Get ready for a deep dive into the chilling world of the occult, as Master of Horror Eli Roth brings us a new, eerie true-crime docuseries: “Let the Devil In.” This haunting four-part series premieres this August exclusively on MGM+!
Satanic Panic and a Decades-Old Tragedy
“Let The Devil In” revisits one of the most disturbing (and divisive) true-crime stories ever to grip a small American town. Set in suburban New Jersey at the height of the 1980s’ infamous “satanic panic,” the series unearths a decades-old tragedy that shattered a family and sparked whispers of possession, ritual, and evil incarnate.
Through harrowing firsthand accounts, never-before-heard interviews, and visceral recreations, the story unfolds like a true horror film – except every single word of it is real. For the first time, those who lived through the events – friends, witnesses, law enforcement, and community members – will confront the question that’s haunted them for decades: was it the work of Satan… or something even more horrifying?
Eli Roth himself has a deep-rooted fascination with the occult and the enduring power of satanic panic. He highlights how this real-life story blurs the line between documentary and horror, making it all the more unsettling.
Eli Roth’s Been Busy
Of course, Roth is no stranger to dark stories that will leave you wanting to sleep with the lights on. He’s behind films like Hostel, Cabin Fever, The Green Inferno, and Thanksgiving. And his new company, The Horror Section, has recently announced several projects, including its short film competition with a $25,000 grand prize.
Occult Fascination
As cultural fascination with the occult surges once again (think recent hits like Longlegs, Hail Satan?, and Hereditary), “Let The Devil In” lands at the perfect moment, tapping into both the myth and the madness of America’s obsession with evil.
Get ready to question everything you thought you knew when “Let The Devil In” arrives on MGM+ on August 31 at 9 pm ET/PT.
