Poster for The Brotherhood of Satan

A demon-spirit of madness and murder holds a California town in the grip of terror.

Film Synopsis

The Brotherhood of Satan (1971) follows a widower traveling with his young daughter and girlfriend who becomes trapped in an isolated Southwestern town after discovering a deadly roadside incident. As a series of deaths and child disappearances unsettle the community, a hidden cult emerges, and the danger intensifies as the group uncovers a ritualistic plan tied to the town’s children. This horror film blends occult paranoia, small-town isolation, and ritualistic dread in an examination of fear, control, and the corruption of innocence.
