    Try to see this movie if you can, it is so hard to find. It's not released on DVD yet but there are some copies floating around on the internet. I actually got a great copy of this movie that I bought at a convention a few years back. It's based on the true story of teenage Ricky...( read more) Kasso aka The Acid King. He got that nick name because he use to drop several hits of acid everyday.

    Here's the true story. I'll sum it up for you...

    What happened was Ricky Kasso and a few of his friends, who were brainwashed by him, use to worship Satan and held seances at their friends houses. They also made animal sacrifices and they practiced the Satanic Bible. Actually, what's interesting also is that they use to hold seances in the back of the infamous "haunted" Amityville house. No shit.

    Next comes the murder of one of Ricky Kasso's own friends. One night at a party when Ricky was passed out sleeping, his friend Gary Lauwers stole 10 bags of angel dust from Ricky's pocket. When Ricky found out what the kid had did, him and his other friends lured Gary into the woods with promises to give him drugs and have a party. After taking several hits of mescaline around the campfire things suddenly spun out of control. Ricky Kasso had threatened to kill Gary if he didn't say "I love Satan" and after Gary was being stabbed repeatedly all he could say was, "No, I love my mother". Ricky had stabbed Gary somewhere around 36 times, burned him on parts of his body and gouged out his eyeballs. After the murder Ricky Kasso and his other friends had bragged about it to people around the town. Eventually Ricky was caught by the police, and while waiting in his jail cell Ricky committed suicide by hanging himself.

    One of his other friends also killed himself when he found out how much trouble he was actually in, and Ricky's other close friend was acquitted of second degree murder because of his mental state after doing so many drugs that night.

    This movie was awesome. It's very creepy in the real life sense, being that this was all an actual true story. The acting was believable, especially Ricky Kasso played by Vincent Kartheiser, although in this movie the character's name was Ricky Cowen. There's really not that much violence here, but this movie really didn't need it. The subject matter alone was gruesome enough, especially at the end when the young kid gets murdered. I also liked how they showed a bit of a build up as to why Ricky Kasso turned out the way he did. It's like in the beginning you actually feel a little bad for Ricky, knowing that he could have gotten the help that he needed, but no one was really there for him. All that quickly changes a little later on in the film when you find yourself wanting to strangle the hell out of Vincent Kartheiser's character. Anyway, this movie is a must see! Try to find it, perhaps maybe on EBay or something.

    Also, look up the real picture of Ricky Kasso. Talk about a creepy looking kid!

    great movie based upon the true story of Ricky Kasso, also known as "The Acid King"..hi was only seventeen when hi was involved with satanism and drugs, and before hi took his own life hi stabbed a friend to death..it's dark, sad and scary, the movie really reaches out and grabs ...( read more)you..Vincent Kartheiser is excellent in the role as Ricky..the movie is based upon the book "Say you love Satan"..and if the movie intrigues you, you should check out "Satan in the suburbs-The story behind the movie", it can be difficult to get a hold of, but you can find it on YouTube..

    I was at Northport harbor that night and it wasn't all that complicated. The weed heads were in back of the liquor store smoking out in our own little gang. Ricky and them guys were in a different part of the park/harbor. I knew them guys and all that jazz about satan worship was a bunch of crap, they never even heard of Antoine Lavey or the Church Of Satan. They were into hard rock some of which had undertones of Satan in the lyrics. Rolling Stone Magazine was the one who put the "Satan" (I guess to sell more magazines) into the story. They interviewed most of the people who were there that night (they came to my door) and asked questions like did we hear or see anything? ect. They were all just really losers who got to high off angel dust and were hallucinating. A fight happened over drug money and a death occured. Ricky was still stoned from the dust when he hung himself in jail. Thats all. I think alot of people might have thought that if they added "Satan" They would sell more Mag
