When the Devil's minions begin to terrorise his village and kidnap his daughter, a powerful magician's nephew decides to take action and discovers that he has inherited his uncle's gift of magic in this decidedly offbeat horror film from the Philippines. True to the title, the protagonist does eventually find himself fighting against Satan incarnate, but his minion battles are actually the highlight here as he has to fend off shape-shifting snakes, minions who kill by staring cross-eyed at their victims and the list goes on. Amusing as all this might sound, 'The Killing of Satan' remains a rather mixed bag overall. The first half-hour is actually pretty dry cut with only a single nightmare involving a boulder death standing out. The special effects are also incredibly cheesy and unrealistic to the point that the film is never all that scary and there are some irritating silly sound effects too, not mention many ridiculous costumes. There remains, however, something quite appealing about the filmmakers taking such an uncanny premise and running with it. The dialogue is not exactly first rate, however, the film is played straight (not as a comedy) and while never all that frightening, there are some genuinely unsettling moments to be had - plus where else can one find a film in which its hero defeats a snake by tying it into a knot and throwing it over a pile of rocks?

Gives new meaning to word turkey
Bogey Man15 July 2002
Efren C. Pinon's Philippine film Killing of Satan must be one of the worst films I've ever seen! It stars bunch of amateurs without even a small ability to act, and the whole film is so ridiculous. The "story" is something about some people travelling to some island, where strange things happen, and soon Satan himself appears there!! I really cannot tell plenty about the plot since it all is very confusing and I found myself laughing for most of the time. This film is so laughably bad it's enjoyable!
How can this kind of people ever appear in film? Especially the main character Lando is so wooden, boring and un-charismatic, it is total miracle he was chosen as an actor for this "film!" The acting is of course non existent by all the actors, and everyting else sucks, too. The effects are as ridiculous as possible, as guys shoot funny laser beams from their arms, which make funny noises as the beams fly! I almost killed myself because the laugh-o-meter was so high! World absolutely needs these trash movies since sometimes it is great to relax and enjoy these non-sense turkeys! This was without a doubt intended as serious adventure/horror film, but it fails horribly. The Satan is played by two different actors, and the other one is very fat while the other ain't! The costumes of Satan and other characters are so laughable and they probably found them from some local flea market. The film was without a doubt shot at someone's backyard and the total budget was perhaps less than a ten year old's week money. There is some blood and one fairly cool face ripping, but that's all there is in the "horror department" and I really don't know what the other reviewer means by talking something about some "snuff" scenes in this film!! I watched this smut back on Dutch VHS which is without a doubt the uncut version.
The funniest thing about all this is that I didn't know what kind of film this is, and I expected this to be some serious foreign horror film with some merits as a genre film. You can imagine what was my amazement like when the first laser rays and pair of tricot appeared! I'm happy this film was bad in a way that I managed to enjoy it since if it was so bad it's unenjoyable, I definitely wouldn't have been able to sit through this. Now the film runs 90 minutes, and is pure nonsense whole time, but due to its unintentional comic status this was so much fun, but one has to appreciate trash in order to "enjoy" stuff like Killing of Satan. One part of me hates this film for the reason it wasn't a serious horror as I thought, and another part loves this for same reasons and the film being so stupid and funny.
It is impossible to rate this film, since this is so full of trash and nonsense, others just love it and others hate. I think that due to the fact that this managed to make me laugh a lot, I'll give this 2/10 and that's still pretty much! The director is definitely a genius!

A jean-jacket-wearing champion named Lando must travel to a cave to rescue his daughter from the forces of evil. A Filippino amalgam of Christianity and other religions appears to be the basis for this bizarre fantasy adventure. It has a budget as low as Geek Maggot Bingo and acting that makes William Shatner look like a candidate for knighthood. Guys zap each other with magical rays that appear to have been drawn on the film with crayons. Rubber snakes turn into naked people. Nudity, gore and implied rape co-exist quite happily with a child-like innocence that's at the story's heart...I don't have the cultural background to process this film properly, I'm sure, which is what makes it so damn entertaining. I am now hanging my head in shame and questioning my own gratuitous use of the phrase "WTF" up to this point, because this film is clearly what it was meant for all along.
See it.
See it.
Ridiculous Fun
haz56711 March 2008
The Killing of Satan is a terrible movie with an awful lot of charm because of it, the best kind! If you are into the "so bad it's good" mentality this film is definitely a must see. In a movie production sense this film is criminally woeful, with one of the worst plots and some of the tackiest editing, acting and costumes you will ever see. Despite this, it is highly entertaining with a strong camp appeal. Lando, a 30 something average looking man with an awesome gay porn mustache is the protagonist and the sheer ludicrousness of his plight is enough to have you in stitches. This is only the tip of the iceberg however, get this movie for a rainy day.
The Killing of Coherance
Chop-Socky27 October 1999
"The Killing Of Satan" is a bizarre foriegn film that is virtually incomprehensible. An ex-convict's wife and daughter are stolen by devils and thrown into hell. (Which according to this movie, is maybe 40 feet below the earth's surface.) Now he must save them. Along the way he faces such dangers as deadly styrofoam boulders, a little island kid who only makes cat noises, jumping snakes, and men in spandex outfits who can shoot laser beams. In the end he faces a very scrawny, ridiculous looking Satan. Overall this movie just might be worth seeing if you are in the mood for a very strange Spanish horror flick. (And who isnt?!)
80 minutes of a horrible movie. One great poster.

