Not “Club Satan.” No, this film is unlike any porno you’ve ever seen. It has been called “the most shocking and controversial adult film to be released in years.” Mainstream critics and fans say it’s without a doubt hardcore pornography, while the porn community calls it an art film. I’ll admit it is somewhere in between the two. So much so that I’ll as go as far as saying Bugbee’s movie is revolutionary.

It’s not simply because “Club Satan” is the first full-fledged satanic porno. Take away the Satanism. Take away the first black mass caught on film since Anton LaVey’s “Satanis” over 30 years ago. Take away the blood. Take away the upside down crosses, the pentagrams and all the anti-religious stuff. Take away Satan having his salad tossed. Take away the money shot on Jesus’ face, which had some actors feeling Bugbee went too far and walking off the set. Take away all of these things and this still is not your daddy’s favorite high dollar Jenna Jameson DVD he has hidden in his night stand.

What is so ground breaking about “Club Satan” is it looks and feels like an actual movie. One that just so happens to show explicit nudity and sexual acts. It’s a bit too sinister and sexual to simply be labeled an art house film. It’s extremely trippy in a “Natural Born Killers” sort of way, while partially feeling like a surreal low budget exploitation film. It also has a seventies horror vibe to it, possibly even Giallo, but no one dies and there is no mystery to be solved.

The lighting is dark and harsh. The colors of the film are mostly black and red. Some sex scenes were even shot using red gels. The soundtrack is loud and angry, consisting of black metal greats Dark Funeral, who also appear in the film, and Society 1, whose lead singer Matt “The Lord” Zane acts in the movie as a Satanic high priest. Also providing music are Electric Wizard, Crypt 33, Fuck Emos, Wicked Little Dolls, Namsilat, Heathen Barrett Urban, and Acheron. To top it off, the editing of “Club Satan” is pretty bad ass as far as skin flicks go. Tell me, when is the last time you saw jump cuts on purpose, bits of slow-motion or fast-forward and reverse slow-mo used in a porno? The finale’s gangbang black mass even puts the speedy “Lone Ranger” scene in “A Clockwork Orange” to shame.

Not so bad, when they masturbate on that head of da
