wth....now i have to see this movie....
Yeah, throughout the movie Satan follows Jesus through the whole crucifixion and mocks him, and there's one point, during pretty much the most gory beating in the movie (which is saying a lot considering how graphic this movie is) where Satan's holding this deformed monster baby, who's head slowly turns around and does the creepiest smile I've ever seen. I think basically Satan's supposed to be mocking Mary with baby Jesus in the scene.
As for the demon kids, Mel Gibson kind of used them to represent just how strong the guilt Judas was feeling that drove him to hang himself, and the demon kids torment him and don't go away until he finally hangs himself.
I believe when the movie was in theatres there was a lady who actually had a heart attack during the movie. A lot of Christians were offended by how horribly graphic the movie was, but really that's actually how the crucifixion of Jesus was in the bible, so at least we finally got a realistic portrayel. Although, Mel Gibson did use a couple of things from other texts at the time, and also things we don't know for sure, but are strongly suggested (such as Herod being a flamboyant homosexual, complete with his own boy toy o_0)
