A singular portrait depicting Satanists in both the every day and the extraordinary REALM OF SATAN is a ritualistic documentary that casts a spell on viewers, luring them into a mystical world of magic, mystery, and misanthropy.

Critics Consensus

Realm of Satan squanders its visual flair and experimental ambition on a series of disjointed vignettes, offering little else besides bizarre spectacle and shallow insights.

The film isn’t designed to challenge what you think you know about the Church of Satan.

3.5/10

The documentary feels like something that could have been deeply engrossing had the filmmaker selected an alternate narrative structure.

Realm of Satan is a movie with a lot of promise, which it sadly fails to live up to. And that’s a shame because visually there is something there, even if that something is occasionally bafflingly bizarre.
