Gosh, These Devil Worshipers Wouldn't Hurt A Fly!, 11 January 2007
6/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

Two young joggers are out in some remote hills in Virginia, about a half hour away from the BAU. The male, a local football hero, is in better shape than his cheerleader-girlfriend, and he goes on. Resting for about a minute, she hears noises, starts to get nervous and runs on and then discovers her boyfriend dead in the woods. Someone comes up near her, but all we see are boots.

After that beginning, we see the local cops examining the area. One comes upon skeleton and a Satanic message craved in a tree. The BAU is called in. They discuss the history of satanic rituals, etc., Dr. Reid being the usual know-it-all. Soon, they hear about a missing girl as the mother hysterically comes looking for her daughter, whom she knew was with the slain kid.

The team has to find whose behind this, of course, and if they can save this young girl who also was taken.

A so-so episode except for the obvious left wing preaching (Lord knows they would never make a Satan cult leader a truly bad person. A Christian, certainly, but not a man who condemns them. Instead, he's "thought-provoking!" In fact, the writers go out of their way to point out - several times - that Satan worshipers never hurt anybody!!! Yeah, right!

This is one of those shows where the viewer thinks, "This could have been so much better."
