Amusing Horror/Comedy, 12 July 2003
7/10
Author: jasonpaulcollum from Chicago, IL USA

This is a tight, entertaining short about a begrudged son and his June Cleaver-esque wife returning to the home of his deceased father and discovering that not only was his "supposed" father a Satanist, but that he is actually the first-born son of Satan himself. He must then decide whether or not to use the powers of Hell to reign on Earth.

Don't let the ROSEMARY'S BABY synopsis fool you...this is not a rip-off. It seems to play as more of a MADTV-type take on, perhaps, what ROSEMARY'S BABY might do when he finally figured out his namesake. Additionally, it has some genuinely creepy moments, and the actors balance the line between seriousness and goof-ball perfectly. Remarkably well done for its low-budget.
