Fred Phelps as Satan


On the surface, the ultimate message of Satan's Children is that you should at least embrace Satan if you plan to run away from home. That way, you'll avoid being gay -- because Satan hates gays -- and you will also have the extra benefit of becoming a righteous (Satanically speaking) avenger capable of corralling other cultists into torturing and killing those who sin against Satan.

But I believe the great Frank Henenlotter summarized the film better with his speculations: "Obviously, the film raises a number of interesting questions. Is it saying that homosexuality is an offense so perverse that it’s even beyond evil? Or is it arguing the reverse? If homosexuality is repugnant to satanists, wouldn’t that make it good? Perhaps, even holy?"

He also went on to speculate that the makers of this film likely weren't thinking that deeply.
