Move over, Jesus! Lando San Miguel saves! THE KILLING OF SATAN is a Filipino horror movie that tells the age-old tale of God Vs. Satan. That is, if God was a diminutive man named Lando who wore a jean jacket and Chuck Taylors. And Satan was an even more diminutive man with a plastic red pitchfork and goatee. Like all genre films from the Philippines, this one throws logic, sanity, and proper filmmaking techniques out the window. In their place, we get laser battles, manimals, zombies, sex, and face mutilation. It's a psychedelic blast of gory absurdity, an epic "adults only" comic book filled with dead-serious emotions and dead-serious hilarity. All in the name of God's revenge. - Joseph A. Ziemba
