"Odd SOV movie thats more philosophizing than expected. More of a Monster AA meeting than a mash."
"Satan’s Menagerie is pure VHSHITFEST territory: a homemade SOV monster gathering with more ambition than budget, and that is a big part of the charm. The setup of five creatures of darkness coming together around the resurrection of a demon god gives it a fun mythic hook, even when the pacing wanders and the handmade nature is impossible to miss. What makes it work is the personality: local-talent energy, goofy monster business, practical effects, and the feeling that everyone involved was trying to build their own little horror universe from whatever they had available. The Blu-ray gives this rare oddity a much better home than it probably ever expected, with commentary, a making-of documentary, bonus feature, music video, still gallery, and SDH subtitles. A fun rescue for patient SOV monster fans."
"Satan’s Menagerie is a wild, campy horror anthology that delivers a perfect blend of creepy and cheesy. Its inventive stories and practical effects make it a fun ride for fans of cult horror. A must-watch for those who love their scares with a side of dark humor."
"Decent sov movie nothing great. Lots of good extras make it worth it."
"Super ambutious and rich in mythology but overly long. The last thirty minutes when the monsters get together are fun but the 70 minutes that lead up to this are pretty bloated and dull. The ending does make up for this tho."
"This is. . . what it is. I really enjoyed the 3 or 4 minutes where the one lake monster got up and monologued to the guy about how much we are destroying the environment and making him so toxic he has to Monster it Out."
"Don’t think about it just add to cart and you’ll be happy"
"Charmingly amateurish monster movie. Shot in Queens with local talents."
"It was a fun watch, Good characters good story it held my interest"
"Fun monster SOV with great practical effects"
