GOOD SATAN

Cinemavixion Review

Sara Lohman's comedic take on the infernal ruler, "Good Satan," presents a surprisingly relatable devil. The film posits Satan not as a cosmic force of evil, but as a creature of habit and pride, unceremoniously dumped into a celestial awkwardness he never anticipated. When summoned to Heaven, expecting a triumphant return, he instead finds himself at Christ's "Second Coming-out party," a social snub exacerbated by his ex moving on with a particularly unpleasant heavenly figure. This existential crisis, born from millennia of unchallenged dominion, leads Satan on a quest to reclaim God's respect, a motivation that injects a novel, albeit grudging, sense of care into the Devil's persona. Featuring a cast including Scott Rutherford, Scott MacArthur, and Ari Zagaris, this 2012 Canadian production offers a fresh, humorous perspective on divine and infernal dynamics, earning a respectable 6.3 on IMDb and a win at an unspecified award ceremony. It's a clever, character-driven comedy that explores themes of belonging and self-worth in the most unlikely of settings.
