Oh yeah! From the genius that brought us Q: The Winged Serpent and The Stuff (BOTH EXCELLENT FILMS, BY THE WAY), we have another one I was pretty excited about.
Let's talk about:
Folks, it should come as no surprise that this one is going to rip into organized religion. The surprise though, will be in it's execution and reveal! It's a Larry Cohen film though, so it should also come as no surprise that this film is going to get WEIRD. Like very, very weird.
A word of warning, this film kicks off - right away - with a very dramatic and unsettling mass shooting in the middle of a public place. An all too often real life occurrence that pisses me right the f off.
The reason for these shootings and mass killings? The murderers were happy, elated even, to share that it was God that told them to commit the acts. It actually felt like I was listening to some QAnon or MAGA folks trying to passionately reason their insane logic....
Now this New York City cop needs to understand why and where all this madness is coming from.
This is a rough film for a wide variety of reasons - not only is the subject tough, it's complicated and wayward and I had to continuously rewind the film because I missed a small crucial second. This one will will require your full, quiet attention at all times.
In all it's a descent, wild ride, but not everyone's flavor. Be prepared to have more questions after the film than when you started.
Pairs with communion and existential dread.
I watched this film on Shudder or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this mind-melter.
