Quick Hit

Les Trésors de Satan shows clear design choices, even when the material itself is shaky. You can feel the medium learning its own nightmares.

Full Take

The movie is easiest to judge through execution: composition, rhythm, and payoff. The film earns points for clarity of intent, then loses some on drag or thin characterization. It feels like cinema inventing horror in public, one trick-shot at a time. The compressed runtime makes every effect choice visible. The execution is strong enough for BAD.
