Well I must say this movie is a complete cinematic disaster.The characters act like some cartoons characters.Even Tom and Jerry would keep me more interested...The author of the movie inspired from a lot of other movies...like "The Texas chainsaw massacre"... Full review

I consider myself a fan of Mr. Dante as a writer and director. I enjoyed both desecration and Horror. Did they have good acting? Not really. Were they scary? Desecration had some creepy parts, but overall no. So why did... Full review

Dante Tomaselli, while obviously a big horror fan, still has yet to make a good horror movie. His latest, "Satan's Playground", while better than his previous genre venture "Horror", still isn't any good.The plot: A generally unlikeable family (which includes... Full review

Several nice jump-out-of-your-seat moments, and an abduction sequence is particularly chilling. Lopes is intriguing as her mentally challenged son but sadly his role is brief... It's the type of humor that actually can work in a horror film ... Full Review

His third feature, Satan's Playground, may be the charm. He has cast some familiar faces (Evil Dead's Ellen Sandweiss , Sleepaway Camp's Felissa Rose and Texas Chainsaw's Ed Neal), and the spare script that I read goes for the jugular in the manner of classic 70's screamers. ... Full Review

enter into "Satan's Playground" for some ghoulish fun.....None of the characters in this film are safe, including Paula's infant son, which makes the film all the more disturbing.....works as a fitting tribute to the cult films that inspired Tomaselli.....The unnerving music sweeps through the back as well, creating a nightmarish atmosphere around you that adds immensely to the feelings elicited onscreen.....While Felissa Rose and Ellen Sandweiss are commendable in their roles.... ...

SATAN'S PLAYGROUND comes with a pretty well mixed Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack. However, Tomaselli is an interesting visual stylist, whose films are worth seeing, with his latest film SATAN'S PLAYGROUND ($20) being his most accessible, thus far. ... Full Review
