CURRENT STATUS

A deep passion for true stories and an understanding of their power to inspire and move audiences is essential.
SYNOPSIS
We’ve uncovered a horrible true story about a young Satanic sect in Italy, intertwined with extreme metal music, a band, a group of friends that went too far…way too far!
This sect “Beasts of Satan” committed numerous heinous ritual murders and engaged in other depraved acts. As tension in the sect grew, some members worried that others might inform the police, so they took action.
They buried one friend alive, forced people to put fire on themselves, shot the band’s drummer, hanged one classmate in school and more. This went totally out of control and led all the way up to the Vatican, who re-implemented exorcism trainings for their priests afterwards.
The sect was suspected of 14 more horrible murders, but these could never be proven as there were not enough evidence.
Everyone in the sect was convicted to long sentences but some of them are released today. (We are in contact with one of them).
It is also the story of a father who never gave up searching for his son, who had been murdered by the sect.

WHAT THE INDUSTRY SAYS
"Your movie, Beasts of Satan, has significantly higher earning potential than a typical indie film because it’s based on a shocking true story — especially one that involves Satanic rituals, music culture, youth rebellion, murder and the Vatican. These themes make it highly marketable if positioned correctly."
Emotional Hook:
-True stories feel heavier and more disturbing to audiences than fiction movies.
Key takeaway:
When a true-crime film taps into a real, sensational case, grosses can be 3–5× higher than similar fictional stories.
Why Your Story Has Even More Potential:
-Everybody loves true-crime.
-The metal music scene is worldwide + occult subculture → huge international fanbase.
-The Vatican enforced exorcism training for their priests → strong marketing hook.
-The “Satanic sect” aspect resonates globally because of the Satanic Panic revival online.
The fact that it’s a true story can easily double or even triple your potential audience. If it’s executed with style, accuracy, and emotional weight, it could absolutely break out of the indie niche and compete on a global scale — especially if it lands on a big streaming platform."
BUDGET & ROI
We have a detailed budget, estimated earnings and ROI calculation prepared, so we’re well-positioned to move forward once we find the right partner who can directly help us secure funding.
MOOD REEL
These shocking murders in Italy have remained largely silent in the public eye, even though it reached all the way up to the Vatican, which afterwards introduced exorcism training for its priests. Few people are aware of this story, and it has never been adapted into a feature film. While some documentaries explored it decades ago, we discovered one that told the story in detail. We have carefully edited that documentary and added our own narration to present the events in the way we envision telling this story to the audience.

THE REAL MEMBERS OF BEASTS OF SATAN
These are the members of the sect Beasts of Satan, formed in the late 90's. The group also had a death metal band called Ferocity, which continues to play today. What started as a group of good friends ended up in them killing each other. There were also two girls in the sect, Chiara and Mariangela, who were tragically murdered by the sect. Some members remain incarcerated, while others have been released.
