What happens

Ricky 6 is a 2000 American-Mexican-Canadian film co-production loosely based on the life of Ricky Kasso, a suburban teenager accused of Satanism and murder in the 1980s. The film was written and directed by Peter Filardi, and based on the 1987 book, Say You Love Satan by David St. Clair. Vincent Kartheiser played the disturbed protagonist, renamed Ricky Cowen, in the film. The film also stars Chad Christ, Patrick Renna, Sabine Singh and Emmanuelle Chriqui. Ricky 6 won the Audience Prize at the Fantasia Film Festival in 2000. As of 2025, it has yet to be released in either theaters or on video. However, bootleg VHS and DVD copies of the film have been sold on various Internet sites. Ricky 6 is an international co-production between the United States, Mexico and Canada and was produced by American producer Terry G. Jones, Mexican producer Juan-Carlos Zapata and Canadian producer William Vince. It was filmed in Fredericton and Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
