Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

For forty-five minutes this Troma movie is a good time with assorted substances and friends. An antidote to the Passion of the Christ. Jesus returns after millennia to slay vampires and sing musical numbers, in various chop socky action setpieces.

Then the Son of God gets a $15 haircut and the joke is kind of lost without those long Aryan locks. It seems like any other cheapo action movie with the audio and video out of sync.

I've caught it on IFC and Scream before. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

My friend lent me the DVD and it i found it to be really annoying. The narroator was really creepy. and the priest riding on the motoped was like 5 min. too long. plus the slow-motion was horrific and the creepy vampire skin doctor kissing passed out women. It's bad, not funny bad, just bad.

yeah, i got this from Netflix and it was the kind of movie that is funny when you talk about it, but not for the hour (or however long) it actually runs.

Prime example: the atheists seeing Jesus kick their friends' asses and they say "I don't believe it!"

funny, but not worth getting your friends together to film it funny.

Also, the sound was recorded after all of the visuals (according to someone on Netflix who cared enough to find out). so watching it was not only un-fun, but annoying.

I thought it was shot with a Bolex...fun camera to just fuck around with, as it has no real use anymore, which this film proves...

They had a golden idea that pretty much ended with the title. Nobody involved really had the talent to do anything interesting with it. It loses its way as soon as the title leaves the screen. Sad.

I enjoy the other work this director did in short form, Harry Knuckles. It packs the entertainment value of this into a small running time which helps decrease the probability of being annoyed by the aesthetic.

I got a kick out of the concept and ridiculousness. The poor dubbing only helped my viewing experience... sue me.

This is America; I'm pretty sure I can sue you for that.

Actually, I do remember now that the film improved somewhat when the Mexican wrestler entered the story. It needed that little extra bit of ridiculous.

I thought this was probably the absolute worst movie I've ever seen. One of my college friends had us all watch this movie claiming it was really funny, but I have never wanted to stop watching a movie so badly in my life. I could perhaps overlook the overall shittiness of the production if there was anything funny happening, but alas there wasn't. I hated this movie so badly that I actually had blocked it from my memory, as it would cause pain just to think about it.

I put this movie on for some friends as a joke one day when coming back from a night out.
Each person was taking turns passing out so I guess in the end no one really knew what the story was about, but I do remember the line:

"Didn't you use to be a lesbian?"
"Yeah, but I got better"