Lando San Miguel just got out of jail and he's already been given an impossible task. Hunt down and kill Satan. Not someone named Satan. Yep. The devil himself.
Luckily, Lando's uncle takes a bullet meant for him and gives him all of his powers. Of course, he has to deal with the devil's men taking his wife and daughter after killing his son. Lando says stuff like, "Every day I pray to God that he doesn't fill me with murderous rage again." Guess what? God is sending you to kill Satan! You better get ready, Lando.
His big power is to make spirals come out of his hands that deflect bullets. Sure the bullets still leave holes in his shirt. But at least they don't kill him.
There's also a dude along for the ride whose wife gets turned into one of Satan's slaves, so the dude makes her breasts explode. Yes, that really happens.
Lando also meets God, who gives him a powerful weapon: a stick. This allows him to fight more dudes and a woman who turns into a dog before battling Satan, who is getting ready to marry his kidnapped daughter.
There's also a scene where a snake gets tied into a knot. So there's that.

Those wacky Filipinos

Warning: Spoilers
A legendary insane film which has become almost mythical in status, this is probably THE weirdest, most bizarre film ever to come from the Philippines. Pete Tombs' invaluable tome Mondo Macabro states that the film was made in 1974 whereas most internet resources claim it was nine years later. I'm inclined to believe the latter guys, especially considering that the (primitive) level of special effects in the movie would have been incredibly advanced for the Filipino guys if this was indeed made in the early '70s. Legends persist of a longer cut of the movie containing so-called "snuff footage" which I find hard to believe, but any version is a classic of so-bad-it's-good cinema. After a slow, uneven start, the film picks up speed to offer a blistering second half of cheesy action, even cheesier effects, and a total lack of coherence and cohesion all round.
The basic storyline consists of an overweight guy in a red jump-suit calling himself the "Prince of Magic" who does evil things like spinning people's heads around like they're Linda Blair. The village elders are powerless against himself and only one man, Lando, can defeat the baddie. Lando is played by Filipino leading man Ramon Revilla who is marginally less wooden than the rest of the cast, although he's no one's idea of an action hero, possessing neither good looks or muscles. I guess the only reason he was cast so often as the hero was because he was kind of tall. Anyway, Lando is having a bad time of it, suffering unintentionally hilarious nightmares in which he witnesses his uncle getting crushed to a pulp by a huge boulder - a special effect which reaches new lows of "special".
After some bad dialogue, worse dubbing, and lots of to-ing and fro-ing between bizarre characters, including a mute kid, his god-like dad and Lando's hottie wife, Lando finds himself meeting the waterlogged corpse of his dead uncle (who jumps up out of the sea on to his boat like Jason in Friday the 13th) and inheriting his magical abilities which involve shooting laser beams from his hands and healing wounds with blue lights (?). He then joins up with a swarthy chum to venture into an underground chasm and fight the Prince of Magic, as you would I'm sure given the same situation. From here on the film doesn't let up in its steady stream of rubbishy effects and insane action. Lando must battle a horde of jumping snakes (he ties one up in a scene guaranteed to offend animal lovers) and sexy snake-women, cat-women, and even dog-women! A bunch of sweating, half-naked karate guys run around in Hell and attempt to beat up Lando but he manages to kill them all, then moving on to engage the Prince of Magic's black-clad henchmen with lots of cheap and cheesy magic laser beam battles and explosions.
People are lifted into the air and spun around with extraordinarily bad special effects work whilst a man has his face torn off in a graphically gruesome moment. A caged of totally naked Filipino women is included into the plot just to add to the exploitation value that little bit more. Lando learns the art of super-invisibility and single-handedly destroys the Prince and his men. Then, of course, comes the showdown everybody has been waiting for, in which Lando battles ol' Mr Scratch himself, Satan, decked out in traditional horns and suit and even carrying a trident. The ensuing battle is as cheap and tacky as you could ever hope for. Finally, the movie finishes with real-life gale force footage, a natural event which just suddenly seems to have sprung up, prompting the cameramen to point and shoot and worry about inserting it into the film at a choice moment later on. A crazy moment which just adds to the sheer wackiness of this production, which is a must for all bad movie lovers and an incomprehensible mess for everyone else.

