Satan Wants You plot

"She was chosen... as the Devil's bride."

This documentary reveals how fear of evil practices was sparked in the 1980s by 'Michelle Remembers', the memoir of psychiatrist Larry Pazder and his patient Michelle Smith. Backed by the Catholic Church, the bestseller used therapy to expose Michelle's kidnapping by baby-stealing satanists. Reinforced by law enforcement and the boom in American television, satanic rumors spread through panicked communities around the world, leaving a wave of destruction and wrongful convictions.

One of the main instigators of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s was the book "Michelle Remembers." In it, Michelle Smith and her psychiatrist, Larry Padzer, described how Michelle, from the age of five, was abused for 15 months by a Satanic cult and forced to do and endure the most horrific things. The book was based on long-repressed memories that surfaced during sessions with Dr. Padzer, triggering a chain reaction. Adams and Horlor reconstruct how an obscure book became a media sensation and how it continues to influence public opinion to this day. It is unique because of the collaboration of Larry Padzer's ex-wife, Michelle's sister, and the daughter Larry and Michelle had together. A well-researched, engaging account marred by sensationalist reconstructions and a breathy narrative style.
