Brotherhood of Satan (1971) 

 

Directed by: Bernard McEbeety

Starring: Strother Martin, LQ Jones

They say if your car breaks down in the middle of the desert your life expectancy is pretty slim. And they actually make step-by-step survival guides for this particular dilemma, because obviously it has happened to more than just this innocent passer-by family. Instructions may include: don't let minor distractions interfere with your own wreckless driving. For instance, if you spot a road side accident with bodies and limbs mangled about, don't stop for any dead body. Instead, the naïve bunch earn their good as a dead doorknob summaritan award by driving back to the nearest town to inform the law authorities. Little did the fearless dad, starring in National Demon Worshipping Lagoon, know the whole town, including the cow sacrificing cops would be in a frenzy. With pitch forks rising the hicks suspect the family to be some sort of messenger from Satan, or the other way up and around. Chevy Shakes sped him and his family in their suburban station wagon the hell up out of there, only to miles down the road hit a child like figure. So all the while little Jon Bona Ramsey is screaming bloody murder because her dad hit a kid, a body is nowhere to be found. Let's refer back to the desert survival guide for a sec. Don't brake for any dead body. Come to find out all the children in the town are possessed, or perhaps not even human. This could very well be credited partially to their parents. The rest of this movie consists of human sacrifices, and it's up to dad to save the day. And if we recall after Wally World was held up by Chevy and Goldie, the kids were never quite the same - Smutstrutter