Wild and wacky fun

Warning: Spoilers
Satan is on the prowl with his minions and a doubtful man is called upon to take the place of his uncle as the head of a band of holy men challenging the prince of darkness. Wild and woolly film is the absolute definition of Psychotronic film making. This film is simply out there with some truly wild images from Satan all in red to the man run over by the boulder to the spinning head (imagine if Linda Blair's head was on a turn table at 78 RPMs). Its a one of a kind film that is absolutely stunning in its plot and images. Wow. If you want off beat and out there this film is for you. I have no idea if its good because its just wild. Weird movie lovers need to search this out.
Weird Wacky Mustachioed Fun
moycon17 June 2008
I'll start by mentioning this is a Filipino-made horror-fantasy film. If you've ever seen a Filipino horror movie then you know you're in for a wild wacky horrorificly (is that a word?) entertaining time.
In this movie a paunchy mustachioed jeans jacket wearing Filipino human named Lando who uses the super powers of God is chosen by his dead uncle to battle the forces of evil. Before actually getting to battle Satan, he must first face the equally impressive mustachioed Prince of Magic who wears a bright red jumpsuit and cape (kinda like something Elvis might wear) and his minions and free the naked and chubby Filipino girls who were stolen from the village. This movie has so much imagination packed into 90 minutes you just have to like it in spite of the cheap-jack animated super powers everyone seems to have.
Also included in this wild flick are some pretty decent old school horror FX including a man (the dead uncle) who gets literally flattened by a huge boulder and is reduced to a still talking head connected a wet pile of flat intestines and gore. There is also an amazing ripping scene that will make you rewind more than once. (You'll know it when you see it) I'm sure most people after viewing this film would be like "WTF!!?" but I've always got a kick out of it. I've had the BIG BOXED VHS version of this film in my collection for probably 15 years. Not sure if it's even available anymore which is a shame. If you want to be entertained, this flick is just the thing. I highly recommend it.

Super low budget Filipino versus Satan fight film
abduktionsphanomen11 February 2024
The Killing of Satan (AKA: Lumaban ka, Satanas) - 1983
(This Films Rates a C )
A crazy super low budget Filipino film where a mustachioed man named Lando fights to save his daughter from Satan. "You're yellow Satan!" But first he is unknowingly summoned by his dead uncle to battle The Prince of Magic and his evil posse. The prince has these rays from his hands that can incapacitate. The dead uncle guides Lando through his journey. Eventually learning of his true superhuman powers and learning he can heal plus withstand bullets. The film gets kind of weird from there. There are fake explosions, fake rockslides down a mountain, snake slapping and tying the body into a knot, shape shifters, phony yet entertaining combat scenes including fisticuffs and hand rays, the defeat of Satan and lots of snakes. The script and acting are not meant to be funny but are, mainly due to the extremely absurd dubbing. There are too many examples of this. Sometimes the storyline gets lost and often times it's just plain bad. The gore and effects are mild and not anything exciting. There are boobs. It is ok for what it is.
Throwing down against the forces of evil
Woodyanders8 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Virtuous and valiant mortal Lando San Miguel (a stiff, but endearingly sincere performance by Ramon Revilla) has to rescue his abducted daughter from the clutches of a wicked magician. Things take a turn for the worse after Lando learns that the magician is in cahoots with none other than Satan (robustly played with cackling glee by Charlie Davo).
This thoroughly berserk fantasy/horror adventure outing starts out kind of slow and dull, but fortunately kicks into gloriously gonzo gear in the off the wall second half: Among the loopy delights to be relished herein are snakes that transform into lethal dwarves with claws and forked tongues, guys shooting hokey scratched-on lasers at each other, jolting outbursts of raw brutal violence, a waterfall overflowing with blood, a bunch of buck naked gals being held prisoner in an electrified iron cage, a hot sorceress babe who turns herself into a snake, a cat, and even an especially ferocious dog, Lando tying a snake into a knot and slamming it against the wall of a cave, and a boffo exciting climatic confrontation between Lando and El Diablo. The fact that the ridiculous premise is treated with utmost seriousness, the laughably lousy dubbing, and the chintzy cut-rate (not so) special effects further add to this film's considerable nutso charm. A wacky blast.

