Premiered at the SXSW Film Festival, "Satan Wants You" gives us the untold story of how the Satanic Panic of the 80s and 90s was ignited by "Michelle Remembers", a book of lurid memoirs by psychiatrist, Larry Pazder, and his patient, Michelle Smith. Supported by the Catholic Church, the best-selling book was based on Michelle's memories, recovered through therapy, which revealed that she had been the victim of an abduction in her childhood by baby-stealing satanists... Amplified by the police and the boom of daytime shows on American television, the satanic rumours spread to terrified communities around the world, leaving a trail of destruction and wrongful convictions. This film delves into the roots of moral panic and cult conspiracies, showing how these events still affect and distort our reality today.
