danny Lopes), Paula(Ellen EVIL DEAD Sandweiss!) and her newborn Anthony, and grumpy Frank(Salvatore Paul Piro). It's clear right off the bat that the trip is getting tense, and the family's dysfunctions aren't helped by a cramped car ride through the Barrens. During a near-accident, Paula and Sean are terrified by a shadow that seems to fly over the station wagon, and the family discovers an abandoned general store with money still in the register and claw marks on the wall..they get points from me for quickly bailing though. Later, the car dies(naturally) and Sean seems to perceive something in the treetops peering down at them. Frank goes for help, and the one house with lights on is the one house he should never have stopped at. "Are you hear for a reading?" croaks Mrs. Leeds(Irma St. Paule), a weathered gypsy/palm reader who coaxes Frank into a disgusting back room, which he will never come out of. Donna, frustrated, goes to look for Frank, and one by one like lambs to the slaughter, one dysfunctional family will meet THE dysfunctional family...who will survive and what will be left of them? Old-school and loving it, with nods to the 70's-80's classic scare films, director Tomaselli takes his time setting up the foreboding mood...you constantly feel that something is watching and following from above...the woods is as important a character as any of the cast here, and one gets the feeling that everything that happens here is the result of that woods' influence. From Mrs. Leeds' murderous children to the unseen beast that slaughters passersby, to strange hooded men conducting sacrifices, the Barrens twists the minds of all who pass through it. Dante further explores the themes he tapped into in his earlier films DESECRATION and HORROR; broken family dynamics, people stuck in childhood, trauma manifesting as supernatural violence- but this time keeps the narrative straightforward and unambiguous. People who may have liked the imagery and design of his previous films but didn't follow the dream-logic will be able to follow this one quite well. It's a simple, nasty setup where the cast list keeps shrinking as the minutes tick off. With all the madness going on, it's not suprising that he decided not to keep a straight face..there's a twisted sense of playfulness here, not as dead-serious as Dante's past films. Irma St. Paule as Mrs. Leeds (the woman who, in folklore, birthed the Jersey Devil) is alternately a creepy, campy hoot-every time she comes to the door you're not sure what to expect. There's a hilarious scene where ANOTHER random traveler stops at the Leeds house looking for a phone and bumps into a terrified member of the Bruno family begging for help, and gets scared off! It's the type of humor that actually can work in a horror film, it comes naturally out of the situation and isn't shoehorned in like most of the forced jokes in the BOOGEYMAN-era of fake fear films. Make no mistake here though, it's no comedy. An abduction sequence is particularly chilling. The violence is cringe-inducing, with a lot of people on the recieving end of mallets, cleavers, and rocks. Most of the grue is offscreen, save one moment that will have the gorehounds punching the air in delight. The cinematographer makes this $500,000 indie look like 5 million plus. On the cast side, though I wish we got to know them better before they start losing body parts, it's a minor quibble; Felissa is great, she's magnetic and manages to find shading in a character that has to spend nearly the entire film terrified. Lopes is intriguing as her mentally challenged son but his role is brief. Can I say what a joy it is to see Ellen Sandweiss running through the woods again after 20 years offscreen? Christie Sanford, a regular in DT's films, plays a sinister womanchild made up like a doll who would like nothing more than to play croquet with your head. Ed Neal gets to play backwoods psycho, I wish we saw more of him. Piro is fun as the head of the family and gets some of the best lines, while Ron Millkie cameos as the world's most ignorant cop. Overall, it's a fine f**ked-up freakshow. ... show more

    • Very Good Independent Film
I'm a fan of Tomaselli's earlier work `Horror', but had read some bad reviews on Satan's Playground. I decided to let the movie stand for itself and picked it up. I'm glad I did. There's no doubt that different people are looking for different things in a horror movie, and this one really delivered the goods for me. They made a very intelligent choice in not showing the Jersey Devil. This forces the viewer to use their imagination, which will always be far worse than anything shown on the screen. The actors were convincing in every way, from creepy as hell to just plain rude. Danny Lopes was excellent as Sean the autistic boy. Give this movie a try and see if you like it, I'll wager that you'll be quite surprised in how intelligent and well made an independent film can be. ... show more

    • Don't play on...
The package could have been better prepared. The DVD case was toast when I opened up the simple bubble wrap envelope. Thankfully the DVD was intact. But concerning the movie, it's a fun "satanic panic" flick based on the Jersey Devil legend. Decent performances all around, with some original and creepy characters. Good if minimal gore effects. Nice atmosphere to it. The behind the scenes extras are nice as well. ... show more