THE KILLING OF Satan was the first recommendation by this clerk at a brand new offbeat video store in my neighborhood and I fell in love with the movie and the store after that. I told him I felt I had seen everything horror-wise that was good and that I had also seen all the so bad it's good horror/trash stuff - like Ed Wood, Al Adamson, Skip Milligan, Albert Pyun, etc. so they recommend this little opus and my pals and I were laughing our heads off - the special effects and acting are atrocious - the scene where a large boulder crushes someone is so inept and badly done that Wily Coyote would smirk - the boulder looks like a large wad of newspaper, the actor is out of position for the "boulder" to crush him so he literally flings himself in front of it and then after he is crushed they reveal the actor's head sticking up out of the ground and a paper doll outline of his body with some ketchup on it. After that, we were hooked. The fights are bad, the music is bad and yet there are also some really creepy things it - in fact, there was this mute cave boy that totally freaked out my friend - there are scenes with LOTS of real snakes - I mean, this is the Phillipines, I'm sure the film crew just hired some locals to bag snakes and they came back with tons - in one scene - the lead hero is just smashing and tying real LIVE snakes in knots - the finale between Lando the hero and Satan himself has to be seen to be believed. THE KILLING OF Satan is an amazingly bad movie for lovers of great bad International cheese.
Truly one of a kind
AlsExGal18 September 2020
This film is an incredible religious fantasy mind-blower from the Philippines. After the spiritual defender of a small seaside village dies, it falls to his nephew in the big city to return and protect the villagers from the "Prince of Magic" and his evil minions. The nephew, decked out in blue jeans and matching denim jacket and sporting a nice Tom Selleck mustache, learns to harness his newly-found Holy magic powers, and sets out to defeat the Prince. But the Prince's men kidnap our hero's daughter and transport her to Hell, to be sacrificed by none other than Satan himself! The hero must battle the minions of the underworld to rescue his child and protect the village from harm.
This film is truly one of a kind. The bad dubbing, cheesy laser-gun sound effects for the magical spells, plot twists and turns that are baffling, inspired make-up design, and chintzy costumes combine for one grand viewing experience. Satan is depicted alternately as a skinny guy in a red body stocking wielding a plastic pitchfork, and also as a chubby cheeked guy in a bad tux and a Dracula cape. At one point, our hero picks up a (real) snake and slaps its head 3 or 4 times before tying it into a knot and throwing it on the ground, where it promptly turns into a short naked Filipino guy with snake-scale make up all over his body. I had a hard time figuring out who the audience for this was supposed to be. It takes its religion seriously, and there is a lot of Catholic imagery and iconography. But at the same time, its cartoonish magic wizard battles are also punctuated with gratuitous nudity and bloody violence. Whether viewed as a bizarre cultural exercise outside of our norms, or as a piece of unintentionally hilarious exploitation madness, I finally realized that the audience for this is those with a taste for the absurd. Since I have a taste for the absurd I can rate it 9/10 for myself, but the standard deviation on the viewers' appreciation of this film is going to be very high.

Best. Bad. Movie. Ever!
Freethinker_Atheist27 April 2023
There is no way another bad movie could be more entertaining than this one. This one takes the cake. I can say that because I have watched hundreds of bad movies. This one is bad in everything, but the story is just so bizarre, it's unbelievably hilarious! I am pretty sure this movie was meant to be serious, which makes it even more hilarious, because you have here adults "acting" like children who are playing supernatural stuff. I try to imagine what went through the actors' mind while working in this bizarreness. They must have thought "WTF?" and laughed their socks off.
By the way: "Lando, wherever you are. Hear us. Come to us. Your uncle needs you!".

In THE KILLING OF SATAN, anti-hero, Lando (Ramon Revilla) sets out on a journey through Hell itself, after being resurrected from the dead. Lando is out to avenge the death of his uncle, and rescue his niece from the clutches of the perverse Prince of Magic.
This is an inventive and entertaining fantasy film, containing plenty of karate and punches that sound like a side of beef is being thwacked with a cricket bat! The final conflict is a hoodoo holocaust, complete with shape-shifting harem girls and Satan himself! This is tailor-made for fans of truly bizarre, supernatural cinema. There are also lots of effectively gushy moments to please any gorehounds.
A divine, crackpot masterwork of Filipino filmmaking...
